Lobortas at Vicenzaoro 2026 and VO Awards: International Recognition of Ukrainian Jewellery Art

January 16-20, 2026

The House of Lobortas became the first Ukrainian jewellery company to be represented at Vicenzaoro – The Jewellery Boutique Show, one of the leading international platforms for contemporary jewellery art and design.

The exhibition opened on 16 January 2026 with an official ceremony at the Teatro Palladio (Expo Centre) attended by key industry representatives and local authorities, including Alberto Stefani, President of the Veneto Region; Luca Zaia, President of the Regional Council; Matteo Zoppas, the President of the Italian Trade Agency; Giacomo Possamai, Mayor of Vicenza; and other distinguished guests. This edition of Vicenzaoro brought together more than 1,300 exhibiting brands from around the world, representing the full spectrum of the industry — from high jewellery to technology, components, diamonds, and watches — underscoring the exhibition’s strategic role as a global business platform.

A special highlight for the House of Lobortas was an honourable place in The Design Room — the creative heart of the Vicenzaoro ICON community, where the strongest authorial concepts and iconic works of the high jewellery segment are presented.

Another significant moment was participation in the first‑ever VO Awards 2026. The House of Lobortas’ work — the kaleidoscope Treasure of Aurora with a kinetic mechanism — reached the final and was recognised among the winners in the BEST IN ICON — High End Jewellery category.

Throughout the exhibition, our stand was visited by industry professionals, collectors, designers, buyers, and representatives of the international jewellery community. The works presented received high praise and sincere feedback for their ideas, craftsmanship, and recognisable authorial style.

Participation in Vicenzaoro 2026 became an important step in strengthening the international presence of the House of Lobortas and reaffirmed the worthy place of Ukrainian jewellery art on the world stage.
