Nomination charms and Composable bracelets at Argento

Nomination was founded near Florence in 1983, and in 1987 it designed the piece it is still best known for: the Composable bracelet. Every link is its own small piece of Italian design, and the bracelet is built one link at a time, so no two ever turn out quite the same. A letter for a name, a birthstone for a birthday, a little paw print for the dog who runs the house: it becomes a lovely record of the people and moments that matter to the person wearing it.

Argento has been an official Nomination partner for over 15 years. We carry the Composable collection, including each season's new charms, alongside Nomination rings, earrings, necklaces and watches.

How the Composable bracelet works

A Composable bracelet is a row of interlocking stainless steel links. To add a charm, you take out one plain link and clip the charm into its place, so the bracelet stays the same size however many charms it carries.

  • Choose a starter bracelet in stainless steel, gold, rose gold, gunmetal or matte black. Every link is 1cm wide.
  • Pick a size. Our starter bracelets come in 14, 16 and 18 links, and links can be taken out to make a bracelet smaller.
  • Add your first charm. Starter bracelets are sold with at least one charm, so you have something to wear from day one.
  • Keep the plain links you swap out. Once you have enough of them, they make the start of a second bracelet.

Almost every charm we stock belongs to Nomination's Classic Composable range, which fits all of our starter bracelets. Nomination also make a Big Composable range: the links are the same width but taller, so Classic and Big charms do not sit together on one bracelet.

A charm for every story

Hundreds of Nomination charms are in stock at any time, and most people find themselves coming back to the same few themes:

  • Letters and numbers for names, initials, anniversaries and lucky numbers.
  • Birthstones in a sparkle of colour for every month of the year.
  • Family and friends charms that say Mum, Sister, Daughter, Nan or Best Friend.
  • Love and hearts, including our much loved Claddagh charms.
  • Animals and paw prints for pet lovers, right through to a Highland cow.
  • Travel, hobbies and nature for the places, passions and little things that make someone who they are.
  • Birthdays, milestones and faith, from an 18th or 21st to a Holy Communion.
  • Christmas charms, which arrive each winter and make perfect stocking fillers.

Gold, silver or rose gold?

The base of every Composable link is stainless steel, and the decorative face is where the character comes in: sterling silver, 18ct gold, rose gold tones, colourful enamel and sparkling cubic zirconia. Plenty of people mix metals on one bracelet, and it looks beautiful. If you are buying for someone who only wears one metal, each product page lists the exact materials.

Personalised and engraved Nomination charms

We engrave Nomination engravable plate charms in house. Add a name, a date or a short message, or upload a handwritten note and we will engrave it in the handwriting of the person who wrote it. It is one of the most thoughtful gifts we make. Engraved charms are made to order, so allow a little extra time in the run up to Christmas. Personalised pieces cannot be returned unless they are faulty.

Nomination gift ideas

For a first Nomination, a starter bracelet with two or three charms is the classic choice: complete enough to wear straight away, with an easy way to keep adding to it. Our Nomination gift sets arrive with the bracelet and charms together, ready to give. For someone who already has a bracelet, a single charm that means something to them is often the gift they treasure most.

Frequently asked questions

What is a Nomination Composable bracelet?

It is a bracelet built from individual interlocking links that you choose yourself. You start with a base bracelet of plain stainless steel links, then swap those links for decorative charms: letters, birthstones, symbols, engraved plates.

Charms can be added, moved, or changed at any point, which is why so many people build a bracelet up over years rather than buying it all at once.

How many charms fit on a Nomination bracelet?

As many as the bracelet has links. Each charm replaces one plain link, so a 16 link bracelet can carry up to 16 charms and stays the same size as it fills up.

Most people start with one to three charms and add more for birthdays, Christmas and milestones.

How do I choose the right Nomination bracelet size?

Measure your wrist with a tape measure or a strip of paper, then choose the size closest to that measurement. A Composable bracelet should sit snugly, with no gaps between the links.

Composable bracelets are sized by the number of links, and links can be removed to make one smaller. If you are between sizes, our teams size bracelets in store every day across our 25 stores in the UK and Ireland.

How do I add or remove a Nomination charm?

Composable links clip on and off by hand, so you do not need tools or a jeweller. Hold the bracelet flat, ease the link apart gently at the join, slide it into place, and press it closed.

If a link feels stiff, bring the bracelet into any Argento store and we will do it for you.

What are Nomination charms made from?

The base link of a Composable charm is stainless steel. The decorative front varies by design: 18ct gold, sterling silver, enamel, cubic zirconia, or a combination of these.

Each product page lists the exact materials for that charm, which is worth checking if you are buying for someone who prefers a particular metal.

Are Nomination Classic and Big charms interchangeable?

No. Classic and Big links are the same width, but Big links are taller, so they do not sit neatly together on one bracelet.

Almost all of the charms we stock are Classic, which fit every starter bracelet we sell.

Do Nomination charms fit a Pandora bracelet?

No. Nomination charms are links that clip into a Composable bracelet, while Pandora charms thread onto a chain, so the two systems are not interchangeable.

Nomination charms fit Nomination Composable bracelets only.

Can I have a Nomination charm engraved?

Yes. We engrave Nomination engravable plate charms in house, and you can upload a handwritten message so it is engraved in the handwriting of the person who wrote it.

Engraved pieces are made to order, so allow extra time, particularly in the run up to Christmas.

Are your Nomination charms genuine?

Yes. Argento has been an official Nomination partner for over 15 years, and every charm we sell comes directly from Nomination in Italy.

We also run four dedicated Nomination stores, in Belfast, Braehead, Dundee and Leicester, alongside our wider store network.

Is delivery free on Nomination?

Yes. Delivery is free on all Nomination orders to the UK and Ireland, with no minimum spend.

You also have 90 days to return or exchange unworn items. Personalised and engraved pieces cannot be returned unless faulty.

Can I use a discount code on Nomination?

No. Nomination's brand guidelines do not allow discount or voucher codes on Nomination products, so codes will not apply to them at checkout.

How do I look after my Nomination bracelet?

Wipe your bracelet with a soft, dry cloth to keep it bright. Take it off before swimming, bathing or the gym, and put perfume and moisturiser on before your jewellery rather than after.

If a link starts to feel loose or stiff, bring it into any Argento store and our team will take a look.
