New Collections Spring Summer 2008
The idea for a fashion accessory capable of expressing one's personality, values, passions, politics, secrets, and sensibilities originated with Paolo Gensini in the small town of Sesto Fiorentino, near Florence, Italy. Gensini named his new creation Nomination from the Latin term meaning to give someone an appropriate name. In a few years, the company became a family affair and a worldwide success.

Through its years of success and expansion, Nomination has stayed true to its Italian roots and family values. Now the world's largest manufacturer of Italian charm bracelets, Nomination also offers additional lines of unique stainless steel jewelry that promote communication and self-expression. The popularity of these exclusive collections - each of which features bracelets, necklaces, rings, and accessories - has helped make the company a worldwide leader in the steel and gold jewelry market.

Nomination Italian Charm Bracelets
Intrigued by the customizable aspect of traditional charm bracelets, Paolo Gensini devised a modular or 'composable' bracelet comprised of a series of links. Connected by a spring-loaded mechanism, each segment could be filled (and replaced), one by one, with a different decorative design. Fashioned out of high quality stainless steel, the pieces were guaranteed never to tarnish or fade.

As Nomination's Composable bracelets increased in popularity, so did their communicative powers. What started as a series of exquisitely-detailed links that conveyed everything from initials and astrological signs to sports, special interests and life passages quickly grew to encompass more enigmatic symbols.

Bracelet links featuring more esoteric images - scissors, a padlock, a spider web - became imbued with the wearer's own meaning, building on Nomination's language of icon-based communications, and the wearer's personal mystique.
