Best Charm Bracelets UK 2026
Nomination Composable
The Nomination Composable bracelet is the original modular charm bracelet, made in Florence, Italy since 1987. It uses a flat, stainless steel mesh band with individual links that click in and out, letting you build a bracelet that tells your story — one link at a time.
How It Works
The Composable system starts with a base bracelet — a series of plain stainless steel links. You then swap out individual links for decorated ones. Each link features a specific design: letters, numbers, symbols, birthstones, flags, animals, and more. Links are available in stainless steel, sterling silver, 9ct gold, 18ct gold, and enamel.
Classic Size
The standard Composable bracelet. Fits most wrists. 18 links as standard, with extension links available. This is the most popular size and has the widest range of charm links.
Link Price Range
Individual links start from £5 for basic stainless steel designs and go up to £49+ for 18ct gold, CZ, and enamel pieces. Most popular links sit in the £22–£36 range.
Why Nomination Is Special
- Made in Italy since 1987 — genuine heritage brand
- Over 3,000 link designs available worldwide
- Links use real 18ct and 9ct gold, not gold plating
- Modular system means you can add, remove, and rearrange links as your story evolves
- We stock over 1,000 Nomination items at OD’s Jewellers — one of the largest collections in the North West

ChloBo Charm Bracelets
ChloBo is a British jewellery brand known for its bohemian, spiritually inspired designs. Founded by Chloe Sheridan in 2008, ChloBo bracelets are handmade in Bali using 925 sterling silver and are designed to be stacked, layered, and mixed.
The ChloBo Style
Unlike Nomination’s flat modular system, ChloBo uses traditional beaded and chain bracelets with individual symbolic charms. The Cute Charm collection is their most popular range — delicate ball chains with a single meaningful pendant charm. Stack three, five, or seven of them for the signature ChloBo look.
Key Collections
- Cute Charm: Delicate ball chain bracelets with individual charms — hearts, stars, feathers, elephants, angels. From £72 in silver, £109 in gold plate.
- Mandala & Symbolic: Larger statement charms with spiritual meaning — mandala, dreamcatcher, tree of life. From £95.
- Stacking Sets: Pre-curated sets of 3–5 bracelets designed to be worn together. From £175.
- Men’s Collection: Bolder designs with tiger’s eye beads, anchor chains, and wider silver links. From £49.
Vivienne Westwood
Vivienne Westwood jewellery brings punk-inspired edge to charm and pendant designs. The iconic Orb motif — a blend of a sovereign’s orb and Saturn’s rings — is instantly recognisable and has become one of the most sought-after jewellery symbols in the UK.
Charm & Pendant Style
Vivienne Westwood does not use a traditional modular charm system. Instead, their bracelets and necklaces feature fixed Orb pendants, crystal-encrusted charms, and statement chain designs. The appeal is in the boldness and the brand identity — each piece is a fashion statement in its own right.
- Orb pendants: The signature design, available in platinum, gold, and rose gold plating with crystal detailing
- Chain bracelets: Chunky chains with Orb and toggle clasps
- Price range: From £75 for earrings to £210+ for statement necklaces
Who Is Vivienne Westwood For?
Customers who want bold, recognisable fashion jewellery with attitude. Vivienne Westwood pieces are popular as gifts for fashion-conscious individuals who value brand identity and design heritage. The Orb is one of the most requested jewellery motifs in the UK.
Clogau Charm Collection
Clogau offers a distinctly Welsh take on charm jewellery, combining 925 sterling silver with touches of rare Welsh gold from the Clogau St David’s Gold Mine — the same gold used in Royal wedding rings. Their Insignia and Tree of Life collections include charm bracelets and necklaces with removable charms.
How to Build a Charm Bracelet
Building a charm bracelet is a personal, ongoing project. Here is how to get started with each system:
Nomination Composable
- Start with a base bracelet — choose Classic (standard) size
- Add 3–5 links to begin — a letter initial, a birthstone, and a favourite symbol is a great starting combination
- Build over time — add links for birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, and milestones
- Rearrange as you grow — links click in and out, so you can redesign your bracelet whenever you want
ChloBo Stacking
- Start with 1–2 Cute Charm bracelets — choose charms with personal meaning
- Add one bracelet at a time for birthdays, Christmas, or as self-purchase treats
- Mix silver and gold plate for a layered, bohemian look
- Aim for an odd number — 3, 5, or 7 bracelets looks best when stacked
The Perfect Starter Gift
A Nomination base bracelet with 2–3 meaningful links, or a single ChloBo Cute Charm bracelet, makes an ideal first charm bracelet gift. It gives the recipient something beautiful to wear immediately and something to build upon for years to come.
