JTF, 21 Years of Innovation Serving the Community
The Jewelry Technology Forum celebrates its 21st anniversary by entering a new phase. On September 7, at Vicenzaoro, a full day will be dedicated to in-depth discussions on 3D printing, and innovation applied to jewelry, watchmaking, and luxury accessorie
Vicenzaoro September 2026 has brought with it several new developments, including the new edition of the Jewelry Technology Forum to be held in September rather than in its traditional January slot. Established in 2004 through an initiative by Legor and Italian Exhibition Group as an event focused on the metallurgical and chemical aspects of jewelry manufacturing, JTF now celebrates its twenty-first anniversary by evolving into an international forum dedicated to additive manufacturing and the technologies reshaping the world of jewelry and luxury goods. Scheduled for September 7, the event will feature discussions on the processes that are transforming the way high-value products are designed and manufactured. The program will focus on the most advanced 3D printing technologies, industrial applications of additive manufacturing, and the opportunities created by the integration of design, innovation, and production, with the goal of significantly broadening its target audience. Alongside technicians, researchers, and process specialists, the forum will engage designers, brands, entrepreneurs, production managers, and decision-makers interested in understanding the potential of a technology that is set to have an increasingly profound impact on the sector’s competitiveness. Particular attention will be given to practical applications of additive manufacturing, with presentations of case studies, best practices, and innovations developed by leading technology providers. The discussion will extend beyond manufacturing aspects to include the economic, strategic, and creative implications of a transformation that is reshaping the entire supply chain. The evolution of JTF is also part of a broader effort to renew the cultural and educational offerings dedicated to the jewelry industry. Last September saw the debut of a new format, The Vicenza Symposium, a forum focused on scientific research and materials, which further strengthened the role of the Vicenza-based Boutique Show as a platform for applied innovation and dialogue with the manufacturing world. It is no coincidence that this new phase coincides with the growth of T.Gold and the modernization of the exhibition venue, now more than ever an international benchmark for jewelry technologies and a privileged setting for envisioning the future of luxury manufacturing.
