The Vicenza goldsmith industry presents, alongside the numerous artisan businesses, important large industrial companies that make use of technologically sophisticated machinery, capable of producing high volumes of chains, straps and medals at low costs.

Until a few years ago, the typical goldsmith products of Vicenza were chains, medals and straps. Today the production range is much wider and more diversified : heavier productions have been abandoned and lighter, better finished and higher added value items have been created . These are goldsmith's objects, fine goldsmithery and, to a more limited extent, mini-jewellery. The chain represents, however, a fundamental component of Vicenza goldsmith production.

The systems and equipment used in the production process of the chain, in fact, lead to the choice of medium-large size, with high production volumes (with peaks reaching 30,000 kg of gold transformed per year) and with technological equipment 'avant-garde. The plants here reach the largest dimensions that can be found in the sector .
