With a high-quality portfolio of brands with a focus on retailers, sustainability and dialogue. New thematic areas give new impetus.
With the successful combination of a successful ordering platform, community event as well as innovative themes, INOVA COLLECTION, held from 29 to 31 August 2025, once again confirmed its role as an interactive meeting place for the industry. During the three days, the Messecenter Hofheim Rhein-Main provided the ideal environment. An environment for efficient ordering for the autumn but also an inspiring trade fair experience.
«INOVA COLLECTION is not an anonymous exhibition, but a reliable platform where discussions, directions and new ideas emerge. Its personal character is the deciding factor for many people. And it is also invaluable in these economically difficult times,» comments Project Director Verena Westphal.
Other comments also show how firmly established the report is in the industry. «INOVA COLLECTION is the ideal place for trade visitors looking for inspiration and relevant new discoveries. But also for people who depend on efficient order planning.» As Andreas Filius of Filius Zeitdesign explains. «The fair is a fixed date not only in our calendar, but also in that of our customers. Which is great.» And Frank Heringer of DiamondGroup also comments. «Since its launch eight years ago, INOVA COLLECTION has become a real brand. And it's hard to imagine the German jewellery industry without it.».
Focus on sustainability and dialogue
In collaboration with Ralf G. Schröder (business consultant for the jewellery and gemstone sector with a focus on fair and sustainable markets) and Sophie Koschnick (Diamond Secrets), INOVA COLLECTION 2025 has brought together two new formats in a common space. The Sustainability Space deliberately emphasized responsible jewellery production. While «The Stammtisch - where jewellery, design and the art of goldsmithing come together» moved the digital Facebook conversation into a live trade show experience for the first time.
«With the Sustainability Space we have been able to actively support dialogue and bring new ideas and stimuli. We are very happy with the positive response. Which we see as clear confirmation that we are on the right track with this format», concludes Ralf G. Schröder on his successful presentation at the fair. And Sophie Koschnick adds. «The digital conversation on social media strengthens and connects those involved in the profession across all boundaries. This weekend we experienced first-hand how enjoyable and important it can be when profiles turn into real people and personal relationships are developed from digital conversations.»
