VicenzaOro 2026: titanium, gold, and precious stones for the new jewels by Daverio1933
From January 16 to 21, the first edition of VicenzaOro 2026, the world jewelry fair held twice a year, in January and September, in the Venetian city, will take place. There will be 1,300 brands present, 40% of which come from abroad, particularly from Turkey, Hong Kong, Thailand, Germany, Belgium, Spain, and India. There are over 550 buyers from 65 foreign countries.
Daverio1933 participates in VicenzaOro 2026 with its high jewelry creations, particularly with the new titanium, gold, and precious stone jewels from two iconic collections: I Ricci by D33® and ForEverHugMe.
The new features of the “I Ricci by D33” collection
This line, whose trademark has recently been registered, presents the new Teeny Tiny models, making the collection even more accessible. The main feature, besides the unmistakable hedgehog shape, is the 5 variations of metals and colors: these jewels are available in white, rose, and yellow gold and in titanium, both natural and oxidized. The I Ricci by D33 collection includes pendants, earrings, bracelets, and rings.
The first novelty is the Nicely Riccio ring, previewed at the Cannes Festival 2025 and offered from 2026 with a smaller diameter for better wearability. Two new rings have also been created in terms of size: one is the smallest among those offered so far, while the other is a maxi version.
The earrings are also presented in three new variants of different sizes.
The flex bracelets, in addition to the titanium-only version, also feature a more precious model that combines natural titanium with white gold.
The new Ricci pendants offer unprecedented combinations featuring oxidized titanium paired with precious stones of a single hue, creating a sharp color contrast with a strong aesthetic impact. In the proposals presented at VicenzaOro 2026, oxidized titanium is paired with rubies, with a yellow gold chain, green diamonds, with a white gold chain, and orange sapphires, with a rose gold chain.
At VicenzaOro 2026, the new jewels from the ForEverHugMe line
ForEverHugMe is another iconic collection by Daverio1933, characterized by the symbol of the infinite embrace, making each creation a true jewel-sculpture. These pieces also arrive at VicenzaOro 2026 with new versions in titanium, gold, and diamonds, in all forms: rings, bracelets, pendants, and earrings.
In particular, the iconic ring of the collection has been reinterpreted with even more slender and dynamic shapes: in addition to the classic version in gold and diamond pavé, there is now the variant in titanium and rose gold, with diamonds and enamel.
Also new is the bracelet Titanium Whisper, in oxidized titanium with white diamonds and rose gold details.
The new pendant is in natural titanium, embellished with blue enamel details and diamonds.
Luca Daverio again tutor of the Talent project at VicenzaOro 2026
The event also reintroduces the initiative “The 8 – 4 designers x 4 curators”, now in its third edition: four young professionals present their project, accompanied and guided by as many experienced jewel designers through all stages of the process, up to the official presentation during the fair.
Luca Daverio, who had already served as a tutor in the 2025 edition, this year followed Roya Ammari, a young jewel designer graduated from IED in Rome, who presents a project on a metal rarely used in jewelry, bismuth.
Roya Ammari, her story and her project
“I am Roya Ammari, I am 29 years old, and my life path has not been linear. It was an act of breaking away, a choice of listening and courage. Born in Iran and trained through seemingly distant disciplines, I traversed Mechanical Engineering, Italian Language and Literature, until reaching Jewelry Design at IED in Rome. Every deviation left a mark, every abandonment opened a space.
“Dream, No 83” was born as a thesis project for IED and is configured as an investigation into dreams, transformation, and matter. At its center is bismuth: a semi-metal, pure and heavy element with atomic number 83, non-toxic, already used in the pharmaceutical field. Bismuth is not extracted directly but emerges as a byproduct of other mining processes; its presence is a consequence, not an act of primary exploitation. In this sense, its use in contemporary jewelry is inherently sustainable, both ethically and energetically: requiring low processing temperatures, it is compatible with the use of renewable energies and is also recyclable.
Experimentation on bismuth
Within this research, I developed for the first time a set of processes and application methodologies for bismuth in the jewelry sector, exploring its technical and expressive potentials beyond the limits investigated so far. The project thus takes shape not only as a work but as an act of material research, where experimentation becomes a tool of knowledge and openness towards new languages of contemporary jewelry.
But it is its visual identity that makes it extraordinary. Bismuth grows, crystallizes, represents colored oxidations, according to logics that escape total control. In “Dream, No 83” the material is not simply shaped but activated. Through the experimentation of its physical behaviors, I developed new mechanisms for its reproduction and application in jewelry, generating multiple versions, each carrying a variation, an error, a possibility.
In this project, the dream is not an escape, but a language. It is the space where the material emancipates from function, and the jewel becomes a testimony of a process, a transformation, an act of trust in change: Dream.”
