Nomination Questions & Answers

Hold the link you want to remove between finger and thumb, hold the link next to it with your other hand, and gently pull the two apart sideways with a slight twisting motion. The hooks on the side of each link unclip — you're separating them sideways, never pulling the bracelet straight apart. To fit the new link, line it up next to its neighbour and press the two together until they click.

Open a small gap by separating two links sideways, then clip the new link into the gap: line the side hooks up with the neighbouring link and squeeze until it snaps home. Add as many as you like — most people build the bracelet up over time, one charm per occasion.

The band is a loop of links held under light tension. To close it, bring the two end links together and squeeze them until they click — exactly the same side-clip action as adding a charm. If it sprang apart while you were changing a link, just re-clip the ends.

Slide the edge of the Nomination link tool (or a coin, teaspoon edge or the cap of a pen) into the small side joint between two links and gently lever them apart sideways. The tool gives leverage without bending the link or marking your nails. Ease it — don't crank it.

There's no traditional clasp — you simply unclip any two links sideways to open the loop, then re-clip to close. That's the whole point of the Composable system: it opens and rebuilds anywhere along the band.

No. Nomination Composable links and Pandora are completely different systems — Nomination links clip flat, side-to-side, to form the bracelet itself; Pandora charms are beads that slide onto a snake chain or bangle. You can't put one on the other. The good news: every Nomination Classic link fits every Nomination Classic bracelet, regardless of when you bought it.

If it's a Classic link (the standard size), yes — the Composable Classic system is universal, so charms bought years apart all clip together. Just check it's a Classic link and not the smaller or different-width ranges.

A standard base bracelet is 17 Classic links (typical ladies fit). To size down, remove links; to size up, add links — the same side-clip action. Larger wrists usually run 18–21 links. You can adjust it yourself at any time.

The base links are surgical stainless steel (hypoallergenic and won't tarnish), and the decorative symbols on the silver charms are 925 sterling silver. So it's a steel bracelet with genuine sterling-silver detailing — confirmed on every product's specification.

The gold Classic charms use 18k gold on the steel base (often with enamel detail) — that's real 18k gold on the symbol, which is why gold charms typically start from around £36. Note a gold-tone base bracelet is gold-coloured plated steel, whereas the gold charms carry actual 18k gold detailing.

The stainless-steel base is hypoallergenic and won't tarnish, making Nomination a good choice for sensitive skin. Keep it dry and wipe after wear to keep the silver, gold and enamel bright.

Nomination is an Italian brand and the original composable-link jewellery maker — made in Italy (country of origin confirmed on every piece). OD's is an authorised Nomination Italy stockist.

Yes — it's well-made Italian jewellery built around a clever, durable link system. The appeal is personalisation: you build a bracelet that tells your own story and keep adding to it for years. Stainless steel + sterling silver + 18k gold detailing is strong value at £25–£42 a charm.

Because it's a gift you can keep giving. Start someone with a base bracelet and one meaningful charm (Mum, Friend, Daughter, a letter or birthstone), then add a charm for each birthday, Christmas or milestone. Our best-sellers are the family and friendship hearts.

Around £53–£60 to begin: a Composable base bracelet is £28 (gold-tone £45) and must be bought with at least one charm, and silver Classic charms start at £25 (gold 18k charms £36–£42). So base + first charm is typically £53–£60, then you build it up over time.
