Between May 30 and June 3, more than 150 Italian companies will be exhibiting in Las Vegas representing The Extraordinary Italian Jewelry: 36 companies at Couture; 102 companies at JCK, both inside and outside the Italian Pavilion Bella Italia; and 13 companies at Premier under the Italian Pavilion organized by IEG, managing VicenzaOro and OroArezzo.
Each Italian company features an intriguing blend of skills, passion, creative abilities, intuition in anticipating future trends, product and process innovation and unique aesthetic taste. From upscale products with precious gems, pearls and coral, wrought in gold and silver, to creations that reflect contemporary fashion and taste, Italian jewelry embodies art and culture.
Historically known for distinctive flair, creative content and an eye for fashion, this is your chance to experience all the Italian Jewelry market has to offer! The companies exhibiting come from all over Italy, the majority of which have their headquarters in the principal jewelry manufacturing districts, each of them specialized in a different kind of production:
