In Italy, the jewellery market in late February 2026 is anchored by the prestigious Milano Fashion&Jewels event (February 21–23, 2026), where new "Made-in-Italy" trends for the upcoming season are being unveiled. For shoppers, this coincides with the final "Winter Sale" clearances and the launch of new 2026/2027 collections across major retail chains and boutiques.
1. Major Retailer & Boutique Offers
Stroili (National & Online)
As one of Italy's most widespread jewellery retailers, Stroili is currently running a massive "Last Chance" Winter Sale:
* Winter Clearance: Discounts of up to 50% to 70% on selected gold, silver, and diamond collections to clear inventory for spring.
* New Arrivals: Launching the "Fiori di Stroili" 2026 line with prices starting around €49 for gold-plated silver.
* Fidelity Card: Members often get an extra 10% discount or priority access to "Private Sales" during this transition period.
Morellato (Boutiques & Online)
Known for chic, everyday luxury, Morellato is heavily promoting its 2026/2027 Catalogue:
* Outlet Selection: Offering 50% to 70% OFF previous collections, including the Perfetta and Tesori lines.
* Everyday Luxury: Currently highlighting the Perla Essenziale collection with silver bracelets starting at €89.10.
* Newsletter Perk: New subscribers typically receive a 15% discount on their first order of non-sale items.
BlueSpirit (National)
BlueSpirit is focusing on high-purity gold and luxury gifting:
* "Special Day 30" Promotion: Select 18kt gold necklaces and earrings are seeing markdowns of 50% to 70% (e.g., specific diamond necklaces reduced from €599 to €299.50).
* Summer Sale Preview: While it’s only February, some outlets are already advertising early clearance of "Summer 50%" stock from previous years.
2. Current Precious Metal Rates in Italy (EUR)
Gold prices in Italy have seen a significant spike this week. As of February 21–22, 2026, the market rates per gram are:
* 24K Gold: Approximately €139.85 (Ask price at premium dealers).
* 18K Gold (750 Hallmark): Approximately €101.96 to €104.50. (The mandatory luxury standard in Italy).
* 14K Gold (585 Hallmark): Approximately €79.30.
* 925 Silver: Approximately €2.15 to €2.31 per gram.
3. Luxury Watch & Outlet Shopping
* Scalo Milano Outlet & More: Currently running "Say Yellow" Winter Sales through the end of February. High-end brands like Salewa and Adidas Terrex are seeing multi-buy promos, while watch boutiques are offering an average of 30%–35% off retail prices.
* Milano Fashion&Jewels (Rho Fiera): If you are in Milan from February 21–23, the trade show is the epicenter of the industry. While primarily for professionals, many independent designers in the nearby Brera District hold "Open Studio" events with exclusive prototype pricing during this week.
Essential Shopping Tips
* Tax-Free (IVA): Non-EU tourists can reclaim a significant portion of the 22% VAT (though for jewellery, the net refund is often cited closer to 10%–12% after fees).
* New 2026 Rule: You must present your passport (or a digital scan) in-store at the time of purchase for the new digital "Otello" tax-free system.
* Minimum Spend: Generally €175.00 from a single shop, though some retailers allow aggregation of receipts over €70.01 made on the same day.
* Hallmarking: Genuine Italian gold must carry the 750 (for 18k) stamp inside an oval, alongside the manufacturer's identification code (e.g., a star followed by a number and province initials like 1 AR for Arezzo).
* Bargaining: In high-street boutiques (Via Montenapoleone in Milan or Via dei Condotti in Rome), prices are fixed. However, in the Ponte Vecchio in Florence or family-owned goldsmiths, a 5% to 10% discount for cash (contanti) is frequently possible.
