The Original Italian Charm System

When Paolo Gensini introduced the Composable® bracelet in 1987, he transformed jewellery from a fixed object into a personalised experience. Starting with 18k gold letters and expanding into themed motifs, the modular system became a global collecting trend throughout the 1990s and early 2000s.

Today, the charm collection spans over 2,500 designs across gold, silver, enamel and gemstone styles – all compatible with the classic stainless steel base bracelet.

Materials & Design Variety

Decorative links use 18k yellow and rose gold, 9k gold, 925 sterling silver, hand-applied enamel, cubic zirconia, gemstones, diamonds and pearls. Each charm undergoes strict quality control in Florence to ensure colour, shine and detail meet the brand’s standards.

Themes include love, luck, travel, family, animals, symbols, numbers, letters, sports, celebrations and seasonal releases.

Collecting, Culture & Modern Revival

The 2023–2024 resurgence – driven by Love Island visibility, TikTok “unboxing” videos and press coverage confirming the comeback – has brought a new generation into the collecting culture. Many customers now build multi-bracelet stacks representing different chapters of their lives.

The brand’s continued growth and new UK monobrand stores highlight its strong cultural relevance.

Care, Fit & Warranty

Charms connect using Nomination’s patented spring mechanism and can be moved, added or removed without tools (though the optional key makes it easier). Avoid water, perfume and chemical exposure to protect plating and enamel. All charms purchased from OD’s include a two-year manufacturer warranty against defects.
