Your Ultimate Guide to Nomination Charms: How to Change, Add, and Care for Your Bracelet
Welcome to the world of Nomination charms! Whether you’ve just started your collection or are looking to add a new chapter to your story, you’ve probably wondered how to properly change the charms on your bracelet. As St. Helens' trusted local jeweller with a long-established legacy, OD’s Jewellers is here to guide you through the process, ensuring you can personalise your bracelet with confidence and ease.
The beauty of a Nomination charm bracelet lies in its unique spring-loaded mechanism. Each link is designed to hook into the next, allowing you to easily add new charms or rearrange your existing ones to reflect your evolving story.
How to Add a New Nomination Charm
Adding a charm is a straightforward process that becomes second nature with practice. You don’t need any special tools, just your hands and a little patience.
1. Prepare Your Bracelet Hold your bracelet with both hands, with the charm side facing up. Gently stretch the bracelet apart at the point where you want to insert the new charm. The links will expand, revealing the spring mechanism that connects them.
2. Separate the Links Grasp the two links on either side of the open space and carefully unhook them. This separates the bracelet into two parts.
3. Hook the New Charm Take your new charm and, holding it at an angle, hook one side onto the open end of your bracelet. It should slide on easily.
4. Reconnect the Bracelet Now connect the other end of the bracelet to the open side of your new charm, pushing it into place until it clicks securely. Give it a gentle tug to make sure it’s firmly locked.
Tip: If the links feel stiff at first, a Nomination charm tool can make the process easier. You can find these tools, along with a full range of charms, in our St. Helens store.
How to Remove a Nomination Charm
Removing a charm is the reverse of adding one.
1. Locate the Charm Find the charm you want to remove on your bracelet and hold the links on either side of it.
2. Unclip the Charm Gently stretch the two links apart to open the spring mechanism, allowing you to unhook the charm and slide it off.
3. Reconnect the Bracelet Push the two ends of the bracelet back together until they click into place.
The Story Behind Nomination Charms: Italian Craftsmanship & Quality
Nomination charms are more than jewellery – they are a symbol of Italian craftsmanship and innovation. Each charm is handmade in Florence, Italy, using high-quality stainless steel and adorned with accents of 18k gold, 9k rose gold, or sterling silver. Many also feature sparkling cubic zirconia, gemstones, and hand-painted enamel.
The brand’s founder, Paolo Gensini, had a simple but revolutionary idea: to create a precious but accessible bracelet for everyone. Launched in the 1980s, the modular "Composable" bracelet became an international success, blending fine materials with a personal, narrative-driven design.
