<![CDATA[SeiMia Collection: the perfect gift for Women’s Day]]> https://www.nomination.com/world/blog/seimia-collection-womens-day-gift/

On March 8th we celebrate International Women’s Day: it’s a holiday dedicated to women and their femininity, in all its many forms. There are many accounts about its origins, several of which have turned out to be completely unconnected to International Women’s Day. So what’s the real story?



The origins of Women’s Day: why is it celebrated on March 8th?

The March 8th festivities come from International Worker’s Daywhich was established in 1921 during the 2nd World Congress by communist women in Moscow. This anniversary was used to commemorate the widespread demonstrations which had been organised by women in St. Petersburg on March 8th, 1917, the date recognised universally as the beginning of the February Revolution in Russia.

Before 1921 there were pre-existing celebrations dedicated to women in various countries, but they were held on different dates. All of the holidays in honour of women were, however, connected to the the struggles for women’s voting rights, the affirmation of their worth, and as a reminder of the injustice and violence suffered throughout history. The 1921 Congress helped establish one single date for this holiday in many countries where Women’s Day was celebrated, and little by little it became the official date in more places, in some cases only a few years later, and in others after quite a bit of time had passed.

In any event, 1975 officially became International Women’s Year, as declared by the United Nations: March 8th of that year saw equality between men and women celebrated all over the world.



International Women’s Day today

Women’s Day has lost some of its political and social connotations throughout the years, becoming an occasion for women to take some time for themselves and forget about their errands and responsibilities. It’s an occasion to spend some time and have fun with female friends, who may get overlooked with all the craziness of everyday life.

But one thing is certain: during your evening out with the girls, you’ve got to have the perfect accessory that shows off your personality and who you are. Create it ad hoc with the SeiMia Collection, which has become even richer with new symbols and jewellery like bracelets and single earrings!



Your name necklace

An accessory that’s truly personal is a name necklace: with the SeiMia Collection you can create it using sparkling letters studded with white Zirconia, and add symbols that are all about you.


SeiMIa I love My Family Necklace

In addition to symbols with precious stones, there are new charms you can use to customise your necklace: an engravable plaque, the symbol dedicated to family, small hearts with coloured enamel detailing.

You can also choose your necklace base: from the coloured rope for a long, fashion-forward necklace, to the silver ball chain. Mille combinazioni, per un gioiello veramente tuo!



Hundreds of combinations for jewellery that’s really all about you!

It’s not just necklaces: SeiMia now offers new bases to create your customised silver bracelet! Choose your favourite bracelet: the semi rigid version with plenty of space for your charms, the version made up of little silver balls, or the more minimalist chain version?


The bracelets can be embellished with all of the charms in the collection: letters to spell out your initials or the initials of someone you love, but also pendants dedicated to family or to friends, and all sorts of other decorative charms.

SeiMIa Bracelet with letter S

A single earring for a look that’s full of style

This latest accessory from the SeiMia Collection is dedicated to anyone who loves to be daring: the customisable single earring! You can add charms with letters or symbols to this circular hoop for a bold, carefree look. Pair it with a small stud earring in your other ear.



Gift ideas for Women’s Day

International Women’s Day is also an opportunity to surprise your girlfriend with a special gift.


SeiMIa Necklace with Him&Her Heart

Traditionally on March 8th men give small bouquets of mimosa to women they care about: not just to their wives or girlfriends, but also to their moms and close female friends.

But why mimosa? There are several reasons as to why this flower has become the symbol for Women’s Day: mimosas bloom during the month of March and they’re inexpensive and easy to get so everyone can give them to the women in their lives. Some people also talk about a correlation between this flower and womanhood: although they appear fragile, mimosas withstand cold winter temperatures and bloom in March, even in harsh terrains, not unlike women who’ve had to, and who often still have to fight to establish themselves in the world!

In addition to the traditional mimosas, your girlfriend also deserves a more precious gift, like personalised jewellery! Discover all the latest jewellery and charms from Nomination’s SeiMia Collection and create a customised accessory to give to your better half in celebration of Women’s Day!

<![CDATA[Carnival 2019 in Italy: where to go for the best events]]> https://www.nomination.com/world/blog/carnival-2019-italy/

The funnest time of year is nearly here, the craziest and most colourful party is about to start: it’s time to bring out the costumes, masks and make-up because it’s Carnival, the perfect excuse to dress up for a few hours as your favourite character or celebrity!

Carnival is celebrated pretty much all over the world and follows a multitude of traditions, although the main theme remains the same: fun. Italy is one of the countries where Carnival is a big deal, and it’s celebrated in several cities with big parties and parades. Three of these cities are among the most highly revered for the size and grandeur of their Carnivals: Venice, Viareggio and Ivrea, where they have big, colourful parades that attract tourists from all over.

So how will you spend your Carnival? If you still haven’t decided how to celebrate during the funnest time of the year, we’re here to share with you the most interesting aspects of the three biggest parties in Italy: just a few suggestions for how to spend your Carnival 2019!


Double Link Composable Classic No Drama

Whatever you choose, don’t forget to have fun: the colourful No Drama Link with its playful llama will remind you to have fun all Carnival long!

The Carnival of Venice

The Carnival of Venice is one of the most famous celebrations in the world. This year the festivities start on February 16th, even though Carnival officially starts with the traditional "Flight of the Angel": so just what is it? At noon on the first Sunday of Carnival, an acrobat dressed as the Angel flies down from the bell tower in St. Mark’s Square: it’s an historic tradition that’s been kept alive since the second half of the sixteenth century.

Perhaps even more impressive, there are even earlier accounts of the Carnival of Venice which date back as far as 1094. Celebrations go on in the streets and alleys of Venice for more than two weeks, where you can see – and even wear – the amazing Venetian masks and costumes.

Venice is the city with the most enchanting Carnival, but it’s also the city of lovers: it’s the best place for a quick vacation with your better half. How will you remember your Carnival in Venice?


With the Love Double Link in rose gold to add to your magical Composable bracelet. Or go with the silver Double Link with heart pendant: you can engrave it with a special memory that belongs to just the two of you!

Double Link Composable Classic Red Heart

The Carnival of Viareggio

The Carnival of Viareggio is also one of the most popular in Italy, although its origins are more recent than Venice’s since the first documented parades for this event go back to 1873. What’s so special about the Carnival of Viareggio? The gigantic paper-mache parade floats covering a wide array of themes: some take on politics and current events with an ironic tone, while others find inspiration in fantasy and create these amazing mobile scenes.

In addition to the huge daytime parade floats, there are the evening parades within each neighbourhood: these consist of simpler, non professional floats, street parties and parading in masks and costumes.


Composable Classic Link Glitter Unicorn

The Carnival of Viareggio is the perfect occasion to dress up as anyone you want: a beautiful mermaid, a playful unicorn or a a magical fairy? The options for becoming your favourite fairytale character are endless!

The Carnival of Ivrea

The Carnival of Ivrea is also one of the oldest and most well-known in Italy, and it stands out thanks to its traditional festivities which you can only find in this Turinese city. Here Carnival is a mix of legends, history and fun,which all come together in the most unique event of the Carnival period the Battle of the Oranges.. So what’s it all about? During the three days between Sunday and Shrove Tuesday in the main streets and squares of the city a battle is played out which attracts thousands of tourists each year, along with a lot of media attention.

During the battle huge horse-drawn carriages parade through the city carrying the team of “aranceri" (orange throwers), who launch oranges at the mob accompanying the parade through the city. The orange throwers wear unique padded costumes and protective masks to shield them from the hits pitched by the teams following the carriages. These teams throw and get hit by flying oranges, but they don’t wear protective gear: their costumes are made up of colourful tunics with little bells on their shoes. What’s their goal? To attack the carriages with oranges.


Ivrea’s version is a very unique, one-of-a-kind Carnival for the person looking for a few days of craziness. And just remember: The best is yet to come, as the saying goes on our Composable Double Link in gold you can add to your customised bracelet.

<![CDATA[Living Coral is the Pantone colour of 2019]]> https://www.nomination.com/world/blog/living-coral-pantone-colour-2019/

As they do each year, Pantone, the absolute authority in the world of colour, has announced the shade for 2019: Living Coral, a dynamic and energetic hue, perfect for brightening up your looks during the spring and summer months, which aren’t that far away.

This unique version of pink coral will rejuvenate and modernise classic outfits, and can also be combined with contrasting shades for a bolder effect that’s great for parties and summer cocktails.

Not sure where to begin? We’ve got 4 tips for how to choose the Living Coral look that’s right for you: chic, romantic, vivacious or punk? The choice is yours, and whatever you choose, don’t forget the accessories: the right jewellery can transform a look from plain to glamorous all in one go.



#1 Pantone’s Living Coral in an outfit that’s chic

Yes, it’s vibrant, but it’s also perfect for a classy chic look for important work events, or for elegant occasions this spring. How should you wear Pantone’s Living Coral to create an effect that’s super chic? In a total look!

Imagine a Living Coral tailored suit with cigarette trousers and a men’s cut blazer, paired with matching pointy stiletto pumps: it’s a look that certainly won’t go unnoticed, but it still maintains its professionalism. A bold step forward!


Composable watch in rose gold

What jewellery can be worn with an outfit like this? Let’s stick with pink hues: choose a classic tone-on-tone accessory like a watch, which can be customised with Composable Links just the way you want depending on the occasion.

#2 A romantic look for the 2019 Pantone colour

A warm hue like Living Coral is also perfect for your more romantic looks: the tulle skirt, which has been very on trend these last few seasons, turns this shade of pink coral and becomes a fluffy pouf to pair with a satin top or a denim shirt for a modern, stylish outfit you can wear in your free time. When combining the skirt with denim, we suggest wearing knee-high boots.


As for the accessories? You won’t go wrong by layering yellow and rose gold bracelets together: choose choose a romantic bracelet with pearls and floral details and combine it with a more minimalist bracelet that’s all pink.

Composable Bracelet La vie en rose

#3 Dare with Living Coral: the Pantone 2019 colour for a bold look

How do you create a Living Coral outfit that’s really bold? Go with a look that’s made up of maxi volumes and different colours One of the biggest trends this Spring-Summer is volume: this trend finds its inspiration in oversized clothing and 1980s’ structured shoulders worn to the max.


Earrings Collection

Volume, fullness and a mix of bright colours: these are absolute musts for this season’s boldest looks. Just which colours can you combine with Living Coral? Definitely with vibrant and intense yellow, but also with turquoise and orange for a look that’s sure to get noticed.

For maxi volumes, go with mini earrings: choose your favourite contrasting colour from among the many options in our Earrings collection.



#4 Pink is Punk, like Pantone’s pink coral

Who would’ve thought that a shade as warm as Living Coral could ever become the basis for a punk-inspired look? And yet, it’s totally possible to create an eccentric and fierce look using this tonality, as was proven in several Spring-Summer runway shows, such as the one presented by Prada.

The high-waisted miniskirt is the Living Coral piece for a punk look, and should be paired with a top that has a print in contrasting colours like black and yellow. A black leather belt and matching statement clutch are of course musts. To complete the look, go with a headband that matches the top, red pointy high heels and sheer or fishnet knee-high stockings. Use this as a source of inspiration for how to wear Living Coral in a creative way, for example at a party with friends.

To complete the look, a necklace with a personalised message: spell out your name or motto for a fun, playful look!

<![CDATA[Chinese New Year 2019: it’s the Year of the Pig]]> https://www.nomination.com/world/blog/chinese-new-year-2019/

The Chinese New Year is almost here: this year it falls on February 5th, the day in which, according to the Chinese calendar, the new year begins, the Year of the Pig. The Chinese horoscope is based, in fact, on a 12-year cycle, each year corresponding to an animal: in contrast to what happens with the horoscope we’re accustomed to, your zodiac sign is determined by the year in which you were born.


Composable Classic Link China Flag

2019 is the Year of the Pig, the zodiac sign which ends the cycle: what will it bring this new year? What does the pig stand for in the Chinese horoscope? And how do they celebrate New Year’s in China? Let’s find out!

The Year of the Pig: what this animal means in the Chinese zodiac

Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Pig: the 12 animals of the Chinese zodiac represent those which are part of people’s daily activities or those which in traditional Chinese culture have important symbolic significance.

Many of the animals in the Chinese horoscope are domestic and have been raised for centuries by the Chinese people, and they represent the importance of the home and wealth: the pig is one such animal, but in addition there’s the horse, the sheep, the rooster, the ox and the dog.


The other animals of the Chinese horoscope represent traditional symbols in the Chinese culture: the dragon is a symbol of good fortune and power; the monkey represents intelligence and cunning; the tiger represents courage, intuition and self-confidence.

Composable Classic Link Gold Dragon

But what’s the reason behind the order in which the Chinese zodiac animals alternate? There’s a very precise balance determined by the alternating Yin and Yang which ancient Chinese philosophy explains as the juxtaposition of elements, forces and natural phenomena. The name of this revered symbol contains the two definitions within itself: Yinthe shady side of the hill, and Yang, the sunny side of the hill, two opposite aspects forming one whole and which represent a balance which can be used to explain any force which has two equal but contrary elements.

But let’s get back to 2019, the Year of the Pig: what does this animal symbolise and what traits do people who were born under this sign have? According to the Chinese horoscope the pig is a generous, loving, compassionate, and diligent animal. People born in the Year of the Pig willingly help their fellow man, usually remain calm in the face of difficulty and are very responsible.

But watch out: even though 2019 is the Year of the Pig, contrary to what you’d think, this will not be a very lucky period for those born under this sign. In fact, in Chinese astrology the year of one’s sign is unlucky because it offends the God of Age known as Tai Sui. Who would’ve ever guessed?

Those born in the Year of the Pig need to be careful and remain patient in the face of the difficulties which are coming for them in 2019. But who’s born under this sign? All those born in the following years: 1925, 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995 and 2007, because it only happens once every 12 years. A good luck charm could help bring a bit of good fortune to you during the year: pick your favourite and add it to your Composable bracelet!



How is the Chinese New Year celebrated?

Let’s focus on the festivities: the Chinese New Year is a huge event full of colours, fun and tradition. In China the actual name of this holiday is the Spring Festival or the Lunar New Year and it signals the beginning of the new year according to the Chinese calendar. It’s a holiday which is actually celebrated in various countries in the Far East, and the tradition has also been imported all over the world wherever large Chinese communities have taken root.

The Chinese New Year is very different from the one celebrated in the Western world: just consider that the festivities last a full two weeks!

Customarily, it’s tradition to dedicate your time to cleaning and sprucing up your house in the days leading up to New Year’s, a gesture which symbolises “sweeping away bad luck”. The proper celebrations begin on New Year’s eve, so this year they start on February 4th: tradition has it that that evening everyone organises an abundant feast to be shared among the whole family.

The house decorations and those in the city streets are also extremely important: lanterns and traditional objects cover the streets, with red everywhere. In fact, this shade brings prosperity and good luck, and it should be worn during this period.

The first day of the year, which in 2019 is the 5th of February, the big celebrations begin, among which is the traditional lion dance , during which performers parade throughout the city in a long lion’s costume, while in the evening there are performances and fireworks which liven up the festivities. The days following are dedicated to family: you spend time together at home and go visit parents and relatives who live elsewhere.

The Chinese New Year’s festivities end on the fifteenth day after New Year’s, which is dedicated to the traditional Lantern Festival. Candles are lit outside each house to attract spirits bringing good fortune, and in the evening families come out of their homes to take a stroll in the dark while carrying a lit lantern. Naturally, this final day of celebration is certainly not without fireworks and performances, like the lion and dragon dances.

Are you ready to jump in and celebrate the fascinating tradition of the Chinese New Year?

<![CDATA[Valentine’s Day: 5 Looks and the perfect jewellery to tie them together]]> https://www.nomination.com/world/blog/5-valentines-day-looks_jewellery/

Valentine’s Day is almost here and now you have got to lock down all the details to make sure the evening is just right. How will you celebrate with your other half? An intimate, candle-lit dinner at home or a night out at a chic restaurant? In any case, on an evening like this everything has to be perfect and nothing left to chance, starting with what you wear. So, have you already decided what to wear on your Valentine’s Day evening?

You are still in time to plan the perfect outfit to take your partner’s breath away. So what should you wear on Valentine’s Day? We have got 5 ideas for the perfect outfit complete with accessories and jewellery so you will be sure to shine all night long. Now all you have to do is pick your favorite and get ready for a magical Valentine’s Day!



Look #1 - A Retro 50s Valentine’s Day

A romantic Valentine’s Day reminds us of times past and sometimes with a touch of nostalgia. If that idea inspires you then choose an outfit with a retro 50s touch that is both romantic and original.

A colourful fitted dress with a full circle skirt is perfect for a romantic Valentine’s Day. Or if separates are more your thing, go for another 50s option by pairing a full circle skirt paired with a top with puff sleeves and some sparkly detailing in pearls or gemstones.


Earrings with gemstones

Finish off a retro look with romantic and discreet Valentine’s Day jewellery to add a small touch of sparkle that will tie your outfit together, like heart-shaped earrings with coloured Cubic Zirconia.

Look #2 - Sensuous and On Trend: The slip dress

The slip dress has been a Must Have on the runway over the last few seasons and will continue to reign on through 2019. The slip dress is a favourite for its versatility. Simple and easy to top off with shoes, jackets and accessories, you can find one from almost every brand.

If you love minimalism, choose a slip-dress in lustrous, smooth black satin for an elegant refined evening. If instead you want something more original, choose a coloured one. If details are your thing, pick a slip dress with lace and sequins and you will surely stand out. Pick a longer version if you want a sensual look without showing too much skin.

To make the most of the versatility of a slip dress pick accessories that you love.


Match the dress with a necklace to highlight the low neckline and personalise for Valentine’s Day. Choose the SeiMia Collection and create your dream necklace for romance with our configurator: It is fun and easy!

SeiMia Collection

Look #3 - Fairy Tale Romance for Valentine’s Day

Is your idea of Valentine’s Day straight out of a fairy tale? We have got a number of ideas for you to create an outfit that will make you feel like a princess so you can celebrate a truly magical Valentine’s Day. Live your modern fairy-tale love story with the perfect look to go with it, in pastels, like pink in all of its hues and shades, sky blue and lilac.

And what is more romantic than tulle and satin? Choose tulle in a full skirt and match it with a satin blouse with a full bow at the neck or some kind of feminine detail to make you feel elegant. But what jewellery to wear with this outfit?


Extension Ring

For short or no sleeves, choose a blingy bracelet that will get noticed with precious stones that reflect the same colours of your outfit. If you choose something with long sleeves, a striking, luminous ring is a Must Have, once again with splendid natural coloured stones that pick up the hues in your outfit.

Look #4 - The Timeless Red Dress

In our list of the Top 5 Best Looks for Valentine’s Day we could not leave out the timeless long red dress. Elegant, Sensual, refined, this dress embodies this holiday and is just the thing to wear to ta chic restaurant for a romantic dinner. The red dress, however, need not be formal. You can choose a kimono style with a belted waist or a long shirtdress, both perfect for a romantic evening at home.


And what colour combination is more elegant and chic together than red and gold? Choose minimal jewellery with a romantic touch to set off your red dress, like the Trendsetter bracelet with hearts.

Stainless steel heart bracelet

Look #5 - A Colourful, Original Valentine’s Day

Who says that you can only wear red or pink on Valentine’s Day? Be as original and outrageous as you want, and choose a look that best suits you even on a day that is as romantic as this.

Do you need an idea for a Valentine’s Day look that is original and fun? Choose an elegant dress but in an eye-catching colour to brighten things up, like emerald green, perfect for a chic evening with some character. What jewellery should you match it with? A classic like a necklace with pearls is perfect; choose black pearls if you are feeling a little daring.

So what if you want to wear separates? Go for a classic in the world of womenswear: The colourful pleated skirt can be matched with a printed t-shirt and leather jacket.


Classic Composable Bracelet with unicorn pendant

So what should you top off this outfit with? The one and only choice is jewellery that is as unique as you are, a Composable bracelet with the pendant “Unique like a Unicorn”.

Alvy is a successful comic, Annie a flighty, quirky girl with undiscovered singing talent. They come from different worlds and each brings their own baggage and obsessions that make their relationship a bumpy one. Alvy narrates a story of their relationship, by this time at its end; the story goes beyond the relationship and is also a meditation on deeper, universal themes like life and death.

Romantic and funny at the same time, Annie Hall is a perfect film to watch as a couple even if at the beginning of the film we already know that the relationship is over. Because this love story during the course of the film becomes a comedy and is rewritten, this time with a different finale..

Make sure your jewellery matches your choice: sparkling, glittering and noticeable. Go for the all gold and glitter bracelet to highlight your velvet look in the season’s Must Have colours: Bordeaux, Petroleum Green or Classic Black.

If you prefer something with silver and classic white Cubic Zirconia then your New Years jewellery should include an iconic necklace with your name in letters, with extra shining symbols added on to make you the brightest star of the night.



New Years Eve in the Mountains: Choose Total Chic

What if you prefer snow over a night out at the club for New Years Eve? Winter sports during the day and relax and good food in the evening? A New Years Eve in the mountains will fly by so keep the time on a memorable evening with a chic watch and you’ll be sure not miss a second of the countdown to midnight.

Of course you will need to dress warmly and comfortably but with style! All-over plaid can be a fashionable choice, that works for such special evening and keeps you warm.

Composable Classic Bracelet My Angel rose gold

If New Years Eve in the mountain is your thing make a keepsake in a bracelet with all the unforgettable days dedicated to sport and fun, also a good choice for Him.



New Years Eve at Home: An outfit for a Night in with Friends

You don’t have to party all night at the club or jet off to the other side of the world to have a wonderful New Years Eve. And no night is complete without good friends, family or someone you love.

That’s why many choose to celebrate New Years Eve at home with with friends. Whether it is finger food or a four-course meal, the important thing is to be with those who are special to you at midnight.

No need to be wearing your killer heels. Choose a simple dress in one of the 2018 holiday season colours: red, gold, silver or classic black and you will look effortlessly elegant.

<![CDATA[Little Christmas gifts for special colleagues]]> https://www.nomination.com/world/blog/little-christmas-gifts-collegues/

Christmas is just over one month away: have you already purchased Christmas gifts for those who are important to you? Between preparing for the festivities and planning your holidays, there isn’t much time left to think of all the gifts you need to buy for friends and relatives. But take care not to forget anyone from your list of Christmas presents: have you thought of what to buy your colleagues yet?

With our colleagues, we share the joys and pain of everyday life: a little gift is in certainly order for all those who support us every day, and sometimes help us in our work. And there’s no need to spend a fortune: a little token is enough, maybe something with meaning for the person receiving and the person giving it.

We have put together a selection of jewellery pieces that are perfect for gifting to colleagues: tanti regali di Natale sotto i 50 euro, all bearing the Nomination signature, to dedicate to her and to him.



Christmas gifts for female colleagues under 50 euro

What should we gift to a colleague who has been by our side through many long working days? There are plenty of options.


Wishes Bracelet with friendship pendant

Above all, let’s think of our relationship with them: after sharing everything with them for many hours every day, they are no longer simply colleagues, but real friends. So this Christmas, why not gift them a symbol of your friendship?

The Wishes bracelet with a dedicated pendant is a piece of jewellery that comes with a small price tag, perfect for a colleague whom we couldn’t do without.


Another sweet idea for telling a colleague how important they are to us is to gift a piece of personalised jewellery just for her.

Composable Double Link with Snowflake

You might think that personalised jewellery always comes with a hefty price tag, but this isn’t the case: a personalised engraving on the Nomination Double Link with snowflake, is a little token with a small price, to surprise someone who is special to us.

To ensure that you don’t go wrong, choose a perfect piece of jewellery to be worn at any time of day: such as a steel ring with stone and gold detailing, for example, which is subtle and elegant at the same time, and can be worn by both sportier girls as well as women of class.


Christmas presents for every kind of colleague: the eccentric and the hopeless romantic

We all have a colleague who is a little off-beat: striking in their clothing and fashion, they always manage to downplay everything and bring a smile to everyone’s face, even during the most stressful days. Could you do without her? Probably not - so why not tell her this with a gift chosen especially for her: the Composable bracelet with a pendant symbol that reads “unique like a unicorn”.

For a colleague who is a romantic and a dreamer, ready to spread serenity and hopes wherever she goes, the perfect Christmas gift must surely be our Gioie Bracelet, decorated with a beating heart of Cubic Zirconia and an engravable plaque, upon which you can compose a unique and personalised message.



Christmas gifts for male colleagues: gifts below 50 euro

Now let’s turn to our male colleagues: what should we give to a work colleague who makes us smile every day, making our days a little less laborious? What are the perfect gifts for wishing them the best Christmas imaginable?


Composable classic bracelet with friendship

For men, too, we can find jewellery pieces to let them know that they are more friends than colleagues: the Composable Classic bracelet with Friendship text an accessory symbolising everlasting friendship, is the perfect way to do this.

There are also options for jewellery with a personalised engraving: for him, too: our suggestion is the Trendsetter bracelet decorated with the anchor which can be engraved with a personalised message on the reverse. For a truly personal wish, for someone who has, over time, become a true friend and someone you can always rely on.

Trendsetter bracelet with boat wheel

A gift for every kind of colleague: the rocker, the traveller, the businessman

For the colleague who loves accessories with a strong character, but above all rock music, the perfect gift is a bracelet that will never go unnoticed, has a strong soul and can be paired with all outfits that are casual but never without style: the Bond Streetstyle edition bracelet

Everyone loves long holidays and journeys towards unknown destinations that are waiting to be discovered: the Composable Travel Double Link, it is perfect as a Christmas gift for someone whose professionalism we admire.

Our final suggestion for a gift for a colleague: the round Class keyring enhanced with a diamond. An accessory that combines style and functionality.

<![CDATA[The best books of 2018]]> https://www.nomination.com/world/blog/best-books-2018/

Reading is one of the small pleasures of daily life. This is a moment to dedicate completely to yourself, immersing yourself in a new world where everything is waiting to be discovered, through the sheer power of words. This is why books are a great present to give and receive: they allow us to exchange stories, tales, and adventures, which give us new emotional experiences.

But which are the must-reads of 2018? With a plethora of compelling novels, crime mysteries waiting to be solved and thrillers that will leave you breathless, the year that is coming to an end has given us many unmissable gems. Among the books we recommend, many are perfect as a Christmas present: this year, let us suggest a new way of gifting a book to someone who is important to you.

How? By pairing it with the perfect Composable Link for every story. Here is a list of the best books of 2018, suggested together with the Nomination tile that best symbolises them.

#1 The Thriller: Tokyo Express by Seicho Matsumoto

One of the best thrillers of 2018 is Tokyo Express, a novel originally completed by Seicho Matsumoto in 1958 and republished 60 years later, to great acclaim. An initial and apparent suicide of love reveals the machinations of a mind that is as ingenious as it is evil, as the investigations of the two protagonist investigators of the novel show. This is not your typical thriller: at the conclusion of events, what emerges is a real social study of Japan.


Composable Classic Link heart with black stone

Our precious Link with the black heart perfectly symbolises a passion for crime novels: it is elegant and bright, despite its dark soul.

#2 The crime novel: This Night’s Foul Work by Fred Vargas

The bite of a spider, a species known as “the recluse”, is the cause of death of three elderly men in the south of France. The case seems closed, but Commissioner Adamsberg is not convinced. There is something else behind these apparent fatalities... This crime novel is hazy, captivating, intricate – perfect for devouring during a lazy autumnal afternoon.

When we dive into a crime novel, we turn into investigators ourselves, trying to follow the clues we are given to arrive at the solution even before the novel does.


Following every clue is essential for all good detectives, but we mustn’t forget our compass, which will guide us through every choice with common sense.

Composable Classic Link Compass

#3 The period novel: At the Wolf's Table by Rosella Postorino

Inspired by a true story, this novel follows the tale of Margot Wölk, Hitler’s taster in the Krausendorf barracks. Through the voice of Rosa Sauer, the protagonist, the writer sets out to investigate investigate the imprisonment and desires of a woman of the time, in all her facets, between the power relationships and solidarity that characterise life.

Courage is the virtue that drives her forwards, even when she finds herself facing difficulties, whether visible or latent. The charm that is the perfect companion to this latest novel by Rosella Postorino is without doubt the medallion and the lion that inspires us never to give up.

#4 The classic: An Odyssey: A Father, a Son, and an Epic by Daniel Mendelsohn

“A father, a son, an epic” is the subtitle of this novel, which is both eclectic and moving, and looks to a timeless classic of literature, reinterpreting it and bringing it into the present. A journey that investigates the relationship between father and son, rich in reflections and inspirations.

A great gift for a father, to be paired with one of the great Composable classics: the Bracelet with Dad in italics, to surprise him with a personal gift beneath the Christmas tree.

#5 A cross-section of society: Il sogno della macchina da cucire by Bianca Pitzorno

This novel tells the story of women at the end of the Nineteenth Century, of all ages and from every social strata. It is narrated by the seamstress, who tells of all the women she meets during her working days going from house to house. This book is more relevant today than ever and succeeds in talking about women today and their dreams.

The dreams of women should always be realised, whether they concern rights, work or respect. The first step to achieving them?


Composable Unicorn Pendant

Belief – as the protagonist of this novel teaches us. Belief, as the charm to pair with this book says dedicated to a woman full of dreams to achieve.

#6 A feminine novel: Töchter einer neuen Zeit (Daughters of a new Time) by Carmen Korn

One of the most recent releases from 2018 is the historic novel Daughters of a New Time, the first chapter in a feminine trilogy designed by Carmen Korn, who is a German writer and journalist. With this text, she tells the story of the city in which she lives, Hamburg, through the stories of four women born in the early Twentieth Century covering their whole lives, in a world that gradually transforms before their eyes.

This novel is also perfect as a gift for a special woman and in particular for a young woman taking her first steps in discovering the world. The jewellery to pair with it? A precious piece that brings good luck: the Angel in Rose Gold and Green Hope Stone.

#7 The sci-fi novel: How to Stop Time by Matt Haig

Those who love sci-fican’t miss the novel How to Stop Time by English writer and journalist Matt Haig. This is a story that investigates the concept of time, so mysterious and fascinating, through the story of a man destined to age very slowly, while the lives of all others around him pass at different rhythms. Continuous changes of identity, loss of affection and love, regrets and wonders: an emotional novel, it encourages us to reflect on the course of life itself.

Would you like to be immortal too, just like the protagonist of this sci-fi novel?


In the meantime, one thing that can immortalise us is a message for the person who will find this book beneath the Christmas tree, together with the engravable Double Composable Link with an Infinity symbol.

Double Link Composable Infinity Simbol

<![CDATA[10 women who changed history to celebrate the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women ]]> https://www.nomination.com/world/blog/10-women-day-elimination-violence-against-women/

Women have revolutionised the world, whether they have been noticed or not. Strength, tenacity, intelligence and plenty of talent are abilities that, over time, have led women to win many battles to reach their goals.

November 25th is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women: let’s prepare for this event by remembering 10 female personalities who changed the course of history in a variety of areas.

#1 Simone de Beauvoir

This French philosopher did not like being labelled a feminist, but she can certainly be considered a forerunner to feminism – as well as being a fundamental figure in the struggles and demonstrations of the movement. With her essays and her provocative articles in the magazines of the time, Simone De Beauvoir drew attention to the role of women in twentieth-century society claiming freedom and independence for the female sex in all areas, and an end to discrimination in comparison to men.


Wishes Unicorn Pendant

What could be more appropriate than to dedicate our Composable Link featuring the Excellence pendant to Marie Curie? It stands for those who reach great heights through sheer force of will.

#2 Marie Curie

The first woman to teach at the prestigious Sorbonne University in Paris, Marie Curie was a fundamental figure in the fields of physics and chemistry, concentrating in particular on radioactive substances. Her studies led her to discover new radioactive elements – polonium and radium – but at the price of her life, leading to her death in 1934. She had many exceptional victories, such as two Nobel Prizes, which she won for her research in two different fields: in 1903 she won the award for physics, while in 1911 she received the award for chemistry.

What could be more appropriate than to dedicate our Composable Link featuring the Excellence pendant to Marie Curie? It stands for those who reach great heights through sheer force of will.

#3 Patti Smith

Let’s turn to a completely different world: the world of rock music, celebrating Patti Smith, who has inspired generations and generations of young people and musicians all over the world, with her words. She joined the movement that was, at the time, known as proto-punk, uniting punchy sounds with profound lyrics: hers was a revolutionary approach, even for the rock music of the seventies, which gained her nicknames such as the ‘Poetess of Punk’ or the ‘High Priestess of Rock’.


To Patti Smith, as a profound and delicate spirit who is simultaneously a provocateur and rock goddess, we dedicate the Composable Link featuring the Angel of Rock: a great idea for a new nickname for the divine Patti Smith.

Composable Link rock Angel

#4 Rosa Parks

An American civil rights activist, Rosa Parks dedicated her life to the struggle against racial discrimination. During the 1950s, she was the protagonist of a small act that gave life to a whole series of popular demonstrations by the Afro-American community in the city of Montgomery: the renowned city bus boycott, an action that was led by Martin Luther King.

The demonstration arose following Rosa Parks’ refusal to give up her seat on the bus to a white passenger, a gesture that saw her taken to prison in 1955. The following year, her case was brought to the Supreme Court of the United States, which decreed that segregation on public transport in Alabama was unconstitutional.

The activist became a true icon of the civil rights movement: she was a strong woman with a pure heart, and to her we dedicate our precious Link with a multi-faceted red stone, as a symbol of passion.

#5 Coco Chanel

Everybody knows the house of Chanel, which remains a renowned haute couture company even today. Behind the foundation of this French fashion house was a young 26 year-old who, was ready to revolutionise the concepts of femininity and fashion: Coco Chanel, who, in 1909, embarked upon her journey. Her greatest successes, and the coronation of the young Coco, took place during the 1920s, after the First World War.

It was during this period that the designer launched what would become the trademark of her creations – the garçonne style: tailoring, suits and hairstyles inspired by what had, until then, exclusively been part of the masculine universe, reworked with a touch of femininity. This was a true renaissance, which influenced fashion for years to come.


Composable Watch in rose gold

Together with chic and professional tailoring, we can’t forget the watch: often considered the accessory par excellence for the man of class, it can become incredibly feminine with a precious rose gold finish.

#6 Rita Levi-Montalcini

A neurologist and academic, Rita Levi-Montalcini became renowned for her discovery of nerve growth factor. Thanks to this discovery, she was awarded the Nobel Prize for medicine in 1986. Among her other recognitions, we can’t forget that she was also the first woman to be admitted to the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, as well as being nominated as a Senator for Life for her activities in the scientific and social fields.

A life dedicated to research: the key to progress in every field. The Composable bracelet that we dedicate to this strong and wise woman is the Double Link Life.



#7 Mother Teresa of Calcutta

A life spent in poverty, entirely dedicated to charity. Mother Teresa of Calcutta is recognized as one of the strongest women in history, who possessed plenty of passion and faith to care for those in need. Her charitable actions and the help she offered to the poor people of the city of Calcutta led to her winning the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979. n 2003 she was canonised.


Charity, faith and hope help us to triumph, even in the most difficult situations: the Wishes pendant to be added to a customised necklace or bracelet, reminds us of the importance of these values.

Wishes Pendant Charity

#8 Joan of Arc

Today a symbol freedom and justice, Joan of Arc is among the most important women in French history. During the Hundred Years War, with her shrewdness, she managed to convince Prince Charles of Valois that she had been named by God as the person who should lead France to victory over the English, persuading him to entrust her with the task of leading the French armies into battle. Thanks to this act, she managed to conquer certain lands that had fallen into the hands of the English.

Unfortunately, however, her life afterwards was not a happy one: at 19 years of age she was captured and declared a heretic, for which she was burned at the stake. Her memory continues to be celebrated in popular culture, and she has become a true national heroine in France.

A piece of jewellery to carry your own values with you at all times: with the SeiMia necklace, you can compose a message cthat represents the passion and strength of all women.

#9 Malala Yousafzai

Extremely young, yet strong: Malala Yousafzai fights for education for women – to which the women of her city of origin, in Pakistan, have no access, due to an edict of the Taliban. At 17 years of age, her passionate struggle won her the Nobel Peace Prize, and she became the youngest winner of this respected recognition.

A symbol of hope, accompanied by a message engraved in silver: the engravable Link with a sparkling four-leaf clover is the jewellery that we dedicate to all women who fight their battle with strength and passion.

#10 Valentina Tereškova

On June 6th 1963, Valentina Tereškova embarked upon her journey into space: as the first woman to become an astronaut, this date marked an important milestone for all women.

A journey into space, a dream come true: the Trendsetter bracelet featuring an array of stars, is a piece of jewellery that will encourage all women to realise their own dreams, always.

Ten extraordinary women, just like you. On November 25th we celebrate the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women. At Nomination, we are taking part in the “Dragonfly Project”, alongside many other companies, to promote a culture of respect and equality – factors that are fundamental in combating violence against women. You, too, can support our cause by purchasing the Composable Bracelet with the red dragonfly: because a little contribution from each of us can, little by little, change the world.

<![CDATA[How do you wear a name necklace?]]> https://www.nomination.com/world/blog/name-necklace/

Everybody wants one, nobody should be without it: the must-have jewellery of the moment is without a doubt the name necklace which can be worn alone on any occasion or paired with other necklaces. A trend that’s exploding on social media among celebrities and which is taking centre stage in pictures they post of their everyday looks is the name necklace.



A bit of history: when did necklaces with letters start appearing in fashion?

Where does this trend come from? Like many things in fashion, it’s not a new fad In the ‘80s a lot of rappers where already showing off these magnificent pieces as part of their street style: not just cultural and political symbols they used to express their point of view, but necklaces with their name or initials were also a part of their look.

If at the end of the ‘90s name necklaces were tied to rap and hip hop subcultures, their intro into mainstream took place when we saw it worn by the woman who will forever be known in our collective memory as a true icon of fashion: Carrie Bradshaw of Sex and the City. This character portrayed by Sarah Jessica Parker almost never went anywhere without it and each season her Carrie necklace became more and more popular and beloved by generations of women.



How to wear your name necklace like Sex and the City’s Carrie Bradshaw

Now that, nearly 20 years later, the name necklace is fashionable once again, all that’s left is to ask ourselves: what’s the best way to wear it? During Sex and the City’s six seasons we saw main character Carrie Bradshaw wear hers with numerous looks: eclectic, outrageous and always super chic, but most importantly, they were all looks worth imitating.

Carrie wore her name necklace in many different ways: looking for some ideas? For a daytime look, this short necklace can be worn over a basic t-shirt with a round neck or with a blouse, leaving the top two buttons undone. For an evening out or a chic cocktail with friends, it’s a great accessory to add to a slip dress, all ‘90s style with thin spaghetti straps, which has also become trendy once again in these last few seasons.


SeiMia Collection

Your name necklace gets even chicer if you create it using the sparkling letters from Nomination’s SeiMia Collection: each letter of the alphabet is crafted in silver and is studded with Cubic Zirconia, so you shine bright on every occasion.

Choose the letters that spell out your name and create your personalised necklace with the SeiMia configurator: drag and drop the letters along the chain and immediately see online how your necklace will look!



How to revisit Chiara Ferragni’s necklace style

It’s certainly not a coincidence that the name necklace has burst onto the fashion scene this season. Thanks to super influencer Chiara Ferragni wearing – and posting it onto social media – a customised chain necklace for her bachelorette party, this major fashion trend is back.

However, in her case the necklace actually contained a phrase and not her name: Bride to be. The necklaces she gave to her friends at the bachelorette party contained their names and nicknames. Chiara’s is a great idea worth copying for you and your girlfriends.

With the pendants from the SeiMia Collection not only can you use letters to compose your necklace with your name, but you can also create customised necklaces with unique messages for you and all your friends: as a memory of a special evening like a bachelorette party, just like Ferragni and her friends, or as a symbol of a great friendship that will last forever.


In addition, among the charms of the SeiMia Collection, you’ll also find symbols and pendants you can use to personalised your name necklace just the way you want: coloured crystals, hearts, crosses, chaines and much more. Just use the online configurator and immediately see how your creation of letters and decorative charms looks.

SeiMia Collection

Create your customised necklace you can wear everywhere, either by itself or together with other necklaces: Chiara Ferragni wore her short necklace by itself to enrich a simple tank or asymmetrical top, but you can also wear it together with a choker or longer necklaces for a look that's fun.

Now that the wedding’s over, Chiara is often seen wearing a name necklace that’s similar to her famous Bride To be necklace wear it together with a choker or longer necklaces for a look that’s fun.

but which actually contains her son’s name, and it’s paired with a necklace of medium length with Chiara written in cursive – just like the one Carrie wore – along with other long pendant necklaces. Use our tips as inspiration for how to wear customised necklaces with names and messages with your every look!

<![CDATA[70 days left until Christmas: have you started thinking about gifts?]]> https://www.nomination.com/world/blog/christmas-gifts/

Decking your house out with wreaths, garlands and lights still seems like it’s ages away, just like decorating and placing gifts under the Christams tree does. And yet there are only 70 days until Christmas: that’s really not much!

Maybe it’s still too soon to start prepping your house for the holidays, but it’s not too soon to start the search for Christmas gifts. Every year we say we’re going to start sooner so we don’t find ourselves stuck on Christmas Eve with gifts left to cross off our list. Who knows why, but we always end up buying gifts at the last minute and end up making bad selections because we’re in a rush and don’t want to show up empty handed.

So this year, why not keep your promise and actually start thinking about Christmas gifts for your loved ones well in advance? That way you can relax in the final days leading up to Christmas and simply enjoy the holiday spirit, getting the house ready before reuniting with all your family and friends.

Here are some Nomination gift ideas to dedicate to your loved ones: for him and her, for Mum and Dad, and for the kids!



For a special woman: your girlfriend, Mum or granddaughter

What’s the perfect gift for one of the most important woman in your life? There’s a great piece of jewelry for each one of them, you just have to find it.

The right gift for your girlfriend or fiancée makes her feel beautiful and special and contains a hidden meaning known only to the two of you. Create a personalised necklace for her with charms and pendants from the SeiMia Collection: meaningful jewelry that sparkles.

For a woman with class who loves to express herself through her accessories and whose look is refined and professional, go with a watch for this year’s Christmas gift. But not a basic one: a Nomination watch is elegant and glamorous, and above all, it’s customisable!


SeiMia Collection

The wristband is in fact a Composable bracelet, which you can decorate by adding all the Classic Links you want in order to create your unique message. Plus Nomination’s new watch for her is super glamorous: choose between a chocolate brown or glitter dial, our latest fashion colours!

Moving on to gift ideas for Mum: she too deserves something which will always remind her of just how much you love her. How about a personalisable Composable bracelet with a “Best Mum” medal?


For the little ones, the perfect Christmas gift is one which combines beauty with imagination: the Composable bracelet with engravable plaque and unicorn is a gift your daughters and granddaughters are sure to love. They’ll keep this adorable creature and loving message with them always!

Gifts for an important man: your boyfriend, dad, brother

So what are the Christmas gifts for him? In this case there are also many ideas based on the type of person you’re giving the gift to. Let’s start with one of the most important and difficult gifts to find: the gift for your boyfriend or fiancé.A stainless steel necklace just might be the right option for you: but which one should you choose? If your guy loves a casual but fashionable look, the right necklace is one with a pendant from the Class Collection. This medium length necklace is enriched with a decorative plaque which instantly adds value to any informal outfit.


Bond Necklace

The man who favours more minimal outfits and accessories will love the Bond necklace: this elegant chain is created using a series of round stainless steel disks. It can be worn discreetly under a shirt and is seen when he undoes his top shirt button.

For dad the right Christmas gift just may be a bracelet in dark stainless steel, which is perfect for many everyday occasions: for example, the Trendsetter bracelet with two engraved ropes, which can be customised with Composable Classic Links.


For a brother or a friend there's the Composable bracelet with motorcycle as the perfect gift this Christmas: a little something which will make them dream about their next road trip, or their love for bikes.

For either him or her, you can always create a personalised Composable bracelet choosing between the Links and charms best suited to their tastes and build it using our Composable configurator.

<![CDATA[5 types of mother-in-law: discover which type yours is and what to get her based on her personality]]> https://www.nomination.com/world/blog/mother-in-law-gift/

Giving a gift to your mother-in-law isn’t always an easy task: quite frankly, it’s not always the most peaceful of relationships, and choosing the wrong gift could be a real disaster! Of course, the situation isn’t always such a catastrophe: a lot of times, beneath the arguments and disagreements lies real love and affection between a daughter-in-law and her mother-in-law.

So much so that for a few years now we even celebrate Mother-In-Law Day, which falls on the fourth Sunday in October and represents an opportunity to spend a wonderful day together, or to repair a more troubled relationship. And on a day such as this you certainly can’t show up empty handed: it’s the perfect time to offer a little something to your mother-in-law and solidify your connection.

But it’s important to remember that not all mother-in-laws are equal. We’ve identified 5 different types: there’s a perfect gift for each one of them. Which one represents your mum-in-law?



Mother-in-law gift ideas: find the perfect one for yours

#1 The meddling mother-in-law
Many mother-in-laws fall into this category: the busybody is always ready to butt into discussions between husband and wife with comments and actions nobody asked for. And even when the situation isn’t this extreme, mother-in-laws who can’t help snooping into the lives of their son and daughter-in-law also fit into this category.

All things considered, mother-in-laws often become meddlers because they care so much about their families and want to be a like a guardian angel, taking control of the situation and making sure everything is okay.


The perfect gift for this type of mother-in-law? The Composable bracelet with a gold guardian angel: a gift which will remind her to protect her son and his wife with a bit more discretion, just as a guardian angel does by observing from afar!

Composable Classic Bracelet with angel in gold

#2 The egotistical mother-in-law
The second type of mother-in-law is self-centred. What’s her profile? The egocentric mother-in-law loves being the centre of attention, especially when with her relatives and children. Every occasion is an excuse to gather her family around her: an enticing meal of rare delicacies, a household activity she can’t do by herself, errands she has to do together with others.

Here too we shouldn’t see her need for attention as all bad: often it’s just way to spend time with her family and children, who, as they get older, drift further away from their parents. But Mum will always be Mum.


Wishes Jewellery

The right gift for a self-centred mother-in-law is an affectionate message, one of friendship and understanding to remind her that she’ll never be forgotten! A personalised necklace or bracelet with Wishes charms is perfect: just choose the words you want.

#3 The generous mother-in-law
But your mother-in-law could also be the most generous woman in the world! Thoughtful and caring, she dedicates a great deal of energy to her family, especially to her children and their spouses, not to mention the attention she pays to her grandkids!

Always ready to make something to eat for the people she loves, or to help out on every occasion: some mother-in-laws are truly everyday angels!


For the most generous mother-in-law in the world we absolutely need a great gift: how about a matching earrings and bracelet set? Choose the earrings with beautiful banded agate and match them with the Composable bracelet decorated with the same stone.

Earrings with natural stone

#4 The independent mother-in-law
Strong, with many interests who stops at nothing: this is the profile of the independent mother-in-law. She’s a women who continues to stay true to herself despite many years spent dealing with mundane everyday tasks.


SeiMia Collection

Usually the independent mother-in-law loves expressing her strength through her look: striking clothing, make-up and jewellery which confirms her bold personality. The gift for an independent mother-in-law is definitely jewellery that’s all about her: create the SeiMia necklace with the letters and symbols which best suit her

#5 The perfect mother-in-law
The last type: the perfect mother-in-law. For many daughter-in-laws it’s a reality that’s hard to grasp, and yet, perfect mother-in-laws do exist. Attentive to the right degree, discreet, . In this case Mother-In-Law Day is an occasion to thank her with a gift that expresses our warmest love and affection.


In this instance we can also go with a matching set: earrings and bracelets,two types of demure jewellery worn every day, decorated with matching natural gemstones, like gorgeous pink coral, a timeless classic.

Halloween, of course, the holiday with Celtic origins which has spread all over the world and whose ghoulish image has won over adults and kids alike.

October 31st has become an occasion to wear Halloween outfits and fancy dress inspired by ghosts and goblins and to have fun theme parties. Jack-o-lanterns, spiders, and skulls are musts not only as decorations for your home, your school, and your office, they’re also used to decorate the clothing kids and adults wear on this magical night. Halloween is the moment when everyone can become witches, skeletons, werewolves and other monsters and mythical creatures : little ones dress up and go door to door shouting, “Trick or treat?”, and the older crowd has fun at Halloween parties.

Of course, you can still celebrate Halloween without wearing fancy dress: if you don’t want to go all out, you can still create a macabre outfit with gothic jewellery and dark colours that recalls the spookiness of Halloween. A look which plays on dark themes without going overboard.

<![CDATA[5 ways to wear a long necklace]]> https://www.nomination.com/world/blog/5-ways-wear-long-necklace/

The necklace is, without a doubt, one type of jewellery that’s capable of revolutionising a look. It’s an accessory that immediately catches your attention and carries the outfit. A necklace can be contemporary and minimal, a sign of simple elegance, or it can take on the role of a statement piece elaborate and full of gemstones and decorations. And it can be long or short, with pendant charms, straight or multi-strand.

There’s the perfect necklace for every outfit chosen based on the effect you want to create, chosen according to your clothes’ neckline, on your hairstyle, and if other jewellery is present. Here we’ve decided to concentrate on one specific type of necklace: long, which are the most versatile, and can be worn in lots of different ways in order to always create a new and different look.

Let’s take a peek at five fashion trends for wearing long necklaces.



#1 Long pendant necklaces for casual outfits

Long pendant necklaces are one of those accessories that never goes out of style: many women choose symbols, hearts, feathers and letters in the form of relatively large pendants to decorate their jewellery, and which can be worn on many different occasions.

For example, a long pendant necklace goes perfectly with sporty looks. The iconic “sneakers, t-shirt and jeans” look gets more interesting when you add an ironic charm, especially when the charm has a special meaning. A long necklace with a moon-shaped pendant is always a good idea when you’re looking for a charm that will add a romantic touch to your days.



#2 A long necklace with pearls for a retro evening


Pearls have an old-world charm which makes them highly sought after by many women. And we don’t just mean the classic short strand of pearls: a long necklace with pearls is an accessory with a bit of a vintage flavour and should be worn on evenings out by the woman who wants a retro look.

Bella Moonlight Necklace with pearls

A black tube dress, a dress with a boat neck, or a strapless: dresses which recall 1920’s fashion go together perfectly with long pearl necklaces and immediately recreate the Charleston flapper look.



#3 Multi-strand necklaces for dresses and elegant evenings out


Long Necklace with stars and Cubic Zirconia

Another type of long necklace you can wear on special evenings is the multi-strand: several different chains draped over an asymmetric one shoulder top creates a bold look to wear to a fun party with friends.

The long multi-strand necklace is a statement piece and works best with monotone dress with minimal details, especially when the necklace has charms, appliqués and sparkling gemstones.



#4 Long necklace in rose gold for dreamy ensembles


The long necklace is an accessory that doesn’t have to be worn only in the evening or with elegant outfits: when you choose one with a simple design and delicate colours, you’ve got jewellery that’s perfect for light, airy daytime dresses. Why not go with a metal in warm tones?

Long Necklace in rose gold and coloured crystal

The long necklace in rose gold with pastel coloured crystals is perfect for flowy dresses with a classic round neckline for a look you can wear wherever the day takes you.



#5 The long silver necklace: a versatile accessory you can wear with many different looks

The final long necklace which should be found in every woman’s jewellery box is one that moves, like a chain and can be worn in many different ways. A long silver necklace with lots of hearts flows well with a strapless mini dress or one with a round neckline when kept long, but it can also be doubled around the neck or worn with other shorter necklaces to create depth when paired with different metals and colours.

Discover all of Nomination’s necklaces on our website and choose the necklaces which go best with your style for every occasion: in addition to long necklaces, we’ve got short necklaces, ones with gemstones, and necklaces with symbols, like zodiac signs and initials.

There’s more to fashionable necklaces than just long necklaces. One of today’s major trends involves necklaces with your initials or your name, which you can create alongside sparkling pendants from the SeiMia Collection: letters, symbols, coloured gemstones and delicate chains can be used to make the customised necklace.

<![CDATA[Earrings for girls: the best gift options]]> https://www.nomination.com/world/blog/girls-earrings/

Giving a little girl a gift on a special occasion: what should you choose? The right choice is definitely a precious accessory that makes an impact and warms their hearts. But it should also be fun and light up a little girl’s eyes
the moment she sees it.

You can’t go wrong with stud earrings when we’re talking about girls’ jewellery: whether they’re clip-ons or are earrings for pierced earrings, they are always small and delicate accessories which add a precious touch to every girl’s look. But which ones? There are lots of different charming animals decorating many of the earrings in our collections, winning over little girls’ hearts all over the world.

The earrings with gold and stainless steel squirrels make us think about the woods and its wildlife, and also about youngsters’ favourite stories: why not choose them for a fairytale birthday gift? But there’s more than just squirrels in Nomination’s world of children’s earrings.


Another darling option are butterfly-shaped earrings, one of the creatures which little girls find fascinating, with their large multicoloured wings. The Gioie stud earrings are decorated with pink Zirconia butterflies: adorable jewellery that all the girls will love!

Stud earrings with symbols and initials

A pair of star-shaped earrings is the perfect option. Crafted in silver and studded with white Zirconia, these Gioie earrings are the right detail to brighten up the look of adults and children alike.

Romantic and tender, hearts are certainly one of the symbols most chosen by women for their jewellery, and are also beloved by little girls. Why not choose a pair of heart-shaped earrings?

Earrings with letters in gold

One last suggestion of precious stud earrings which make the perfect gift for girls are the earrings with initials from the MyBonBons line. The simple stainless steel disk is embellished with a gold letter: for a personalised gift that’s timeless.

Drop earrings for girls

Stud earrings, small and demure, are the most classic accessory when choosing a pair of earrings for a little girl. There are, however, also plenty of drop eaarrings to give to little ones. Delicate pendants adorned with small charms or coloured gemstones: they’re discrete, age-appropriate accessories for girls.

The first option by Nomination comes in the form of dangle earrings with four-leaf clover charms and green jade: the perfect jewellery for a special birthday gift, to wish the very best to a little girl as she grows bigger and bigger every day. The Bella pendant earrings are also an excellent choice for kids. Not excessively long, small coloured gemstones hang delicately below the earlobe.


Crafted in silver, these earrings are available in various finishings and colour combinations: from yellow to rose gold, paired with coloured Zirconia in many different shades, from pink to lilac, from green to light blue.

Double pendant earrings with stones

Our last suggestion for girls’ earrings: going back to butterflies, one of the most beloved creatures, this time we’ve got a pendant version with the Butterfly earrings. A large stainless steel pendant takes the shape of the amazing butterfly’s wings, with all of its vein detailing, creating sophisticated jewellery for special events, such as a friend’s birthday party.

<![CDATA[How to wear hoop earrings]]> https://www.nomination.com/world/blog/how-wear-hoop-earrings/

The 2018 jewellery trends speak loud and clear: hoop earrings are an absolute must have and go with any outfit. This certainly isn’t the first time this particular piece of jewellery has been in the spotlight: hoop earrings were also a big deal in the ‘80s and ‘90s, but their origins take root in a much more distant time period.

A brief history of hoop earrings

The first sightings of gold, silver and bronze hoop earrings can be traced as far back as the Sumerian civilization, when women wore these earrings to beautify their ears. But it wasn’t just a custom for women: throughout history hoop earrings have been the favourite accessory for many men, not just for aesthetic reasons, but also for their symbolic significance.

In Ancient Roman times they were considered to be a status symbol of strength and wealth, while during the second half of the 1600s pirates began wearing them as collateral to guarantee a decent burial in case they died at sea. And women from many Afro-American and Latin cultures have been wearing hoop earrings for thousands of years as an identity symbol attributed to strength.



A return to hoop earrings: from the 1980s till today

Over the last few decades we’ve seen them worn by highly celebrated pop icons: Cher and Madonna for example, chose large, eye-catching version during the ‘80s. The period between the ‘90s and the beginning of the 2000s represented another important moment in history for hoop earrings: Beyoncé and Jennifer Lopez brought them back in style, often pairing them with sporty looks, with bright jogging pants and crop tops, a major trend of the ‘90s, but also wearing them with sheath dresses and more elegant attire.

The last time hoop earrings made a comeback was last year, and it looks like the trend isn’t going to let up in 2018: these hoop-shaped accessories for your ears are an absolute must have, whether they be large, small, decorated or embellished with charms.

And the trend doesn’t just stop at street style, because there are so many more types being worn on the runway, from Michael Kors to Magda Butrym. And of course there are today’s It Girls, who are major players in making hoop earrings fashionable in all their different forms Kendall Jenner, Gigi and Bella Hadid, along with the pop star Rihanna.



Wearing and pairing hoop earrings

After having revisited their history and having seen how the celebs wear them, the next question is a natural one: so how should you wear hoop earrings? Depending on your style and fashion habits, we can help you find the right pair to mix with each of your outfits.


A lot of women like to wear their hair up during the day: the chignon, the messy bun and the classic high ponytail all work beautifully with a pair of large hoop earrings, which, depending on their design, can be worn together with an elegant blouse for work, or with a turtleneck during your spare time, or with a boat neck t-shirt when you’re out having fun.

Bella Moonlight half circle hoop earrings

One of the major rules for correctly pairing jewellery is that you absolutely shouldn’t wear large earrings alongside necklaces: huge hoops or really decorated hoops should take centre stage, and your neck should remain bare.


Small hoop earrings with stars and zirconia

Other women prefer to wear their hair down loose or casually tucked behind their ears: the ideal choice in these cases are small hoop earrings delicate and simple, or with a small detail which adds a little sparkle to your look. It’s also the perfect solution for anyone who also wants to wear other jewellery.

It’s also the perfect solution for anyone who also wants to wear other jewellery. You can easily combine small hoops and a long necklace (with or without a pendant) that rests on your clothing without making your neckline seem heavy and overdone.

But hoops aren’t just defined in terms of large and small: more and more, contemporary earrings are embellished with decorative details that make them an incredibly glamorous and versatile accessory, adaptable to any kind of occasion. A pair like this really enhances your most basic outfits: they go perfectly with a simple minidress, a preppy black & white look, and also with a basic t-shirt you want to make your own.

Hoops can also be discrete and elegant pendant earrings, to be worn with a modest look that’s searching for that final detail to make it complete. It’s an essential contemporary accessory which goes perfectly with office wear and in other similar situations when you want to look chic but not flashy.

<![CDATA[Jewellery trends: charm bracelets should be worn together]]> https://www.nomination.com/world/blog/charm-bracelets-jewellery-trends/

Adding the final touches to your outfits with the right jewellery is an absolute must: an accessory can completely transform a look, even the most basic, and make it unique and personal. Just like there is for clothing, the accessory world also has its rules for the proper pairing, not to mention the fashion trends, which change each season.

Take bracelets for example: it’s an accessory that’s easy to wear and is perfect on any occasion, but it’s never banal. The latest jewellery trends are clear: this season, bracelets with pendants and charms are an absolute must. But wait, there’s more: the second rule for wearing stylish accessories dictates that bracelets decorated with dangly pendants and charms should never be worn individually.


Combining two or more charm bracelets is the essence of this season’s jewellery trends: but how do you flawlessly pull off this trend Here are our tips for choosing the best 2018 fashion forward bracelets, along with suggestions for how to combine them without committing a faux pas.



Large silver charms for your everyday looks

Silver is a precious material which goes together perfectly with many looks: it’s great with the informal ensembles that you wear in your everyday life, and it goes smashingly with your most elegant looks on formal occasions. Which piece you choose depends on the jewellery’s craftsmanship and aesthetics.

Let’s talk about bracelets to wear in your daily life, going to work, to school, and in your spare time.

Silver is perfect for clean, simple bracelets which are adorned with large charms. A bracelet with a silver charm does just the trick for a look that’s fun and carefree, and that we feel completely comfortable with: the unicorn is the symbol of dreamers, and it encourages us to confront all of life’s adventures with a free, light-hearted spirit.

The perfect combo to be fashionable in 2018? A silver bracelet decorated with a large pendant charm that’s meaningful: the the initial of someone you care a lot about, for example.



Different metals for a glamorous effect

A taboo for many years, the last few seasons have seen a complete fashion overhaul: different types of metals can be mixed together in the same look. We no longer have to combine silver jewellery with just other silver jewellery, or gold with just gold: the most stylish matches are the ones which can harmoniously unite different metals together.

With regards to bracelets, it really isn’t that complicated to mix several metals together. For starters, more and more bracelets are crafted by placing silver and gold metals side by side, for a look that’s chicer than ever.

But just how do you choose which bracelets to wear together in order to create the perfect mix of metallics? The key word is harmony. The form, design, pattern and gemstones which decorate the various bracelets must be in sync and therefore similar.


Our favourite combo of different metals using Nomination bracelets? The Mixit stretch bracelet with star pendants and the Composable bracelet with pearl-covered charm.

Mixit stretch bracelet with stars

The gold colour of the former and the metallic silver of the later blend together perfectly, just like the pendant charms decorating each bracelet do.


Special Edition Mixit Bracelet with hearts

Instead of yellow gold, if you want to try combining silver with delicate rose gold, go with the Mixit bracelet with heart-shaped charms: a look that’s both romantic and rock.

Bracelets with charms and sparkling gemstones for elegant occasions

Coloured gemstones make the most glamorous charms for bracelets to wear on formal occasions. A pop of colour is just what’s needed to brighten up your look when you want to stand out: bracelets are swankier and glitzy and become the focal point of the look.


Rose gold charms hang from a silver bracelet and create a sophisticated mix of metals and colours. How should you pair a bracelet with elegant charms like this one together with other bracelets?

Rose gold charms

It’s easier than ever as long as you focus on the basics. A perfect matchup is made with the Gioie Bracelet with rose gold finishing and inscribable plaque : minimal and simplistic, it has a Swarovski Zirconia star pendant.


Wishes Bracelet

If you prefer silver, the perfect pairing is with the Wishes Bracelet: a decorative chain embellished with a sparkling pendant charm with Zirconia. Another thought? Wear all three of the bracelets together for a look that’s sure to get noticed!

<![CDATA[Pantone colours: the shades for Fall/Winter 2018]]> https://www.nomination.com/world/blog/pantone-colours-fall-winter-2018/

As they do every season, Pantone the international authority in the realm of colour, has given their directives on which will be the trendiest shades for the Autumn/Winter 2018 season. Bright colours that stand out and differ from cold, elegant tones, to those which are warmer and heat up the winter with an exotic touch.

The 10 Pantone colours for next season are perfect for brightening up outfits in neutral shades with a hint of wildness: whoever said that bold colours were only okay in the summer? The Pantone palette for this Fall/Winter are more playful than ever: but how do you wear these eccentric colours off the runway?


To wear them with style, all you need are to add a few simple accessories or a detail in one of these shades: it will tastefully highlight neutrally coloured outfits, and it can make a classic all black look really pop. Here are our suggestions for wearing the 10 Pantone colours of Fall/Winter 2018 with Composable Links.



Fashion colour #1 - Red Pear

A deep, intense shade of red: a variation on the more classic bordeaux, which has been a must in our winter wardrobes for several seasons over. Red Pear is the height of elegance, to be worn as a sophisticated detail on any occasion. It goes perfectly with classic navy blue for a look that’s bon ton, and it becomes unconventional when mixed with blush rose daywear.


Composable Classic Link with Red Agathe

Choose it for your accessories: a bracelet with precious inserts in this colour will brighten up your winter outfit with something special!

Fashion colour #2 - Valiant Poppy

Audacious, extroverted, and well represented by all the major fashion maison on the catwalk: Red Valiant Poppy is the absolute must-have colour of the season. The word here is “dare”: a shade this vibrant should be combined with hues that are just as energetic, from electric blue to gold, for a look that’s all glamour!


Choose a small red detail to enhance the jewellery: a red heart is a timeless classic.

Composable Classic Link with Red Heart Stone

Fashion colour #3 - Nebulas Blue

The first cool shade of the Pantone palette is Nebulas Blue: deep, intense and bright, the imagination soars high into the clouds at sunset. It’s the perfect colour for daytime outfits which require a certain degree of elegance: special occasion dresses in fine fabrics or suits, for a total look which is chic and contemporary while fun at the same time.

For informal occasions, wear it as a pendant or charm detail on your jewellery and freshen up your everyday look.

Fashion colour #4 - Ceylon Yellow

A shade which recalls the intense aromas of spices, it takes us on a trip to warm and mysterious exotic places. How do you wear Pantone’s Ceylon Yellow? There are numerous possible combinations to create a super chic outfit with this colour trend. If you’re going for something sophisticated, try wearing it with a grey or creamy white pearl.


A sunny, cheerful colour that’s also perfect as a precious gemstone for an elegant bracelet: compose it with our Composable Links!

Fashion colour #5 - Martini Olive

Highly elegant and unique, Martini Olive is a shade of deep green with a hint of grey to create a sophisticated nuance that goes perfectly with a great number of colours for both casual outfits and more refined looks. Try it, for example, with certain pink hues: with the extremely delicate Mellow Rose or with the brighter and bolder Pink Peacock


Composable Classic Link with green zirconia

It’s incredible but true: Martini Olive is also the perfect colour for a brilliant gemstone to decorate bracelets and other jewellery and embellish your everyday looks.

Fashion colour #6 - Russet Orange

Among the trend colours of Fall/Winter 2018, there’s also the warm Russet Orange tonality, a shade of orange which recalls moments under the hot sun during summer holidays. Bright and bursting with positivity, the Pantone orange for this season can be worn with pale pinks for daywear, or with deep blue hues for a chicer effect.


Orange is therefore the sparkling coloured detail for a bracelet in warm tones to wear when you really want to stand out.

Composable Classic Link with Orange Jade

Fashion Colour #7 - Ultra Violet

The Pantone fashion colour palette this season would be incomplete without the colour of the year: Ultra Violet. It’s a colour which gives off energy, originality and creativity. Throughout the year we’ve talked several times about chow to wear Ultra Violet in your outfits, but here we see it re-emerge during the colder seasons. Combining it with silver is the perfect choice at a party where you want to be unnoticed, and mixing it with yellow creates a day look that’s truly fierce.


Composable Classic Link with Purple Stone

Choose an Ultra Violet accessory to give a bit of oomph to your look: a bracelet decorated with a sparkling purple detail is the perfect piece of jewellery to achieve this effect.

Fashion colour #8 - Crocus Petal

A pastel colour which reminds us of springtime: it’s Crocus Petal, a delicate hue in the Pantone palette for Autumn/Winter. For a look which plays with different colour intensities, combine this shade with the more lively Ultra Violet, although it also goes perfectly with other light tones: beige, cream or milky white for a bon ton effect that’s great for your work attire.


The gemstones in this delicate shade give a subtle touch of colour to each look: choose lilac jade for the bracelet which will accompany you on the coldest days of the season.

Composable Classic Link with Lilac Jade

Fashion colour #9 - Limelight

An acidic colour endowed with great energy and vivacity: Limelight is the shade of bright yellow for anyone wanting a look that’s scintillating for all of Fall-Winter. How do you wear a colour this bright with what you’ve got in your wardrobe? The perfect combination is with blue hues: light and sparkly for a fresh, young outfit, more deep and intense if you’re looking for something classy and elegant.


Composable Classic Link with Peridot

Small Limelight details go well with many looks: choose cheerful gems in this hue as a simple way to brighten up your days with everyday accessories.

Fashion colour #10 - Quetzal Green

The final colour in the Pantone palette for Fall/Winter 2018 is Quetzal Green: an intense greenish-blue shade, highly elegant, to be worn on your most important, fashion-forward evenings out. The best match-ups? With yellow hues like Ceylon Yellow, and also with many shades of pale pink.


There is a natural gemstone with exactly this colouring: Green Agate. Wear a heart-shaped version for your most romantic winter bracelets!

<![CDATA[Rose gold: a glamorous and sophisticated trend to win over anyone]]> https://www.nomination.com/world/blog/rose-gold-glamorous-sophisticated-trend/

Rose gold is a metal that has only received great attention in recent times. Until a few years ago, the preferred metal for jewellery was gold in yellow tones or silver, while the alloys created with copper represented a niche for precious creations.

Things have changed over the course of the past few fashion seasons, however: rose gold has increasingly taken on a prominent role, rivalling yellow gold and silver, and becoming a real trend that has invaded all areas of fashion. This delicate metal with warm tones is not only the preferred shade for jewellery and accessories to be showcased with every outfit, but has also become the preferred shade among women and girls for items such as the iconic leather stud, reinterpreted in rose gold for a more glamorous look, for evening clutches and dresses, and even for hats, for women who love to be daring in the creation of their own look.

And it doesn’t end here: rose gold has suddenly found its way into the male wardrobe, appearing as a detail that enhances accessories and jewellery items.

Are you still unconvinced? Here are all the ways that rose gold can elevate an outfit for any occasion, both for him and for her.



Jewellery in rose gold for her: accessories for every occasion

How can rose gold be worn with all outfits for an everyday look? A metal like rose gold, with its warm glow, can become the key to elevating any look whether for daytime or for an evening event.


Time Collection Rose Gold Extension Watch

An outfit chosen for work, which is elegant yet understated, can be paired with a watch with an adjustable strap in steel finished with rose gold. A classic accessory that will add glamour to a new garment, bringing a touch of sparkle even to the most formal of outfits.

You can pair the watch with a steel bracelet finished in the same shade of rose gold. An adjustable bracelet is the perfect choice if you are looking to create a sophisticated, elegant and minimalist look. The solution? A Composable bracelet featuring your personal birth stone , where rose gold links are enhanced with a small, coloured touch.

Bangle Bracelets are an excellent alternative for a day look, perfect both for outfits to be showcased at more formal events, such as work, and for more fun outfits, reserved for free time. Rose gold pairs perfectly with many different colours, from the most neutral, such as white, grey and black, to green and other warm shades. The choice depends on the effect desired.


Essenzia Bracelets are perfect for pairing with day dresses: layer multiple bangles in different shades to create a lively style, or wear a single bracelet for a more essential look.

Essenzia Bracelet in rose gold

And for evenings and special occasions? How should rose gold be worn? Bracelets, rings and earrings in this metal will add a precious detail that will elevate any outfit: you just need to make the right selections!

The perfect look for a special evening event is sophisticated, elegant and truly chic. The key is simplicity: a refined outfit does not try to bring together too many elements, but creates a perfect sense of balance between a few items. A dress with simple lines but in a precious fabric, a clutch that adds sparkle, especially in dark colours, and a shoe that enhances the dress without overpowering it.

And what about jewellery? Opt for delicate details, which add the right touch of sparkle to the outfit of the woman who wears it.


Stretch Ring Heart with Rose Gold Plated Finish

A bracelet in rose gold with small coloured crystals is the perfect solution for a dress that doesn’t cover the arms, while a ring in rose gold, adorned with small zircons is the perfect piece of jewellery to select if the dress has long, luxurious sleeves.

If the evening is less formal but still demands a special, eccentric and fun outfit, rose gold is the perfect metal for a few lively details that will give personality to your outfit. Long earrings in rose gold, enhanced with a large star and zircons, are the perfect accessory for an outfit with a rocky look, maybe paired with a gathered hairstyle that emphasises the face.


Alternatively, rose gold is a great metal for charms and pendants to decorate a bold steel bracelet: the Link with a wing is perfect here.

Details in rose gold that will elevate his look

If you think that rose gold is reserved just for women, you’re wrong. This metal has become a frequently-seen detail in men’s accessories, making all the difference when selecting jewellery pieces to pair with everyday outfits.


Stainless Steel Coloured Bracelet with Swarovski

A bracelet in dark steel immediately becomes chic when it is enhanced by a detail that is rose gold in colour and adds a little glimmer: a subtle accessory, perfect for pairing with all smart casual outfits created for work or for daytime events.

An alternative way to wear rose gold as an accessory that will elevate a man’s outfit is to choose small details in this metal for symbols and decorations on bracelets and jewellery pieces.


A Composable Link with a woven symbol in black and gold tones is perfect for wearing the metal in a subtle way, while the pairing with natural, dark stones is a favourite among those searching for a more ‘rocky’ look for their free time.

Turning 30 is a significant moment in one’s life. It’s like you officially cross the threshold into adulthood, whereas before you were still more of a kid during your youthful 20s. It’s customary to throw a big party to celebrate this major event with your long-time friends, reminiscing about all the wild and crazy stuff you got into, and the awesome times spent together over the years.

Your friends have various important tasks to handle at a turning 30 birthday party: they need to set up games and little pranks, and also choose the perfect gift for the occasion. What’s the right gift to get someone who’s turning 30 years old? A meaningful, one-of-a-kind piece of jewellery that’s been customised just for the birthday boy or girl. Check out our tips, all of which you can build with Composable Links.



Precious bracelets for a friend who’s turning 30

Jewellery is always the way to go for a woman who’s turning 30 years old: but what should you get? We suggest a personalised bracelet, with precious symbols that are powerful and meaningful, to remind your close friend just how important your friendship is.


Rose gold, stainless steel and sparkling gemstones for a bracelet composed of precious symbols that represent the purest friendship two women can have after spending a lifetime together, ever since they were little girls. The Composable MyAngel bracelet in rose gold is the right 30th birthday gift for a friend who’s protected you, been your confidant and is someone you look up to.

Another gift idea for a special birthday is the bracelet-amulet that brings good luck to whoever wears it.

Customise the bracelet you’re giving to a female friend who’s turning 30: but with which Links? Choose the Charms which are most suited to this special woman, or those which best symbolise a moment as magical as this major milestone.

Red coral is the gemstone for a heart that beats strong, the symbol of an important friendship that lasts throughout time: the Composable Link with natural gemstone to give to a friend. A small but beautiful charm that represents an unbreakable bond.


A good luck charm and a symbol of protection, the Greek Eye is the next pendant charm Link to dedicate to your female friend on her birthday. This charm is adorned with sparkling gemstones, to light the way as a friend gets ready to begin a new phase in her life..

Choose the Composable Link with pendant charm in rose gold: it’s the perfect surface to create the special message you want to give to the birthday girl for a keepsake that lasts forever.



So what’s the right gift for a guy friend who’s turning 30?

Are you looking an accessory that’s more rock and roll but that’s still meaningful and classy? Then choose the Steelikons bracelet in rubber: jewellery that’s decorated with bold geometric charms, perfect for the man who wants to stand out from the crowd.



Gift ideas for the important man or woman in your life who’s turning 30

A boyfriend’s or girlfriend’s 30th birthday is a really important moment and should be celebrated with a unique and meaningful gift.

For your lady, the perfect gift is one that clearly expresses your feelings with a symbol of love that lasts forever. Jewellery decked out with hearts she can wear everywhere is the right gift for an occasion such as this one: the Armonie necklace with hearts, available in silver or with rose gold finishing.


Messages Stretchable Forever Together

An important message for a wonderful woman: the Messages stretchable bracelet carries the message “Together Forever”. A declaration written in gold is paired with a darling heart embellished with sparkling gemstones.

If your boyfriend is turning 30, get him meaningful jewellery to celebrate a milestone as symbolic as this one. The Trendsetter bracelet with two engraved ropes, crafted in stainless steel with dark-coloured Links, is perfect to wear on even the chicest occasions.


Or give your significant other a unique and really personal message as your gift: say “I love you” with an engraving. The Trendsetter bracelet is made with stainless steel and can be inscribed on the back with your declaration of love.

<![CDATA[Romantic Rock: feminine jewellery and clothing with a rock and roll soul]]> https://www.nomination.com/world/blog/romantic-rock-feminine-jewellery-clothing-rock-soul/

Rock’n’roll has always been about more than just the music. Since this genre first appeared in the 1950s, rock music has acted as a social aggregator for youth. At last there was someone talking about what it was like to be young, who represented something they could see themselves reflected in, as opposed to what music had offered up until that moment, controlled exclusively by adults.

It’s thanks to rock ’n’ roll that music starts being connected more and more to fashion and becomes a true form of expression. Musicians communicate not only through their uninhibited songs, but also through their outfits, which become more extravagant, bold, anti-conformist and break entirely with the world of adults: like Elvis Presley, one of the first rockers in history.



Rock ’n’ roll inspires youth fashion

What was happening back then? Young people begin to look up to rock stars because, for the first time, someone’s taking an interest in them. They recognise themselves in the lyrics and start to copy their idols’ styles: jeans, flashy shirts, t-shirts, bangs and hair styled with Brylcream hair wax.

What comes next: fashion evolves, reinvents itself, embraces a new language and comes back transformed, decade after decade. And this is exactly what happened with rock fashion: with the arrival of punk we see ripped jeans and provocative shirts, with heavy metal hair gets crazily big and the colour palette goes darker. In the ‘90s grunge attracts young people with it’s rough, unpolished sounds and plaid flannel shirts. But rock also has a softer, feminine side.



Romantic rock: women’s fashion in 2018

In 2018, rock fashion is fully dedicated to females: typically grunge elements mix with tulle, sequins and pastel colours to create a style that knows how to be both strong and romantic at the same time. It’s a style that many stars have fallen in love with, from Rihanna to Madonna, and who’ve worked rock-inspired looks on many occasions, with leather taking the forefront, mixed with delicate chiffon dresses, sequins and romantic accessories. Which is how romantic rock was born, a term commonly used to define this feminine style.

Accessories are what make a look truly romantic rock: all it takes is one piece of jewellery or a small detail to completely transform an outfit.



Rock and romantic jewellery for your look

Which accessories and jewellery help turn a look into romantic rock? Metals like sterling silver and stainless steel are perfect for bracelets and necklaces to wear with romantic dresses, iconic studded leather jackets and biker boots.


A long necklace studded with heart-shaped charms is both rock ’n’ roll and romantic, and adds the final touches to an outfit you can wear to a special party.

Collana Armonie lunga con cuori

And to complete the look, go with a matching silver bracelet: for a look that’s romantic, rock and fun all at the same time!

<![CDATA[A personalised bracelet that represents you and your passions]]> https://www.nomination.com/world/blog/personalised-bracelet-passions/

Sport, music, travel: we all take the chance to immerse ourselves in our passions whenever we have free time. What is your passion? Which activities and pastimes fill your heart and your life?

Choose to express yourself with the accessories you wear, and say it with Composable! Among the precious Nomination Links on offer you will find symbols and charms charms to create a personalised bracelet that represents you and your passions. Not just a glamorous accessory to show off with all your outfits, but also a way of expressing your personality, piquing curiosity and inspiring others.

For all your passions: create a personalised bracelet and show the world what excites you!

There are numerous Composable Links dedicated to your hobbies and passions, but to symbolise yourself you can choose between many other pieces of Nomination jewellery: bracelets with engravings, for example, upon which an important word or date can be inscribed. For you or a loved one, a personalised steel bracelet with a personalised engraving is always a great idea.



#1 Jewellery for sports fans: a world of activity!

Adults and children all over the world adore sport: both as athletes themselves or as spectators and passionate fans. Football and its engaging battles for the field, dance and its fluid movements, the expressive figures of artistic gymnastics: every sport exerts its own fascination – which sport makes your heart beat a little faster?


For all footballers, aspiring players and those who simply love the sport, and who wouldn’t miss watching their team play for all the world, the Composable Link with a black and white ball -the classic symbol of the world of football - is a must.

Composable Classic Link Black and White Football

. And let’s be honest – during the World Cup :we all become passionate followers of this sport, and in supporting our team we can share plenty of carefree and happy moments with those around us.

But football is not the only sport: how many of you can’t wait to put on your trainers and set off for a run, with no fixed destination in mind? There are professional runners who leave us open-mouthed with their endurance and speed, but let’s not forget the beginners, for whom this activity is often a great way of relaxing and reducing stress. The Composable Classic Runner Link is perfect for both professional and amateur runners, made in gold and coloured enamel.

Whether artistic or rhythmic, many girls and boys become passionate about gymnastics as children, committing themselves to endless training sessions with dedication.


Composable Classic Link gymnastic

A sport where we often admire delicate movements during international competitions, which hide the immense dedication of the athletes: the Composable Link with a graceful gymnast is for all these athletes.

Dance is another discipline that is popular among little ones: in particular, girls love to let themselves go as they practice this delicate activity, which also requires intense training. But how satisfying to abandon yourself to the notes of a pleasing melody, dancing in unison! The Composable Link with dedicated pendant
is dedicated to all dancers.

Lovers of animals and sport come together in this discipline: horse riding.


An elegant and enjoyable sport, which allows a deep bond between man and animal to develop. Among our Composable Links you will find many dedicated to horse riding: we suggest a Link with a precious gold symbol, to create a bracelet for those who love horses.

Composable Classic Horse Jumping horsehoe Link

#2 Jewellery for musicians: when the melody takes hold of you

Many young people become passionate about a certain musical instrument: first they learn to strum, then they master their favourite songs, and soon they will be composing their own original songs, creating moments of great satisfaction – for parents, too.

But music is a passion that accompanies us throughout our lives: once you are initiated into this world of notes and harmonies, you will never abandon it! We suggest a Composable link dedicated to all musicians who want to carry their passion with them, always: the musical note in yellow gold, perfect both for him and for her. Of course, all music is not equal, just as all instruments are not equal.


Composable Classic Link Drums

A true rock-star drummer will always captivate us by demonstrating rhythmic talent and a flare for percussion, just as he or she will always be proud of the strength of the music created by their rock band: the Link Composable Link with enamel drums is dedicated to all drummers, to be worn with a personalised bracelet at all times!

Not just for musicians and singers: lovers of music can also be listeners and observers. There is nothing better than a great music festival during the summer, shared with friends, but a solo train journey, accompanied only by earphones and music at full volume, can be just as good. Choose the Composable Bracelet dedicated to those who love to listen!



#3 Bracelets for travellers: journeys, adventures and memories!


A passion that grows with age is our desire to discover the world and to travel: trips to unknown destinations, adventures in unspoilt places and landscapes, always ready to set off again. Is exploring the world your greatest passion? If so, the Composable Link for you is the Compass, which will guide you towards your next destination!

Composable Classic Link Compass

For every journey undertaken, we bring back a multitude of memories: tickets, little souvenirs, local products, but above all photographs. Some people prefer to shoot in digital, so that they can instantly see their photos, while other prefer polaroids, which give a tangible and immediate memory of the journey undertaken. Photography is a passion that often goes hand in hand with a love for travel: the silver Link with a camera is the perfect charm for those who can’t help but take photographs. Memories can take many different forms, however: the image of a journey doesn’t necessarily have to be a photograph.


Composable Classic Link artists palette

Sketches, paintings, drawings: the most artistic souls are inspired when they encounter beauty, and can’t resist recording the lines and colours they see. For those who love to paint memories to remember their travels, the Composable Link with a palette
is perfect.

Have you still not found the Link that best represents your passion? Don’t worry: the Composable collection is truly rich in symbols, messages and pendants dedicated to sports fans, musicians, travellers, artists and many more. Choose your Links and create a personalised bracelet that will accompany you all summer!

2018 will be the seventh anniversary of Friendship Day, which is celebrated every July 30th and is the date chosen by the UN in 2011. But why did the United Nations decide to dedicate an entire day to celebrating friendship?

<![CDATA[The unicorn: the trendy good luck charm for a fun and colourful summer]]> https://www.nomination.com/world/blog/unicorn-trendy-good-luck-charm/

Dreams become reality when we’ve got a magical unicorn with us every day of the year! Yes, these adorable multi-coloured one-horned “horses” are the hot fashion trend for Summer 2018, and they don’t miss a beat as one of the dominant trends carrying over from last year.

Not only is it a playful symbol seen on t-shirts and accessories, but the unicorn is also full of meaning. Take it with you everywhere you go, or give it to someone you care about and send them a special message.

How can you keep this fashion statement with you always? With the Nomination Unicorn Link add it to your most magical Composable bracelet!



Symbolism and legend: the meaning of the unicorn throughout the years


Link Composable Classic Colorful Unicorn Link

Since ancient times the unicorn in man’s creations has taken on many different symbolic meanings: there are numerous legends about this magical creature, some even dating back to medieval times.

In fact, it was during the Middle Ages that the horn was attributed with healing powers against poison, thus giving this animal the magical and pure mystique it still has today. Want to know something surprising?

Composable Classic Sun Link with Zirconia

It seems that in the past, the unicorn didn’t have the graceful, regal appearance we associate it with today. In medieval times, this creature was smaller and had short legs, and the length of the horn on its head was in turn also shorter: it seems that the legendary animal we describe today as a magnificent horse actually looked more like a rhinoceros!

Over time the portrayal of the unicorn and the collective imagination was transformed into an enchanted and magical creature which captures the hearts of not only little children, but also older kids and adults and has today become a true craze.


Composable Classic Link Knot Friendship

There are also lots of different meanings which have been attributed to the unicorn symbol over the ages. Wisdom is one characteristic which repeats itself often in the many tales related to this enchanted creature, but it’s not the only quality connected to those who choose the unicorn as a good luck charm.

According to some legends, the unicorn only appears to those who possess a truly pure heart: when someone is in need, this protective animal shows itself to only those who are deserving, and he instils them with the strength, courage and determination needed to face any challenge. The unicorn is an invincible protector who helps you get over your fears and sheds light on the right path to take.



Bring the Unicorn with you everywhere with the Composable bracelet and charms

So the unicorn is a summer must-have: but how can you include it on your Composable bracelet? Depending on your style, the combinations are endless. The key words? Glamour, colour, and fun!

<![CDATA[It’s flamingo mania: discover the Link dedicated to this all-pink creature and learn its significance]]> https://www.nomination.com/world/blog/flamingo-mania/

Summery, coloured, and good times: the flamingo trend doesn’t look like it’s going to slow down anytime soon, certainly not for Summer 2018! Dresses, handbags, bathing suits and accessories decorated with this cute animal are the musts of the season, and that’s not all: even our homes have flamingo decorations, which gives an exotic touch to curtains, lamps and other furnishings. But how did this fad start? Flamingo mania began in 2017 as part of an summer-long trend, and it’s been going on ever since.



The flamingo trend: where does it come from?

Over the last few years we’ve seen large, colourful floaties become the hit of the summer: : exotic fruit, unicorns, classic white swans and the pink flamingo. The first mass appearance of these adorable pink creatures occurred poolside and at the beach when the producers of inflatable floatation devices brought the flamingo to the forefront.


Composable Classic Flamingo Link with Zirconia

The flamingo had previously risen to fame, especially in the United States, when Andy Warhol turned them into a true pop art icon: these pink birds initially adorned American front yards and were then expanded into interior design, becoming a full-fledged symbol of 1980s pop culture.

But why is the pink flamingo so beloved by women all over the world? A major reason why this trend spread so fast was thanks to the many postings on social media: after all, flamingo floaties are photogenic and have even won the hearts of celebrities and the hottest influencers! Maybe we love pink flamingos so much because, for a moment, they bring us back to our childhoods, reminding us of games we used to play with our friends when we spent long, carefree days at the beach.

From floaties to clothing and accessories, to designer objects for the home, it only took a minute: flamingo mania was already at hand.



The flamingo trend explodes everywhere

Which leads us to today: the flamingo is a must-have in every setting. Not just dresses, shoes and accessories, but these cute pink creatures are starting to pop up in jewellery: for a precious jewel that screams summer!

The flamingo is a fun coloured charm that decorates bracelets you can wear to all the parties this season. The Miami Composable Link Collection is all about summer, and dresses up yours with symbols celebrating the best season of the year: the playful pink flamingo is a must, of course.


Along with it, there are tons of other Links crafted in silver, coloured enamels and sparkling gemstones. Place them side by side to create an accessory that’ll accompany you during the hottest days of summer. The pink flamingo pairs perfectly with the yellow gemstone encrusted sun: for a bracelet you can wear when dipping your toes in the ocean!

Composable Classic Sun LInk with Zirconia

The bracelet you’ll want to wear to happy hour on the beach and to your craziest evenings out has the refreshing summer cocktail Link, also decorated with sparkling Zirconia. Does your perfect summer include road trips, exotic countries and long evenings spent under the stars?


Composable Classic Vintage Bike Link

The Miami Collection includes a series of sterling silver Links just for you which represent a fantastic cruise onboard a yacht, the wind blowing through your hairon the back of a motorcycle and a trip coast-to-coast driving in a gorgeous vintage car.

Interesting facts and meanings behind the flamingo symbol

Did you know that the flamingo is more than just cute, it’s also quiet a fascinating bird? Thanks to its pink plumage, it’s a beautiful animal, and it’s the perfect symbol to wear to any summer event, but that’s not all! Do you know why flamingos have this wonderful pink colouring? The reason can be found in its diet: these birds eat mostly red algae, crustaceans, and other shellfish rich in beta carotene, which contributes to their feathers’ amazing colour.

And what about the symbolism tied to the flamingo? Wearing garments or charms decorated with this pink animal can mean many different things. The people who do so are usually kind, friendly, sweet and loving: did you know that flamingos make great parents and are very attentive and look out for their offspring?


A pink flamingo is the perfect gift to give your mum if she has a summer birthday: a sweet and special symbol that shows her how much you appreciate everything she does for you. A great gift idea? The bracelet with a pink flamingo in enamel.

Classic Composable Bracelet with Pink Flamingo

Pink flamingos are migratory birds who travel far distances at night in search of a place to live. So it’s also a symbol for the ideal trip, which you can give to a friend who’s planning an excursion or as a reminder of a wonderful vacation to someplace warm and tropical. The Miami bracelet with a Zirconia flamingo is the perfect accessory.

Summer, beach, and having fun: along with the playful pink flamingo the Miami Composable Collection offers tons of bracelets dedicated to anyone who wants to keep a reminder of their wonderful summer vacations with them everywhere they go: Discover them all!

The contemporary man always wants to look his best: every occasion has the right outfit that’s perfectly accessorized with the right jewellery. Accessories play a fundamental role in personalising your outfit and making it unique so that your personality is expressed through your look. Taking into consideration the most common trends for men in 2018, there’s one in particular which speaks loudly, clearly, and with conviction: rock-chic fashion.

Men who espouse this style love dark coloured clothing, from classic black or grey to shades of military green, taking the occasional risk by juxtaposing it against more flashy colours such as red, purple, or white. And it’s not just with colours: trendy shapes, combining clothing that brakes with tradition, also layering accessories.

Men’s fashion is becoming more eccentric while not renouncing that chicness which keeps it impeccable even when done up rock-and-roll style.

How can you create and personalise this trend? Discover how with our tips dedicated to all the guys who want to always rock!



Classic rock fashion for a look that’s casual but stylish

Certain iconic rock-and-roll fashion has become mainstream and is worn in everyday life. The grunge style striped t-shirt, ripped jeans, and studded leather biker jackets represent the most recognizable rock looks in men’s fashion. Over time these items have become must haves for every modern man.

An outfit comprised of a few basic pieces combined with the right accessories is the perfect way to express your personality.


Rubber Steelikons Bracelet Black Skull

Which rock jewellery should you wear with this kind of look? A bracelet which combines leather or rubber with stainless steel details is undoubtedly the right accessory to enhance your basic, everyday look.

We suggest the Steelikons skull bracelet: stainless steel charms are embellished with details like classic punk rock studs and symbols with black enamel that are immediately associated with the world of rock.

Men's Special Edition Mixit Bracelet

Simple yet totally rock and roll, the stainless steel Mixit bracelet is decorated with a thick chain: another jewellery option which goes perfectly with your everyday rock style.



The business rock-chic look for men

Who says you can’t go rock if you work in an office? It’s becoming more and more common to mix typical rock-and-roll clothing with more classic men’s pieces, adding that touch of class so the true rocker doesn’t have to hide his personality, not even in more rigid or formal settings.

For example? An all-black look where a t-shirt is worn together with a classic-cut suit jacket and is paired with a black leather biker jacket: rock, but with taste. A look this minimalist calls for accessories: but what’s the right men’s jewellery to add to this outfit?


Class Necklace in stainless steel with rectangle

Characterized by a minimalist and sober design, the Class necklace mixes perfectly for a look that wants to be rock and chic at the same time. The stainless steel necklace contains a rectangular pendant in black steel with a small sparkling gemstone.

Is your rock accessory of choice the bracelet? Keeping with an all-black theme, a great addition to this look is the Steelikons bracelet in black stainless steel with pyramids: a fierce geometric design for a bracelet that recalls the studs worn by hardcore punk rockers.

Composable Steelikons bracelet with black pyramids

Rock style for eveningwear

Who would’ve guessed that rock-and-roll style would combine well with your chicest outfits for special evenings out? Here too we need to apply the art of mixing different elements of style and movement. Eveningwear rock goes glam: studs mix with sparkle, dark colours are paired with vibrant, shocking shades. The look is all about going big, even for men.

Leather becomes the focal point, and jackets are adorned with precious trimmings: metallic brocades, glitter and sparkling details, laminated fabrics. Rock-chic gets eccentric and is completed with accessories. If your outfit is really flashy, your jewellery can be a simple, shiny detail worn like an afterthought.


Trendsetter Bracelet with two engraved ropes

A thin stainless steel bracelet decorated with a Swarovski inlay, or slightly more showy bracelet, like one from the Trendsetter Collection for men, work perfectly. We’ve chosen a dark Link bracelet with a fashion-forward detail, such as two engraved ropes.

<![CDATA[Gifts for your maid of honour and best man? Check out Nomination’s suggestions]]> https://www.nomination.com/world/blog/maid-honour-best-man-gift/

The big day is nearing and it’s time to finalize the last details! Organising a wedding is no small feat, and on a day as important as this one, everything has to be perfect. But the bride and groom don’t have to go it alone: parents, friends and family are there to help get everything ready in time for the ceremony.

Of all the people helping out the wedding couple, there are two who really stand out: the maid of honour and best man! Usually they’re chosen from among the people closest to them: friends or family who’ve known the couple for a long time, who’ve maybe even been there to witness the beginning of the great love story that’s led them to their wedding day. It’s tradition to give a special gift to your bridal party, especially to your maid of honour and best man: a small gesture to thank them for standing by you on this wonderful day, as well as for all the love and support they’ve given you throughout the years. So they should get a party favour that’s different than the one you’re giving all the other guests: something unique that’s more personal and meaningful.

More and more, the bride and groom are starting to break with tradition and get a personalised gift for each of the bridesmaids and groomsmen. It’s a nice way to thank them for everything they’ve done for us and to show them just how much we appreciate their effort and hard work during this busy period.

Just what are the perfect gifts to give the wedding party? Keep in mind their tastes, their personalities, their passions: it should be something original, significant. We’ve created a selection of jewellery for him and for her that’ll make the perfect bridesmaids and groomsmen gifts. Let’s take a closer look at the right jewellery for the men and women who’ll stand beside the bride and groom on their big day!

Among our Composable jewellery, you’ll see these amazing Bracelet with coloured PVD 9K rose gold finish, which are engraved with their birth month and are decorated with their corresponding birthstone!


Is your maid of honour a strong, refined woman with a lot of class? Then it sounds like a pair of earrings she can wear on her most elegant evenings out is the perfect gift. The drop earrings from the Armonie Collection are exactly what you’re looking for: elegant sterling silver earrings decorated with oval-shaped charms.

<![CDATA[The anchor symbol: its meaning and when to give it as a gift]]> https://www.nomination.com/world/blog/anchor-symbol-meaning-jewellery/

The anchor a symbol that’s closely linked to sailors and is tattooed and worn as jewellery by many people who love sailing and the sea. But the anchor actually has a deeper meaning than its obvious connection to the ocean. Over time a lot of men have started wearing jewellery with anchor-shaped pendants, even though they don’t have a specific connection to the sea. So is it just a fashion choice, or does this symbol mean something more?

Let’s take a look at the anchor’s hidden meanings: whether they are ancient or more recent, they always make for fascinating tales. Finding out more about the stories related to this symbol may help us to choose a great gift for someone special: a lot of men love jewellery with anchors and other nautical symbols. And it’s not just the men: the anchor has also become the perfect charm for women’s jewellery that’s classy, fun and contemporary.



The maritime anchor, symbolising strong ties

A strong bond, deep, enduring and invincible: this is one of the greatest and most intense meanings represented by this symbol. Its original purpose was to anchor ships to the bottom of the sea, thus making it safe for everyone on board. Over time it was only natural that the anchor became a symbol of secure, solid, meaningful ties.


Trendsetter bracelets with anchor

This is why giving a gift decorated with an anchor is an important gesture and should be dedicated to a loved one, a brother, your dad. Jewellery that’s perfect for a man who is an important part of your life is the Trendsetter bracelet in stainless steel with an anchor.

Bracelets from the Trendsetter Collection are the perfect gift for every occasion: they can be adjusted to fit every wrist size, thanks to their composable design which allows you to add or remove individual Links. So don’t worry about guessing their wrist size! In addition to the anchor, you’ll find bracelets from this collection that are decorated with other nautical symbols: discover them all!

The anchor as a symbol of hope

Initially tied to safety and stability, over time the maritime anchor has also been used as a symbol for broader meanings. For example, as a part of Christian tradition, this object has quickly become a message of hope towards the future: the anchor symbolises a brilliant, happy life.

Voyage necklace with anchor
Voyage bracelet with anchor

Give this message of hope to someone important and wish them the very best on a special occasion. Choose jewellery from the Voyage Collection for a wonderful man for a life full of adventures: the bracelet with an anchor and black hematite or the necklace with a maritime anchor pendant.

Express your love by sharing the anchor symbol

Life, stability, a connection: over time, it was only natural that the anchor became a symbol of love. This object is often depicted as a symbol of fidelity: the anchor gets firmly planted into the bottom of the ocean floor and provides the ship with the stability it needs. This is the same stability that two people who are in love with each other rediscover day after day.

Many couples get matching anchor tattoos to symbolise their eternal love. Or they wear jewellery embellished with this meaningful nautical symbol.


Composable Classic Link with anchor in gold

For both him and her, Composable Links decorated with the anchor can be added to a customised bracelet that tells their romantic story. Gold or silver? Choose the precious metal in which to share your love and keep this symbol with you always.

The anchor as a symbol of eternal love becomes a piece of elegant jewellery just for her. Delicate stud earrings transform this nautical symbol into a chic accessory that can be worn on any occasion: all that’s left is to choose between gemstones as blue as the sea or classic sparkling Zirconia as a precious gift for your better half.

Stud earrings with anchor and zirconia

If the woman in your life prefers something bolder, go with the dangle earrings with anchor and grey jade from our Gioie Collection.


Gioie Necklace with anchor grey jade

The anchor is also the perfect charm for your everyday necklace: the Gioie necklace is embellished with a delicate brilliant anchor and with grey jade gemstones, and is available in both sterling silver or with rose gold finishing.

Give jewellery decorated with the anchor: a strong symbol to represent your special bond!

<![CDATA[What should you gift your sister? A special present, made just for her!]]> https://www.nomination.com/world/blog/what-should-you-gift-sister/

Sometimes you argue, and then immediately afterwards forget why, becoming as close as ever again. Sometimes you don’t see each other for a long time, but when you are reunited it is as if you have never been apart. Sometimes you get angry with each other, but everything passes with a shared laugh. The relationship between two sisters is truly unique, and it is almost impossible to imitate or recreate it with others. It is the stuff of nature, instinct, heart.

But when was the last time that you surprised your sister? When did you last gift her with something to remind her that your bond is as strong as ever, even though lately you may not have managed to see much of each other? You don’t need to wait until her birthday to dedicate a thought to your sister, and is a special event such as a graduation necessary.

Every once in a while, it is nice to remind someone how much you love them with a token: particularly if this is an especially significant token, which will symbolically unite two sisters even when they are apart.

Let us suggest a few gift ideas for her, jewellery that can perfectly symbolise the special bond between two sisters. Whether romantic, sentimental or glamorous: choose her birthday or another special event to celebrate with an authentic gift.



Create a piece of jewellery that tells your story

Jewellery created just for her, jewellery that tells the story of two inseparable sisters: here is the most original gift to surprise her with on the occasion of her birthday, or for a different special moment.

Many of our links and charms with special meanings are dedicated to sisters and the special bond between them.


Composable Classic Sister Bracelet and Infinity

The word “Sister” can be engraved on a material in precious rose gold, while the most charming dedication is a silver heart, a precious link dedicated to someone with a special place in our own heart.

Long-lasting, strong, energetic: the bond between two sisters never breaks, even if time and distance divide them. Which is the perfect charm to symbolise such a relationship? The infinity charm, in its most brilliant and precious version, featuring many zircons that will light up every day for your sister.

Composable Classic Link Silver Pendant Infinity

A bracelet to say “I love you!”

Is your sister’s birthday approaching, and do you want to surprise her with a special gift? Choose a precious bracelet, but one which can also show her how much you love her.

An older sister can become a real guide for younger sisters: she protects, aids, advises. How many times have her words given you strength, or simply raised your spirits when you were feeling a little down? The perfect birthday gift for a sister is surely a piece of jewellery that tells her how important she is within your family: the Loved Ones Composable Bracelet encompasses within it the family bond, in which your sister always occupies a special place.

Is your bond with your sister so important that you want to inscribe it into metal for a long-lasting gesture? Is the perfect gift one that will become a true symbol of the profound friendship that unites you? Delicate rose gold is the metal selected to communicate your message: “sister” is the engraving that will decorate one of the two materials that are the stars of the Composable bracelet for sisters, which also features a Link with an infinity charm in rose gold.

Do you think that spending your free time with your sister is one of the best past-times imaginable? Walks, shows, concerts, cocktails and – naturally – shopping trips in town.


Compsable Classic Bracelet Shopping in rose

Spontaneous purchases would not be the same without our best adventure companion – our sister. Entirely dedicated to you and to your days together: the Composable Shopping Bracelet.

A glamorous piece of jewellery for a special occasion

Will your sister soon be celebrating a truly special event, such as a graduation or important birthday? If so, a meaningful piece of jewellery is required – one which can encompass the unforgettable memory of that moment. What are our suggestions?

The necklace is a piece of jewellery that can carry within in it the meaning of entering into a new chapter in life: a piece of jewellery that is important for the woman who is growing and maturing, throwing herself into new challenges and adventures. The Armonie silver necklace is the perfect accessory for a girl who wishes to be elegant without becoming excessively formal.

Is an important occasion coming up for someone who is so important to you that all you want is to show her that you are there for her, and always will be?


The perfect gift for your sister is a piece of jewellery that will allow her to carry a touch of sentimentality – and your initials, engraved – with her always. This Bracelet with a lasting plate and heart is exactly the gift you are looking for to present to your sister.

Bracelet with Plaque to engrave and heart
Special Edition Mixit Bracelet with hearts

Another piece of jewellery that is rich in tenderness is the Mixit Bracelet with hearts: the perfect gift for a woman who is your rock, but who needs to know that, in you, she always has a reliable person at her side, with whom she shares a special and inimitable relationship. Who, if not her sister?

<![CDATA[A gift for our children’s teachers]]> https://www.nomination.com/world/blog/gift-childrens-teacher/

The school year is gradually coming to a close eand children – as well as parents – are starting to dream of the yearned-for summer holidays. Sun, sea or maybe the mountains? Before thinking of the holidays, let’s remember that this school year is not quite over yet: there are still plenty of lessons and tasks to complete, as our children’s teachers know well!

In every class and in every place, teachers have taken care of our children and their education with passion and dedication. From preparing classes to projects for special occasions, from school trips to the marking of tests: teachers have been at our children’s sides for many long months, and a little thank-you is surely in order!

It has become an established tradition to give pre-school and primary teachers a gift at the end of every school year. A token to thank and surprise them for the good work that they have done all year with our children, who have grown day by day.

But what is the perfect gift to surprise our children’s teachers? Teachers are brilliant women, full of energy and passion: let’s thank them with a piece of jewellery, to help them sparkle in all their brilliance and beauty! Here are our suggestions for selecting the right gifts for pre-school and primary teachers.



A personalised bracelet for teachers

A teacher’s job is challenging but offers great rewards: helping children get to know the world is an important task! At the end of the school year, it would be nice to find a gift that symbolises teachers, their work and the gratitude of all mothers for the time spent with their children, helping them to learn new things.

With Links from the Composable collection, you can compose a message dedicated to teachers to thank them at the end of the school year.


Among the precious Composable materials, you will find various suggestions dedicated to teachers. A few examples? The silver Link with the word ‘Teacher’, to pair with the Thank you Link, decorated with a flower. A special message to dedicate especially to teachers!

The Composable links for teachers don’t end here: if you want to create a Composable bracelet to symbolise the subject of a particular teacher, you can select Links with letters in gold for the Italian teacher or those with numbers for the maths teacher.

A special thought for the end of the school year

The bond created between children and teachers throughout their school life over the course of several years is strong. As children continue their studies, they will carry with them the memory of the most special teachers for ever, while teachers will get to know many other children, and accompany them in the first steps of their education.

The perfect gift for teachers at the end of the school cycle must be an item that allows them to remember a wonderful class of children, with whom they spent a lot of time, over the years to come. A meaningful gift, which will remind them of those children who began an important journey under their guidance: what did they choose to study at secondary school? Will they go to university? And what career will they embark upon?


For the teachers who have accompanied our children for a long time, a gift of particular significance is required to mark the end of the school cycle. A precious bracelet to wish them good luck for the future. Our recommendation? The Trendsetter bracelet decorated with four-leaf clovers.

Do you and the other parents wish to give your children’s truly special teachers a gift? If so, then choose to engrave a message dedicated just to her on a precious piece of jewellery. The Extension Messages Bracelet with a plaque that can be engraved is perfect if you want to give your child’s teachers a long-lasting memory to mark the end of the school cycle.

Or maybe you think that a gift for the teachers at the end of the school cycle should be colourful and fun instead, just like the school years they have spent together with their pupils? If so, then choose a necklace with one or two pendants in attractive shapes. Little animals and flowers, coloured stones and sparkling metals: among our recommendations you will find necklaces with pendants that are perfect for teachers!



And what about male teachers?

Male teachers also deserve a special gift to thank them on the occasion of the end of the school year or school cycle. What should you choose? You can also consider a piece of precious jewellery for them, which will leave them a special memory of a class of children to whom they have taught many things, and with whom they have spent many fun moments.

What should you choose for a male pre-school or primary teacher? The right piece of jewellery for this occasion is surely a bracelet. A piece of jewellery that can be worn every day, without seeming excessively elegant or formal.


Our recommendations? Two bracelets that are perfect for a man with a casual but well-thought out look. The first is the Trendsetter bracelet finished with coloured steel, a piece of jewellery that pairs perfectly with many outfits and looks for the man who always wants to appear well-presented.

The second is the Voyage bracelet with anchor: steel, black hematite beads and yellow gold for a symbol that evokes the world of the sea. An accessory that gives a touch of style to a modern man, but without being excessively formal: perfect, therefore, for a primary school teacher.

Are you looking for other gift ideas for teachers? Discover all of our suggestions and you won’t go wrong !

<![CDATA[Men’s cufflinks: choose the perfect pair for your wedding]]> https://www.nomination.com/world/blog/mens-cufflinks-wedding/

When we talk about the wedding, we always mention the bride, her amazing dress, her jewellery and her hair style. But we can’t forget the groom! He should also be impeccable, in the right suit with all the right details. What are the groom’s must-have accessories on his wedding day? Cufflinks, of course !

Often considered a classic accessory to be worn at formal events – like a wedding, for example – cufflinks can also be an important detail which adds character to your look: in fact, cufflinks can be interesting and fun and add a touch of personality to a look which would otherwise be drab or overly formal.

But let’s get back to weddings. Not only should the groom wear cufflinks on his wedding day, but all the wedding guests should too. For an elegant affair such as this, the guests’ looks should also include men’s accessories which add a touch of class.

The groomsmen, above all, must pay close attention to following the proper etiquette on their friend’s or family member’s wedding day: after all, they’ll be standing next to the groom during the ceremony and they must look sharp!

Cufflinks weren’t invented yesterday: there’s a rich, long history behind them, their functionality and their beauty.



A bit of history: cufflinks of the past

The first references to men’s cufflinks appear during the post-Renaissance period: at that time they were quite ornate and valuable, in gold adorned with gemstones, and were worn by the aristocracy and bourgeoisie, especially in England. More lavish and extravagant than today’s versions, cufflinks were two buttons connected to each other with a small chain: a jewel which would replace all the decorations that tailors has used thus far on shirts for the wealthy.


In addition to being a status symbol for rich, affluent men , cufflinks also served a specific purpose during that period: the shirts of the well-to-do were made with starched fabrics that needed more than a simple eyelet with small pins or buttons – as was the fashion then – to keep the shirt cuffs together.

Stainless steel hexagon cufflinks

At the end of the Eighteenth century, trade had helped spread this custom: from England to France, and then to the rest of Europe. Up until the industrial revolution, cufflinks were only used by aristocrats and the bourgeoisie, who often requested customised cufflinks from their jewellers, with their banners and the family crest.

The industrial revolution introduced cufflinks which were accessible to all, even though they remained an accessory which was only worn on formal occasions.



Special occasions: how to choose the right cufflinks to wear to a wedding?

Speaking of special occasions, a wedding is the perfect example of when etiquette dictates the need for cufflinks. Today, cufflinks come in basic versions, crafted in stainless steel and embellished with small sparkling details or with enamel. Of course, they also come in fun shapes, ideal in situations where details are important but you don’t want to be bogged down by tradition.


class stainless steel cufflinks with anchor

For example? Anchor-shaped cufflinks in stainless steel. Bold and fun, they’re perfect for events like an important party or to wear with your work suit, but not necessarily for a wedding.

We suggest that the groom’s accessories stick to classic yet stylish shapes. Stainless steel is the perfect metal for this type of jewellery, because it offers a clean, sober starting point. It’s the enamel details, the small sparkling gemstones and metallic touches, like gold, which add style.

Round or square? Both shapes work perfectly for formal occasions like a wedding, so the groom should choose the one which goes best with his dress shirt.


Rectangular and decorated with small gemstones, the Class cufflinks with Swarovski are absolutely one of the top choices for the big day.

class cufflinks in stainless steel and swarovski

If you don’t want to let go of colour, choose the Voyage dress shirt cufflinkss: the sparkling gemstones decorating them are also available in blue, which goes perfectly with a blue suit.


steel cufflinks with circle and swarovski

Do you prefer softer shapes? Then go for round cufflinks: the perfection of a circle is found in stainless steel cufflinks with enamel detailing and a touch of brilliance which brightens up the groom’s outfit on his wedding day.

Can’t decide between rigid or soft lines? Then the right choice for you is the hexagon cufflinks, which are also decorated with small touches of sparkle.

As we said at the beginning, a wedding is an event where the groom isn’t the only man who should be wearing cufflinks: the groomsmen should also wear accessories which enhance their look and elegance, given the important role the groom’s given them.

What are the right cufflinks for a sharp best man? Elegant, refined, but also a bit fun and which are sure to get noticed. Our advice? Voyage cufflinks decorated with coloured hematite and with gold symbols. Each man should choose his favourite: the windrose for the adventurer, an anchor for the man who loves the sea.


Voyage cufflinks are also available with small, lucky four-leaf clovers paired with brown hematite: perfect for the best man who prefers a light coloured suit.

<![CDATA[First Communion Gift Guide]]> https://www.nomination.com/world/blog/first-communion-gift-ideas/

A First Communion is a very special event for many children. It’s really the first time they’re the centre of attention in front of a large crowd: they’ll remember this moment for the rest of their lives. In May and June each year, many kids reach this rite of passage after discovering their own spirituality through studying and preparing to receive the Holy Sacrament. The religious ceremony is usually followed by gatherings and parties organised by the child’s parents. Family and friends are invited to share in this joyous occasion.

Traditionally, guests bring a gift for the boy or girl who’s celebrating their First Communion. But what’s the right gift for this special occasion? It should definitely be a reminder, a keepsake, of this moment: the gift needs to be meaningful, important, precious. Not only should it still be relevant in the future, but the child should also be able to wear it now. You know you want to get jewellery for their First Communion gift, but you’re not sure what to choose?




We’ve gathered a selection of the most beautiful inspirations for the perfect gift for a boy or a girl. All that’s left to do is to choose the one which best expresses your message of congrats!

A symbolic First Communion keepsake

There are lots of symbols which recall this important celebration: crosses, angels, and the Host, all of which make beautiful charms and decorate precious jewellery dedicated to boys and girls.


For example? The stainless steel Composable bracelet with gold cross: jewellery that’s perfect for both him and her to be worn now and also in the future for a keepsake that lasts forever.

Would you like to create a truly unique piece of jewellery to congratulate a child you love? Build a personalisable Composable bracelet and choose from among the tons of Links and Charms dedicated to boys and girls: from First Communion symbols to adorable animals and pets, to coloured gemstones and gold letters.

Are you looking for delicate, feminine jewellery to give to a little girl on the day of her First Communion but which she can also wear as she gets older? We’ve selected a few options for you which work perfectly. The first piece of jewellery to celebrate a little girl you love is the Trendsetter bracelet with four-leaf clovers.


It’s an accessory she can wear both today and tomorrow thanks to its wristband, which can be adjusted to fit the size of her wrist. Available in yellow or rose gold finishing, it’s a delicate bracelet that every girl will want!

Choose engravable jewellery if you want to inscribe a memory into metal. Among the First Communion gifts for girls we suggest this darling Composable Link with rose gold heart charm. You can add a personal message and have it inscribed by hand into the metal pendant.

Are you really close to the little girl who is celebrating her First Communion? Give her the sun! Choose the brightest jewel there is: the Gioie necklace charm represents the brightest star in the sky. It’s adorned with sparkling yellow gemstones, naturally.



Gifts dedicated to boys: all about sports!


How do you choose jewellery that will make a boy happy on his First Communion? By focusing on a common passion that’s shared by many kids: sports! Is he an aspiring footballer or professional basketball player?

Our collection of Composable Links contains tons of Charms dedicated to the sports enthusiasts of today and tomorrow and are perfect for creating a theme bracelet to give to a little boy on the day of his First Communion. Looking for examples? The Link with a football, or one with a football boot or a basketball.

<![CDATA[What are the right gifts for your confirmation sponsor?]]> https://www.nomination.com/world/blog/gifts-confirmation-sponsor/

For many young people, Confirmation signifies an important step towards spiritual awareness, and also marks their first step towards adulthood. In comparison to other religious ceremonies such as baptism and First Communion, confirmation is often seen as a more intimate moment, that the confirmand shares with his or her closest family members and friends. There are often big banquets and parties with lots of guests, but traditions differ from place to place.

Among the various people at the confirmation ceremony, one person in particular is essential: the male or female confirmation sponsor, depending on whether the confirmand is a boy or a girl.



But who are confirmation sponsors?

The men and women who are confirmation sponsors act as role models and mentors to the boy or girl who’s preparing to receive the sacrament. Usually they’re chosen by the confirmand and their parents from among the family’s most trustworthy, closest confidants who will help the boy or girl have a successful future.

The choice doesn’t necessarily have to be a family member: the sponsor could be selected from among family friends, especially when they’ve known the confirmand since their birth and have built up a special relationship over time.

So selecting a sponsor comes about naturally, and the chosen man or woman is more than happy to be a part of planning the celebration. In fact, the sponsor handles many tasks, including helping the family with organising the party, choosing the outfit the confirmand will wear, and with the party favours, just as a wise mentor should.



Thanking the confirmation sponsor

The confirmation sponsor represents a point of reference, a role model in life, a safe harbour you can always turn to for help. This is why it’s tradition for the confirmand to thank their sponsor with a special gift on the day of the ceremony. If it’s customary for every guest to get a party favour as a keepsake of this important event, something truly special should be given to the man or woman acting as the sponsor. It should be a gift which symbolises this deep bond between the them and the person being confirmed.

The choice usually falls upon a personal and precious gift that shows the person fulfilling this important role as a mentor how thankful we are for their guidance. Our suggestion? Jewellery you can wear everywhere that’s a wonderful reminder, of this important bond.



Gifts for female confirmation sponsors

What could be more powerful and significant than jewellery when it comes to a meaningful gift? Thanking your sponsor with something selected just for her means choosing a symbol that represents your special bond and which she can keep with her everywhere she goes.


A brilliant sun will brighten up her days. Choose the Gioie pendant that symbolises the brightest star: its sparkling yellow gemstones will be just the thing to add a touch of fun and joy to her outfits.

You’d rather get her a bracelet instead? Sophisticated but not overly serious, the perfect bracelet to give her as thanks for always being by your side is the Mixit bracelet with gold finishing.

<![CDATA[A graduation gift for your best friend: original ideas that’ll wow her]]> https://www.nomination.com/world/blog/graduation-gift-best-friend-original-ideas/

Graduation day: what better way to describe it than as “exciting” and “gratifying”? A milestone this significant is emotional not only for the person graduating, but also for their friends and family, who’ve witnessed the effort and perseverance which led to this moment. And it’s felt even more so when the person graduating is your best friend.

You probably suffered together through endless hours of studying in the library, nights spent cramming for exams, and were overjoyed and relieved to celebrate once the grades were posted. Maybe you’ve already experienced for yourself what your friend must be feeling as she gets ready to present her dissertation: what’s certain, though, is that we can’t help but get swept up. Another thing that’s certain is, in addition to helping and supporting our best friend in moments such as these, we’ve also got to be ready to celebrate her achievement and find her a special gift. But what’s the right gift for a recent graduate who we love and cherish? Every friend is special and different: so each of them deserves a gift that’s been chosen just for her and only her.

We’ve created a mini guide of the best graduation gift ideas: for each friend, there’s beautiful jewellery to commemorate this moment.



Stainless steel bracelets with a graduation theme

A moment this important should be remembered forever. An accessory she can wear every day in honour of her graduation is something a lot of girls and young women would love. The importance of this day can be told in lots of different ways by choosing the right gift.

The most classic graduation jewellery is decorated with the symbol of an academic cap, which is worn in some countries at the graduation ceremony.

A ready-to-wear Composable bracelet celebrating this special event is classic jewellery that can be worn on every occasion. One of its Links is decorated with the traditional graduation cap in black enamel, alongside a stunning four-leaf clover in gemstones to wish the wearer luck and a bright future.


A single touch of gold and sparkling black gemstones decorates our second Composable graduation bracelet: it’s the right choice if you want to give a gift that can be personalised by adding new Links and which begins their story on graduation day.

Want something commemorating graduation but not necessarily through traditional symbolism such as the cap and gown? We’ve got just the thing. Graduation day is, after all, a celebration of the new graduate, her talent, and her brilliance. The perfect gift? A stainless steel bracelet embellished with tons of stars: that shine as bright as she does!.

The academic cap, the most recognised symbol of graduation day

Having now become the traditional symbol for graduation, the mortarboard or academic cap was part of the official academic uniform worn on formal occasions in certain countries, especially in the Anglo-Saxon world. In these countries, it was customary for the cap and gown to also be worn in class by university students, not just by the lecturers and professors. Over time, the use of the cap and gown has been relegated to only the most important occasions, such as the graduation ceremony.



Colourful jewellery for vivacious girls and women

Is the friend who’s graduating very lively and energetic? Someone who’s always on the go and doesn’t stop for a minute? Then the right way to celebrate her graduation is to choose jewellery that matches her personality: original and colourful.


Our first suggestion has got to be the Gioie necklace with a four-leaf clover in sparkling green gemstones. What could be a better way to wish your friend luck on her post-graduation journey than through colourful jewellery with a classic good luck charm she can wear everywhere she goes?

Our second suggestion: a bracelet with precious gold finishing that celebrates the many wonders of life. "Bella La Vita!" is the perfect engraving to give to a recent graduate who’s sure to carry out her many plans for the future with invigorating energy.


It’s just like your high-spirited friend to have planned an amazing trip to celebrate an event as important as her graduation. Why not choose the Composable bracelet that celebrates a fun destination like Miami? And if a trip isn’t yet in the works, it could be the perfect starting point to take a vacation together!

The four-leaf clover, always a good luck charm

Since ancient times, the four-leaf clover has been considered a symbol of good fortune. Ancient civilisations associated it with good luck because it was very rare to find one among the beds of the common clover. Over time, we’ve attributed specific meanings to the four-leaf clover, and in many traditions it’s said that each clover leaf symbolises a particular quality: true love, health, reputation and wealth.Some claim that carrying a four-leaf clover with you will protect you from evil spirits. Today the belief that the four-leaf clover is a good luck charm is more popular than ever.



A new life as a graduate: sophisticated jewellery

Graduating means finishing your studies and often aleaving behind your student lifestyle in favour of a new way of life. The perfect graduation gift for an amazing young woman could be an accessory that helps launch her into this new world: as a professional, entering the workplace and starting to build her career little by little.

A woman entering the workforce deserves sophisticated jewellery she can wear to work and to important work events. What accessory is more appropriate for a woman with class than an elegant watch with a stainless steel wrist strap? The watchstrap is customisable with Composable Links, which add a chic touch to your watch with symbols, gemstones and charms.


The most classic jewellery worn by the most sophisticated women are certainly pearls: why not give your recently graduated friend delicate earrings decorated with white pearls? A contemporary version with half-circle hoops is the perfect combination of fashion and tradition.

Are you thinking a new career woman should have a necklace she can casually wear on every occasion? A little bit of sweet charm never hurt: we suggest the sterling silver Armonie necklace adorned with small hearts.

Want more ideas for the perfect gift for a friend who’s graduating? Discover all the beautiful jewellery we’ve selected for this important occasion!

<![CDATA[Baby Shower: how to organise one and what gifts to choose for future mums]]> https://www.nomination.com/world/blog/baby-shower-future-mums-gifts/

Never heard of a Baby Shower? If the answer is no, now is the right moment to find out more – especially if you have a friend who is expecting and you want to surprise her with a special thought to celebrate the imminent birth!

But what is a baby shower, exactly? It is a party dedicated entirely to the mum-to-be, usually organised by her closest friends to celebrate the new arrival in the family. During the party, fun group games are organised, delicious treats are eaten, and – above all – the mum receives many gifts for her and the baby who will soon be arriving.



An all-American tradition that is gradually spreading

The tradition of organising this kind of party soon before the birth of a child was born in the United Statesat the end of the Second World War, at the time of the Baby Boom. There are various theories for the reason behind the name ‘baby shower’: one of the most popular is that the word ‘shower’ is used in its literal sense, as mum and baby are truly “showered with gifts” on this day.


From the United States, the tradition has gradually spread to various other countries in the world, usually retaining the original characteristics of the party. Usually, a Baby Shower is organised before the birth, within the seventh or eighth month of pregnancy, and the occasion is often used to announce the sex of the baby to friends and family.

It is also traditional to prepare games to play all together, , usually concerning the baby and its world, while sweet treats and canapés are enjoyed before the arrival of a cake dedicated to the future mum and her baby.

The countries of Central and South America were the first to adopt the practice, turning it into a rooted tradition. The situation is different in the countries of East Asia however: in China and Japan, for example, the Baby Shower is usually organised only after the birth, and more precisely a month afterwards. Baby Showers in the UK, France and Spain – as well as in Italy, where they are becoming more common, on the other hand, display characteristics that are very similar to the traditional celebration.

The only change – which, in reality, is only becoming the case in the United States – regards the party’s participants.


. Initially, Baby Showers were parties organised for and by women so only the mum, her friends and family were present. Gradually, however, invitations to the party have also been extended to the dad and his closest friends and family.

How do I organise a baby shower?

Organising an amazing Baby Shower is like planning a real reception. Usually, as you would expect, it is organised by the friends of the future mum: thus they relieve her of this responsibility at the delicate time of her pregnancy.

First of all, the list of invitations must be drawn up: this will naturally be approved by the mum, and then formal invites will be sent out, usually on themed paper. With regards to the venue, a home setting is usually preferred, for example the house of the mum-to-be or that of her grandmother or best friend; all that is needed is a space large enough for the occasion and which can comfortably host all of the guests.

Decorations should recall typical elements of childhood: balloons, stuffed animals, ribbon bows, usually chosen in pink or baby blue depending on the sex of the child. As well as decorations, refreshments for the guests must not be overlooked: what are the most common foods for a Baby Shower? In this regard, there are no rigid rules, and the food depends on the time of day at which the party is organised.


Many choose to organise the party during the afternoon: in this case, preparing a kind of brunch buffet for guests, or a kind of afternoon tea, is perfect. One thing above all must not be missing: the cake, to be cut when the celebrations end.

Finally, an amazing Baby Shower always includes activities or games that involve the participants: those who don’t know can try and guess the sex of the baby or the exact due date; baby foods can be tasted to guess the flavour; and competitions between the future mum and dad can be organised – such as a competition to see who can best change the nappy of a doll while blindfolded.



What are the right gifts to bring for the future mum and her baby?

After the games, the food and the cake, the moment of the gifts arrives.


All over the world it is usual for those invited to bring a gift for the mum and baby. During the first Baby Showers, gifts were typically functional accessories, objects and products, in view of the baby’s arrival and the mum’s new life that the celebration was marking.

Friends and family therefore arrived with gift packages containing rompers, pyjamas, socks and tights, shoes, and cleansing and hygiene products for the baby. It is for this reason that – especially in the United States – you can often find curious products in shops, such as cakes made from nappies or bouquets consisting of nappies, coloured socks or other products in place of actual flowers.


The tradition of gifting useful accessories to the new mother and child is still followed, but, as well as this, it is becoming increasingly common to give the future mum a gift that is just for her at the Baby Shower.

Becoming a mother is a step that changes one’s life, but we must always remember that a new mother must still feel – above all – a woman, in all her beauty and femininity! What is the perfect present idea for treating a future mother at a time like this? Such an important event should be celebrated with a long-lasting, indelible and precious memory.

This is why many friends of mums-to-be choose to gift her a piece of jewellery: a precious thought to carry this moment with her always. But what is the right kind of jewellery to gift for such occasions? The choice can fall on various types of accessory: from those that are truly tied to the moment that is being celebrated, to those that will always remind the mum of this day in a more discrete way.


Among the pieces of jewellery created especially for a new mum, you will find bracelets dedicated to the family, which tell a long story that will become ever richer gold engravings dedicated to all future mums, customisable bracelets that celebrate the birth of a child.

Among the jewellery pieces that don’t carry a visible and immediate reference to the birth, what are the best ones to dedicate to a future mum on the event of her Baby Shower? Such a tender and emotional moment surely deserves a precious piece of jewellery, which, when worn, will allow her to carry this special memory with her, every day.


What could be more tender than a heart-shaped pendant? Choose the one that is most suited to the mum-to-be, based on her style and personality: an elegant and minimal bracelet decorated with heart-shaped charms, a colourful and cheerful sparkling necklace or an accessory that is simultaneously rock & roll and romantic? There is a piece of jewellery for ever mum-to-be!

<![CDATA[Men’s Jewellery: how to choose the right bracelets for every outfit]]> https://www.nomination.com/world/blog/mens-jewellery-right-bracelets-every-outfit/

Men’s accessory: how should they be worn? Men’s jewellery plays a fundamental role and can completely revolutionize an outfit’s impact. Each look and occasion requires the right jewellery: they’re not all the same! For chic events, elegant jewellery in precious materials like gold is perfect, but lavish accessories aren’t necessarily always the way to go. When you want to look your best in your day-to-day, what jewellery should be paired with casual outfits?

If you’re plagued by doubts on a daily basis, you’ve come to the right place: we’ve created a mini-guide to men’s jewellery just for you, to learn which accessories to wear for each occasion, and how to pair jewellery with all your looks.



Exclusive events, impressive jewellery

Weddings and ceremonies, chic evenings and gala dinners require exceptionally elegant outfits, planned down to the last detail. On these occasions, the accessories make the man. Obviously, your jewellery must be chosen with taste.

If we’re talking about ceremonies and other formal events, the menswear probably involves an elegant suit or tuxedo: which jewellery is right for a classically cut suit? The rule to always being elegant is don’t exaggerate.


Overlapping or piling on lots of jewellery doesn’t enhance any one piece and actually just creates confusion with too many elements put together.

Therefore, the right choice is a single statement piece, like a watch with a stainless steel wristband, or several small items worn together, such as thin bracelets finished with a few bright sparkling details

At the office: which bracelets?

In the last few years the unwritten rule for workplace attire has become less and less strict: your office look must be sharp, yes, but not excessively formal. That’s how smart casual, style was born, where classic elements, such as sports jackets and button-up shirts, are combined with what’s typically considered urban wear: sneakers, jeans, jogging inspired pants, t-shirts and polos.

All together it creates the perfect equilibrium for a modern men’s look that’s classy but less stuffy and more comfortable. In this case accessories are fundamental and help complete the outfit with a bit of attitude.


Stainless steel is the ideal material for jewellery to wear with your everyday looks: a bracelet decorated with geometric Links, for example, is perfect for a smart casual minimalist look.

The men’s accessory par excellence, the watch, in this case can be chosen in a fun, colorful version, like one with a fabric watchstrap.

Our suggestion for a really individual look is to choose a watch with contrasting colors in relation to your outfit, or which highlight a particular detail, such as the red stitching, or a blue pocket square.



Everyday wear: free your style!

Stepping away from formal occasions and the work environment, your look really becomes a way to express your personality: accessories play a major role in doing so. The rules are more relaxed, and combining several carefully chosen items can create a really powerful look.

Stainless steel is the perfect material to wear in your everyday life: classic or burnished, this metal is resistant and very versatile, and can be manipulated to create accessories with innovative shapes.


Need some examples? The Trendsetter bracelet in stainless steel with elegant black or gray finishing is decorated with two side-by-side ropes engraved on a plaque.

For those whose style is more rock and roll, stainless steel bracelets for men provide opportunities to enhance your outfit: from the Mixit chain bracelet to the burnished Steelikons bracelet, with pyramid-shaped studs.

Or you could choose a bracelet that really says something about you, like the personalized Composable bracelet. A big trend in men’s jewellery is colored gemstones, which add a touch of pizzazz to your everyday look. Choose the birthstone of your zodiac sign, if you’re looking for a fun accessory that shows off your personality.

And what about necklaces? It’s the perfect accessory to match with t-shirts for a look that’s casual yet planned down to the last detail. To enhance your outfit with unique jewellery, choose one of the stainless steel necklaces you can customize with an engraving. Class necklaces offer pendants in geometric shapes, such as rectangles and hexagons: the front contains details in black enamel and brilliant gemstones while you can inscribe your message on the back. For a look that’s truly original!

Now that you’ve learned all the rules for matching jewellery with your outfits, want to put your knowledge to the test? Here you’ll find a selection of Nomination jewellery just for men!

<![CDATA[Zodiac compatibility: the Couple’s Horoscope for 2018]]> https://www.nomination.com/world/blog/zodiac-compatibility-couple-horoscope-2018/

Finding your soul mate seems like an impossible feat? It’s not always easy to meet someone with whom you can share joy and passion and be in perfect harmony. But how do we know when the right person is standing there right in front of us? It’s hard to seize the moment, but it’s said that the stars already know a lot of things we couldn’t even imagine.

Speaking of love, it does seem that there are particular couple’s affinities between certain zodiacal signs. In the design of the zodiac, some signs were intended to love each other: when two compatible souls meet, eternal love is a real possibility!

At the same time, however, there are some zodiacal signs that just can’t manage to get along, at least not in the long run. So be careful: what seems like love could sooner or later turn out to be a real catastrophe!

Want to know which signs are compatible with yours? Discover them with the 2018 Couple’s Horoscope, together with the birthstones that will make you lucky in love!



Capricorn | December 22 – January 20

For Capricorns, the stars have a clear idea which affinities could bring true love in 2018. Who’s the first candidate? Another Capricorn! There’s a deep bond between two partners of this same sign, which lasts over time and can overcome any challenge. There’s also an excellent compatibility with Libra and Cancer.


The connection isn’t good with strong Leo, nor is it with carefree Gemini: Capricorns continuously clash with them due to their lack of common goals. Choose Garnet, Capricorn, to renew your trust in yourself and to continue your search for true love.

Aquarius | January 21 – February 19

What do the stars have in store for the zodiac sign Aquarius? 2018 could be the right year to start a beautiful love story with a Libra, a Pisces or a Leo. With these three signs, Aquarius is able to unleash its funnest and most carefree side, thus creating a couple that will definitely never get bored!

Be careful of Cancers and Scorpios: Aquarius is often charmed by these two signs, but the harmony never lasts long. The birthstone which will bring you good luck in love is the Amethyst, bearer of serenity and balance.

Pisces | February 20 – March 20

Pisces, on the other hand, will find great harmony with a special Cancer or Scorpio: the element of water invisibly combines all three of these signs, creating a natural and lasting bond when they choose to spend their lives together.

Too direct and dominant for a Pisces is Aries: iin such an ill-matched pair, the more sensitive of the two could suffer. Gemini also doesn’t seem to be the soul mate for Pisces. They’re too creative and often distracted.


Pisces’ great sensitivity needs a good dose of strength and courage to face 2018, even when they’re part of a couple. Choose a charm with Aquamarine for your bracelet and you’ll have a good luck amulet to wear every day.

Aries | March 21 – April 20

Strong and impulsive, Aries has found a soul mate in Aquarius, who shines with originality and their desire to express themselves. But the stars are clear: for Aries, there is also a clear affinity with two equally strong signs,Sagittarius and Leo. But be wary of Virgo and Cancer: the relationship could become really complicated, due to the impulsiveness that characterizes those born under the sign of Aries.

The stars’ advice to be lucky in love? Always have with you a brilliant gemstone like the Diamond, which, with its light, will help you discover the beauty in what’s around you.

Taurus | April 21 – May 20

Taurus is certainly among the zodiacal signs focused on stability, even if there’s a big dose of stubbornness and a touch of possessiveness. What’s the perfect match within the zodiac? With Capricorn, Leo and Scorpio, three signs that have strong personalities, with whom Taurus can share passion, admiration and respect.

On the contrary, the harmony between this sign and those born under the signs of Sagittarius and Gemini is quite poor. Typically Taurus establishes a love-hate relationship with them: fun, yes, but it works better in friendship than with a serious love.


What do you need in 2018 to make your romantic dreams come true? Surely a good dose of optimism, the virtue of your protecting stone, the deep green Emerald.

Gemini | May 21 – June 21

Independent and creative, those born under the zodiac sign of Gemini are very compatible with Aquarius, Sagittarius and Virgo. Couples involving a Gemini together with one of these three signs constitute a magical union, and they’re sure to lead a joyful and carefree life.

Who has a difficult relationship with Gemini? Scorpio and Taurus, who have very different personalities than those born between the end of May and June. To welcome love into your life, the amulet to wear on every occasion is the Pearl, the bearer of light and good luck for Gemini.

Cancer | June 22 – July 22

The summer sign Cancer usually finds the perfect partner in another Cancer, who shares the same sensitivity and kindness. The affinity with Scorpio and Taurus is also good, with whom strong ties are created under the banner of mutual support. However, they don’t tend to form good relationships with those born under the signs of Aries or Leo.


These two partners hog the spotlight a bit too much to be willing to share their lives with Cancer. This zodiac sign’s lucky gemstone is the same color of love: Red Agate, which will give you courage in 2018.

Leo | July 23 – August 23

Strong Leo and Aries speak the same language, both protected by the element of Fire: it’s the perfect match. Passionate and long-lasting love stories are also had with those born under the signs of Taurus and Gemini, who nurture Leo’s natural enthusiasm each day. The most difficult relationships are those which Leo forms with Virgo and Cancer.

Being less hot tempered and more understanding is what the Leo needs in 2018: Peridot is the vivacious stone to add to your bracelet as a good luck charm.

Virgo | August 24 – September 22

Virgo finds perfect harmony with Gemini: they become almost telepathic, sharing the same values and ideas. According to the stars, however, there will also be good couple’s compatibility with Aquarius and Taurus.

Initially promising, Virgo's relationships with Libra and Sagittarius are not among the most enduring because these signs fail to communicate with and understand each other.


Put more trust in love: this is Virgo’s task for 2018. The perfect charm for your bracelet is the Sapphire, the protective stone of those born under this sign.

Libra | September 23 – October 22

A wonderful love story is born when Libra and Aquarius meet, two Air signs capable of understanding and supporting each other. Libra also usually has a good affinity with those born under the signs of Aries and Capricorn, with whom they establish mutual esteem and respect.

However, Libra just doesn’t get along with Virgo and Leorelationships formed between these signs are often adversarial, full of bickering. Joie de vivre and positivity will lead to a special encounter for Libras who are looking for love: always wear an Opal to activate these virtues.

Scorpio | October 23 – November 22

Scorpios are known for having difficult personalities. Mysterious and determined, they’re able to make themselves understood by Cancer, Pisces and Libra, with whom they’ll discover the pleasure of sharing the little things in life.


The zodiac signs with whom Scorpio can’t successfully establish a happy relationship are Gemini and Aquarius , who are too independent and carefree for Scorpio’s taste. The lucky gemstone that will lead you to love is the Citrine, a precious stone that will guide you in the right direction.

Sagittarius | November 23 – December 21

The perfect partner for Sagittarius is Aries, with whom a strong and engaging intellectual understanding is immediately formed. They also have excellent compatibility with the zodiac signs Gemini and Libra, who can help Sagittarius rediscover the lighter and carefree side of life.

Relationships with Taurus and Virgo don’t work out particularly well. They’re two zodiacal signs with whom Sagittarius doesn’t share the same values or passions. Sometimes a bit more insight is all you need in love: Topaz stimulates this quality in Sagittarius, which they can wear on their Composable bracelet.

There are so many birthstones that can be added to a Composable bracelet: round, oval or heart-shaped, discover them all and create lucky jewelry for yourself or as a gift for someone special.

<![CDATA[Spring-Summer 2018 Trends: all the colours of the season]]> https://www.nomination.com/world/blog/spring-summer-2018-trends-colours-season/

Waiting for the last cold, grey days to give way to warmer temperatures, we can’t help but get ready for the arrival of spring by checking out the fashion trends of the season. Colour, colour, colour: this is the must this season, which dictates clothing and accessories that go from the most shocking shades inspired by the ‘80s, to the most delicate pastel colours.

Leave your black and gray clothing in the closet: this next spring-summer season will be a real triumph of colour, even for the evening, when outfits are studded with sequins, feathers and fringes. And let’s be clear: the chicest outfits of the season are those that combine several colours into a single look that’s daring, creative, and inventive.

Are you frightened by the idea of putting several hues together? Not to worry: we have tips on how to combine the fashion colours for spring-summer 2018 for all occasions, including what to do about jewellery and accessories.



Pastel colours, candy shades

The most elegant days of spring-summer 2018 are tinged with optimism, thanks to the pastel shades you should have as part of your wardrobe.


Feminine, delicate and super-chic, the powder pink mauve, the sorbet yellow, the Little Boy Blue - which is included in the Pantone colour palette of the year - are the colours to choose for men’s cut suits for women, pleated skirts and romantic dresses to show off at your best friend’s wedding.

Pastel colours as a total look or several shades worn together? A suit with masculine trousers and an oversized jacket in delicate mauve is a great choice for the daytime, especially if you’ve got important appointments or meetings at work. For more informal occasions, a perfect match is made from candy pink and soft yellow sorbet: choose them for a longuette skirt combined with a men's blazer for truly chic daywear. As for the accessories? Play with the shades of the two colours, or add a shocking touch, like an orange or turquoise clutch bag.


The precious metals of the season will allow you to play with colour even with your jewellery, wearing, for example, a bangle bracelet in yellow gold combined with a bracelet in rose gold with a sparkling detail.

Shock colours and 1980s inspiration

If pastel colours are not for you and you prefer more vivacious hues, you'll be happy to know about another fashion trend for spring-summer 2018, which calls for bright colour combinations, such as orange, Cherry Tomato red and Schiaparelli pink.

It’s a return to the shocking colours of the ‘80s, also with regard to the combinations: pink and red get on like a house on fire, just as orange and Pantone’s Arcadia green, do, if you can believe it. And for fans of the most eccentric decade of all time, there’s even better news: not only are the colours of those carefree years back, but also the shapes. Blouses and jackets are made with voluminous fabrics, and most importantly, they have wide shoulders and puffed sleeves. Eveningwear includes cocktail dresses studded with coloured sequins and metallic fabrics, which hint of glam-rock.

Everyday accessories are very polished, in materials such as vinyl or PVC, often in optical white. And what about the jewellery? The must-haves of the ‘80s were flashy gold pieces.


Go for overlapping bracelets with details in the shape of stars or cute four-leaf clovers, and combine them with large classic hoop earrings: we offer them with a precious brilliant detail!

In the blue that is painted blue!

Start dreaming of the Caribbean sea and your next summer holidays: outfits that include all the nuances of the sea and its blue waves are among the chicest of the season. It’s the perfect choice during your most hectic days: in fact, in chromotherapy, blue is always attributed with having relaxing and soothing properties.

From Pantone’s Little Boy Blue, a shade of light pastel blue, to the more classic navy blue, up to the lightest periwinkle: creating an outfit that plays on these nuances isn’t that complicated, and it’s guaranteed to have a major impact. To soften an outfit in very bright blue tones, opt for white details: a blouse, a pair of ankle boots – a major trend this spring - or a bag. It’s a fashion statement that appeals to the most sophisticated women.

What jewellery can be worn with outfits that play around with shades of blue? If you want to brighten up your outfit with brilliant but discreet pieces, choose silver accessories with clean lines: a long necklace with coloured crystals is a must-have detail for an outfit with class.

<![CDATA[Bridal 2018: 5 trends for your wedding day]]> https://www.nomination.com/world/blog/bridal-2018-trends-wedding-day/

Floral embroidery, colourful tulle, bold shapes: the trends for the most magical wedding dresses of 2018 are all over the place, from very classic styles to those that brake completely with tradition.

From the Fashion Week runways in New York, Barcelona, London and Milan come spectacular dresses designed by Elie Saab, Rosa Clarà, Max Mara, Jesus Peiro and many other exclusive brands which set the tone this season for the fashion bride of 2018. Each collection dedicated to the 2018 bride has a precise characteristic: the Carolina Herrera bride wears pants, Elie Saab’s version is romantic, Jesus Peiro brings back looks inspired by the ‘70s.

The bride of 2018 often brakes from tradition, although some classic elements have been modernised: timeless lace, regal volumes created in tulle, mermaid dresses. These aspects are blended perfectly with oversized colourful flowers, thigh high splits, and eccentric capes.

The fashion trends for the 2018 bride are extensive: every women looking to take the big leap is sure to find the perfect dress for her shape and personality. Let’s take a look at the 5 major fashion trends for the 2018 bride: dresses, accessories and jewellery to look your very best on your wedding day.



#1 Sleeves

Many designers have the 2018 bride in classic silhouettes, not overly poufy, where lace and sheer materials are in the forefront. But the key eye-catching detail of these dresses are without a doubt the sleeves: thanks to the sleeves, gowns from Bluemarine and Rosa Clarà are truly unique.

Bluemarine’s bride wears delicate off-the-shoulder poet sleeves with full tulle skirts in a throwback to the ‘80s. Rosa Clarà is focused on flared sleeves: a carryover of the boho chic which dominated the bridal runways of past seasons. Super long, full and flowy, flared sleeves hearken back to the 1970s with a hint of kitsch that’s so much fun. The bride who chooses this style dress won’t be wearing bracelets because they’d get swept away in the volume of the sleeves.


The right jewellery to pair with this type of dress is something which accentuates the face: romantic heart-shaped earrings embellished with sparkling gemstones are perfect for the dress with a touch of retro.

#2 Colourful flowers

Young, bubbling brides will love dresses from Atelier Aimée Montenapoleone and from Elie Saab, who offer regal styles decorated in colourful floral embroidery. It’s one option for the bride who wants to break away from the traditional white dress and who wants to remember her wedding as a fun, colourful day.

Dresses of this nature come with strapless corsets embellished with colourful leaves and flowers, and voluminous asymmetrical skirts in tulle. Atelier Aimeé dresses come in pastel tones and are styled with extravagant updos adorned with contrasting floral designs.


The only jewellery which should be paired with a dress this bold is one which highlights the only part of the body left exposed: the neck. A thin choker with small glittering gemstones is the perfect fit.

Don’t want to abandon the idea of wearing a flashy accessory whose shape and colours recall your floral gown? If your dress is sleeveless, you can pull off a bracelet. We suggest the Composable Classic Bracelet Couture Romance: the rose gold details will match perfectly with pastel floral tones, while the sparkle from the gemstones creates soft, romantic contours.



#3 Eccentric outerwear: the cape

Dedicated to the decidedly regal bride, dresses from Vera Wang and Tot-Hom have been paired with the cape. It took all different forms on the runways: majestic, light, and sometimes resembling an actual coat, the manteau or cape is an accessory which gives importance to even the most minimalist of dresses.

The manteau perfect if your wedding day is in late fall or winter, can also offer a contrast to a white dress: red and black are the trendiest colours. Sheer and elaborate, long or short, the choice of cloak is all about enhancing the dress.

What other accessories work well with the shape and flow of a cape? When a woman moves her arms, her wrists get noticed: a precious bracelet is the ideal jewellery in this case.


When wearing a romantic crocheted laced cloak with your wedding dress, the perfect jewellery to match your look is a bracelet with gold details and white gemstone, whereas with a modern and more simplistic cape, the perfect accessory is a silver bangle bracelet, perhaps even with a bold detail like a sparkling bow.

#4 The bride wears the pants

It’s not the first time we’ve seen this on the runway, but this year many designers chose pants for their brides. Some maisons even created a jumpsuit version: Max Mara’s is a one shoulder jumpsuit with palazzo pants and asymmetrical draping, perfect for a women with class and modern tastes.

On the runway, Carolina Herrera showed a bride in cigarette pants paired with a white voluminous blouse adorned with a large bow and ruching. A look this modern goes perfectly with clean, contemporary jewellery, especially when the top has important embellishing. In this case, a minimalist ethno-chic bracelet is the right choice: we recommend this flexible bracelet from the Essenzia Collection in bronze.


But if your top has clean lines and the pants are full, go with a pair of long earrings: a contemporary design with elegant white pearls turns any bride into a modern-day princess.

#5 The mermaid gown reinterpreted

The curvy mermaid silhouette is a shape women love in a wedding dress. The 2018 bride looking for a mermaid gown won’t be disappointed: the mermaid in stiff materials gives way to soft fabrics which perfectly enhance all body types.

Silk and lace are among the favourites, which this season are combined with very high slits and very low necklines to make this style even easier to wear. If you choose a plunging neckline like those from the Rosa Clarà Bridal Collection, you should wear a long, delicate necklace: a great option is the silver necklace with pendant decorated with a large pearl.

If you prefer a dress with a slit and higher neckline such as those presented by Costarellos or Pronovias, go with a pair of long, glittering earrings, like these star sparklers.

<![CDATA[Pantone 2018: Ultra Violet looks for every occasion]]> https://www.nomination.com/world/blog/pantone-2018-ultra-violet-looks/

Ultra Violet: it’s THE colour this year, as proclaimed last December by Pantone. A vibrant and energetic shade that “communicates originality, ingenuity and visionary thinking that points us toward the future”, according to the official announcement for the Pantone colour of 2018. It’s just what our world needs, inventiveness and imagination.

The Pantone colour carries with it a lot of intrinsic meaning that goes beyond being simply the latest trend. The colour conveys meaning that’s much more profound than you’d expect, and designers all over the world have to know how to use this energy to inspire and influence us according to the objectives set out on Pantone’s website.


What’s certain is that each year’s colour becomes an instant trend and its hue pervades every domain, from fashion to design. How do you wear the Pantone 2018 colour? What are the hottest accessories for each occasion? Let’s take a look!

Ultra Violet Total Look

One trend we’ve been seeing on the runway the last few years and that’s among the chicest in street style is the total monochromatic look. Matching pants suits and shoes, dresses and accessories in the same hues, and so on: all black doesn’t count because the key word is “colour”. Past seasons had us flaunting head-to-toe scarlet and bold shades like cypress green, but this spring-summer season it’s all about violet, or rather ultra violet.

The only rule is to be daring: after all, an ultra violet total look certainly won’t go unnoticed. For a tone-on-tone work of art, not only does your entire outfit have to be violet, but so do your accessories: Remember the look Rihanna posted on Instagram shortly after the Pantone Colour of 2018 was announced?

Violet touches to brighten up your look

The monochromatic look isn’t for you? No worries, the Pantone Palette that includes Ultra Violet is quite vast. This particular shade of purple works well with a lot of colours, starting with neutral shades and ending with the most extreme: all shades of yellow, fuchsia and turquoise too. And it’s evident from the Spring-Summer creations we’re seeing from the top designers: violet and it’s many hues will be the accessory accompanying the hottest outfits.

Cream or blush coloured blouses and short dresses are enhanced with vibrant violet: abstract artsy designs, delicate flowers, needlepoint embroideryare the biggest trends of this breathtaking season dedicated to Ultra Violet.

The same goes for accessories: bold violet gemstones and details highlight key necklaces this Spring-Summer. Ultra Violet is the perfect way to jazz up our silver jewellery: build your personalised bracelet for next season with Composable Links in all the many shades of purple.


For all the romantics out there, we’ve got precious hearts: from sparkling and multifaceted, to Charms with gold framed violet hearts.The bracelet for summer is decorated with Amethyst, the natural gemstone celebrating the boldest shades of purple.

Ultra Violet even for your most elegant outfits

You’re wrong if you think bold, bright colours can only be worn in casual, daytime settings. It’s not the case with Ultra Violet, at least. A silk or taffeta dress in this colour casts a thousand different shades which illuminate the face and skin in a new light: the perfect choice for an outfit to wear to a big event or for an important evening out.

And because Ultra Violet looks good on blonds, redheads, and brunettes: all you need to do is choose the right outfit or accessories for the occasion and the look you’re going for. Ultra Violet handbags and purses are perfect for the woman after a fierce look that’s classy. Wearing matching pumps or booties in the same shade is even better.

For an exclusive party or super chic evening out, the accessory in Pantone 2018 we suggest is a glitzy bracelet


For younger women, the rule is to be daring with a fun charm, like the Swarovski butterfly butterfly that adorns our stainless steel stretch bracelet.

A more classic, elegant approach is our stretch bracelet with sterling silver details and three sparkling violet Cubic Zirconia gemstones.

So how will you wear the Pantone Colour of the Year?

<![CDATA[Giving pearls: which is the meaning of this jewel?]]> https://www.nomination.com/world/blog/giving-pearls-which-meaning-jewel/

Pure, perfect, elegant: pearls represent a jewel loved by women throughout ages. There are lots of legends concerning these delicate gifts of nature: from the ones explaining the origin of pearls through magical stories to the most superstitious tales, talking about the powers that pearls exert on people wearing them.

Let’s see which are the most peculiar stories, the most common beliefs and the jewellery adorned by pearls to be worn on every occasion.



Pearl origins, in myth and nature

There are different myths linked to the origin of pearls, however the beliefs coming from all over the world always refer to the divine and magical origin of this jewel.


An Arabian myth explains the existence of pearls stating that they are dewdrops fallen onto the sea floor and swallowed by oysters during a full moon night. Similar tales spread in ancient times among all cultures, from east to west.

Because of the spreading of these magical myths concerning the origin of pearls, some astonishing properties – almost divine – have been attributed to them. That’s why many people started a frenzy quest of pearls in order to find them and wear them as talismans, causing the destruction of many natural oyster beds where pearls very frequently formed.

Men and women from ancient times used to adorn their body with pearls, since they were considered a talisman full of powers. People said that wearing pearls made friendships stronger and they were even able to calm the anger against other people and, of course, they were considered the symbol of purest love.



Good or bad luck?


There are many other stories concerning pearls and their role in carrying good or bad luck depending on when they are given to someone. In short, according to some beliefs giving a pearl necklace or a pair of pearl rings might not be the best idea.

Since the Middle Ages, some western Countries thought that pearls were the tears of rebel angels: that’s where the belief of pearls as carriers of tears and unhappiness come from. One of the most famous beliefs in some western Countries, including Italy, say that giving pearls to a bride-to-be will bring tears in her married life. It seems that this legend came directly from the Far East, where some pearl divers never came back from their voyage, leaving their girlfriends and wives in tears.


Fate decrees that pearls match perfectly to the traditional wedding gown: not only corsages and dress details are realised with some little pure pearls, but also lot of brides choose pearls as jewellery to be worn during one of the most special days of their lives.

Jewellery like pearls are often lent to the bride from a person she loves, otherwise, in case someone decided to give her pearls as a gift, she should pay for them in order to avoid bad luck: we are obviously talking about a symbolic charge, which is normally just a few cents.



Pearls in jewellery with a modern design

Whether you believe or not in these legends, jewels with pearls are chosen by lots of women who want to feel elegant and beautiful for their most formal occasions. Not only classic necklaces or traditional pearl earrings: jewels decorated with these pure spheres are nowadays taking the strangest shapes, mixing them with other gemstones or metals.


A magnificent fall of pearls becomes the charm that decorates a bracelet in steel with a modern design, but pearls can also become a precious detail among a bouquet of elegant golden flowers. Romantic bracelet or a more glamourous one: how do you prefer to wear pearls?

With the collection of Composable Links dedicated to gemstones you can add pearls to any steel bracelet you want: do you prefer a classic white pearl or a more particular one, pink or grey?

Do you want to wear pearls while wearing some original and modern accessories? We have some suggestions for you. White or grey: pearls are becoming more coloured on the contemporary jewels, while they are blending with bracelets, necklaces, earrings and rings with geometric and strict shapes.


The Bella Moonlight half circle hoop earrings are designed for a woman who doesn’t want to pass unnoticed. They are not those classic pearl earrings, but a modern piece of jewellery, easily combinable with any chic or casual outfit.

Do you prefer necklaces? The pearl necklace become a long and gentle necklace, where a pendant is adorned with fringes and a big pearl.

If you have always loved the elegance of the pearl rings, you can wear a more fancy and contemporary version choosing the Double Ring Bella Moonlight.A silver spiral is adorned with a white or grey pearl surrounded by Cubic Zirconia.



Earrings with pearls and gemstones

Pearls and sparkling gemstones make the perfect match: it’s a union which gives life to elegant, refined jewellery – put them on and you’ll immediately feel chic on every occasion. Stud earrings with pearls and bright gemstones are the perfect detail for an everyday look: whether you wear your hair up or down, they’ll delicately frame and highlight your face.

Pearls and gemstones are also the perfect pair when it comes to long drop earrings. Ideal for the woman who prefers flashier statement jewellery, the Bella Moonlight earrings with pendants are perfect for an evening out when you want a look that’s super chic and won’t go unnoticed.

<![CDATA[History of Valentine’s Day: how did the lover’s day start?]]> https://www.nomination.com/world/blog/history-valentine-s-day-how-did-lovers-day-start/

As we know, Valentine’s day, the day dedicated to lovers, is celebrated on February 14th. Since when does this holiday exist? And why do we celebrate it on this exact day? Let’s walk back the footsteps that made Valentine’s Day as we know it.

Let’s also remember the gifts for our partner: on this day dedicated to love and to the couples we have to think about a gift which tell our partner how much we care about him/her.



Valentine’s Day: its origins between history and legend

The lover’s day is named after a saint: Valentine, bishop and martyr who lived in the 1st century A.D., between Terni and Rome. Why has he been chosen as patron of the lovers? There are lots of histories and legends concerning this matter.

Among the most romantic legends we mention the history of a young couple of lovers, whose fights have been reconciled from Saint Valentine. Story goes that one day the couple, in the middle of a fight, walked nearby the bishop’s garden.


He noticed the fight and he walked towards the couple offering them a rose: they had to grip together the stem of the rose in order to make peace. It didn’t take a long time before they came back to St. Valentine asking for his blessing for their marriage.

The legend of the couple became famous and lot of young lovers started to visit the bishop before their marriage: a real pilgrimage, which occurred on the 14th of every month, the day that was consecrated to the blessings.

This is one of the legends concerning Valentine’s Day, and it explains us why it is celebrated on February 14th: this is the day of St. Valentine’s death in 273 A.D. The pilgrimage continued also after his death, but only in February, in order to celebrate the memory of the saint.



The lovers gift exchange


The very popular tradition of exchanging gifts with the partner is more recent. Choosing a gift for your significant other on Valentine’s Day is the evolution of an ancient tradition born in the Anglo-Saxon countries: exchanging Valentines.

What are they? Love cards decorated with symbols representing romance: hearts, flowers, doves and angels, with love quotes dedicated to our lover. This tradition was born in 19th century and it is still alive, even if gifts and chocolates are becoming more and more important in the declarations of love exchanged by the lovers on Valentine’s Day.


Anyway, even today we use to send a card with a romantic quote: we can make these words themselves the gift for our significant other. “I love you to the moon and back”: this declaration becomes the decoration for a precious bracelet in steel and gold. For an indelible love.

Love means also sharing: happy moments, travels, dinners, walks, a home. A bracelet you can dedicate to her celebrating all these moments: we are talking about the Composable Bracelet Sweet Love, decorated with the most adorable charms ever.

And for him? You need a present which let him understand how much you care about him, an original and precious present.


What about a bracelet in steel decorated with romantic symbols, enamel and black stones? Buying two identical bracelets to wear a jewel which make you closer than ever could be the cutest idea.

In order to leave a love message for your partner, personalize the Composable Bracelet with the Links and charms that might describe your romantic love story. Any example?

When we talk about love, the heart symbol must be there! If you want to give her the most brilliant heart, the Composable Link heart-shaped faceted red stone is want you need. A romantic and chic jewellery, where the red stone plays the main role.


The Double Link Love is entirely dedicated to love: A Link in steel adorned with the writing Love and a heart decorated with brilliant Cubic Zirconia. Another option for him?

The Composable Classic Link with black heart: a precious plate in gold decorates this Link, where the black heart is the main character.

Are you still looking for some inspiration for a very special Valentine’s Day gift? Let’s find out on our store all the gift ideas for himand the gift ideas for her!

<![CDATA[Christmas traditions in the world]]> https://www.nomination.com/world/blog/christmas-traditions-world/

Christmas is a festivity celebrated all over the world with new and old habits. There are many contact points among all the Christmas traditions spread in every part of the Earth over times, starting from the whish and gift-exchange to themed decorations adorning houses and city streets.

Decorations and gifts of course, even if tradition takes a different and peculiar form depending on where it takes place. What is certain is that grown-ups and children all over the world wait for Christmas and appreciate this festivity!



Christmas preparation: decorations and traditional meals in the world


One of the most typical symbols linked to this festivity is the Christmas Tree: it’s not a coincidence that the habits of adorning the fir with lights, decorated balls and themed decorations has spread all over the world.

During this time, some Countries use some decorations that match perfectly with the local features. An example? In Australia, Christmas comes in the middle of summer. Here the houses’ front doors are adorned with beautiful garlands of flowers, and people spend these holiday days lying in the beach or camping, since Christmas holydays coincide with summer vacation.

Holiday meals change a lot depending on where we are, just talking about different typical desserts during this holiday time. In Italy, it's not Christmas without Pandoro and Panettone, two soft cakes that every Italian bakery produces just during this period. In Finland and in the Northern European Countries they usually prepare spicy cakes, normally flavoured with ginger or cinnamon.

In France, the typical Christmas dessert is the Buche de Noel: its origins date back to the habit - still in use during Christmas Eve in the rural and hilly districts – of staging folk songs and dances around a bonfire while spending Christmas Eve in the open air, or around a burning log if they were in the house.



The Christmas gift-giving tradition


Gifts represents a deeply-rooted Christmas tradition in many world cultures, even if the gifts often assume different shapes and they are brought to kids from different characters and in different dates.

In many European Countries, it’s Santa Claus who brings the Christmas gifts the night before Christmas: in England, Finland and also in Italy, the gifts brought by this funny man dressed in red will be opened when the kids wake up on Christmas Day.

Children from other countries, wait anxiously for St. Nicholas, giving gifts to all gook kids on December 6th.


This tradition affects Netherlands and lot of German areas, where children put their shoes outside the front door on the night of 5th December, waiting for St. Nicholas to fill the shoes with gifts and sweets overnight.

In Spain, the gift-giving usually takes place on January 6th, when los Reyes run through many Spanish cities, giving sweets and candies to the children watching the parade.



Where does the Christmas gift-giving tradition come from?

During holidays, not only children receive some gifts from Santa Claus, St. Nicholas or the Three Kings depending on the tradition: from time immemorial, grown-ups use to give each other Christmas wishes and gifts, too.

This habit, popular all over the world, seems to have very ancient origins, rooted in the paganism. Some theories say that this tradition dates to a Northern European pagan custom consisting on exchanging some propitiatory gifts on the Winter Solstice, which happens on December 21st.


According to another widespread theory, Christmas gifts would be the evolution of the ancient roman habit consisting on presenting each other with consecrated branches as a good luck symbol for the new year. In the Ancient Rome, the gifts exchange took place on January 1st.

Whichever the gift-giving origin is and in whatever way it is celebrated, one thing is certain: everybody loves Christmas and its magical atmosphere!

Dedicated to all Christmas lovers, the traditional symbols became precious charms to adorn your personalized Composable bracelet: would this be the perfect Christmas gift for that friend or for that niece who would possibly spend every day in an eternal Christmas spirit?


They are all here: the traditional green Christmas tree adorned with thousands of lights, the shooting star shining up in the sky and decorating your Big Composable bracelet with a precious golden touch!

And more, the classic red poinsettia, to be given as good luck symbol for a dear one and the red and gold Christmas Tree, which decorates a precious Big Composable charm.

Fine and shining, the silver snowflake, to whish happy holidays to a girl who loves Christmas in its glamour version.


There are also all funny characters as the reindeer, that decorates the Composable Link perfect for a sweet Christmas gift for a little girl or a little boy we love.

The Composable bracelet My Angel will be a precious wish for a special woman: yellow gold and brilliant stones enrich this jewel, decorated with symbols dedicated to the magic world of angels.

<![CDATA[What to give on Christmas? Christmas etiquette to not make it wrong]]> https://www.nomination.com/world/blog/what-give-christmas-gifts-etiquette/

Christmas shopping rush is about to start: we’re almost a month before Christmas, and that is the perfect moment to start with Christmas shopping! As every year, it will be better to consider many different ideas to surprise every person we love: boyfriend or girlfriend, family, friends. The perfect idea certainly starts with the gift: on Christmas 2017, we could also think about a new way to present it, an original gift packaging and a card with special effects.

That’s it! Here’s for you a short gift-giving etiquette to find the perfect present and offer it in a proper way to an important person.


Gift idea for Christmas 2017 for all the people you love

A precious gift gives a smile to anyone who receive it: here’s for you a selection of jewellery meant to become Christmas gifts which will be perfect for the ones you love.

To a special woman, suggestions are really a lot: choose the jewel which will be able to represent your relationship and her personality. Stella Collection includes necklaces, rings and earrings for sophisticated girls and women, Extension Glitter bracelets will let your fashion-addicted friend go crazy!


A personalized Composable bracelet is the sweetest idea to send an original message to every member of your family: there are many Links and precious charms you can dedicate to your sister or to your brother, to your mum and dad, grandparents and uncles.

Choose the ones you prefer and create your bracelet, unique as the people who will receive it on this Christmas 2017!

What about him? No worries about it: men jewellery signed by Nomination that you can give to the most special men of your live are really a lot! Steel or leather bracelet? A watch or an accessory with a great personality such as cuff links or key rings? You just have to choose!



Packages and cards also need to catch the eye


Ideas to create original Christmas packets, thought for the person who will receive the present are really a lot! Provide yourself with wrapping paper, acrylic colours, raffia and a lot of creativity: to realize a personalized package is easier and funnier than ever..

You could, for example, create a paper with ad hoc decorations. How to? You can search on the internet some decorations to cut to create some personalized stencils, otherwise, if you’re good at drawing, you could draw them by yourself. You just have to put them on your natural colour wrapping paper and coat with acrylic colours with a brush or a roller: let dry and that’s it! To close you packet you can use natural raffia, embellished it with ribbons, flowers or Christmas decorations.


The final touch to present a perfect Christmas present is the card: you need to think about something special, mainly because the card is the first thing to be noted while receiving a gift!

A very simple idea to create a personalized Christmas card requires a mix of many different materials to decorate the cardboard cover: coloured buttons, stones, ribbons, straw and glitter can be glued to shape drawings or personalized writings.


Choose your precious Christmas presents, arm yourself with imagination and wrap them as you wish: surprise 100% guaranteed!

<![CDATA[Black Friday and its special offers: what’s the story of this tradition?]]> https://www.nomination.com/world/blog/black-friday-special-offers-tradition/

Black Friday is nowadays an established custom in many Countries: but which are the origins of this nice tradition which allow us to make big deals buying everything we want the most?

Let’s find out together the origin of Black Friday and let the shopping begin! This year the big deals day will be on Friday 24th November: what about thinking on Christmas presents to benefit from the special offers on many Nomination jewels?



From the United States to rest of the world: the origin of Black Friday

The origin of this day dedicated to sales and special offers comes directly from the United States. It was here that, since the 60’s, on Friday following Thanksgiving Day, many retailers started to offer big discounts to increase their sales and encourage Christmas shopping.

This action had a huge success to the pioneer of this trick. That’s why many other retailers decided to join the initiative. In the United States, it represents an established custom, which recently spread also outside America.

Where the name Black Friday come from?

There are different theories concerning the origin of the name “Black Friday” and it is currently complicated to decide which one is the most truthful. One of the leading hypothesis says that the big deals Friday should be “black” because, in the past, retailers would use black ink on their financial records to show positive amounts. In such a day, the black pen was used much more that the red one – used to show negative amounts – thanks to the huge amount of sales.

Others say that the name Black Friday came from the crowds and the traffic congestion through the streets of the cities due to this occasion: it seems that the first people who use this expression were the Philadelphia police officers during the 60’s.

Christmas Shopping: let’s benefit from the Black Friday deals!

In the United States Black Friday is the opportunity to start thinking on Christmas presents: let us benefit from the offers of the day to let the Christmas shopping begin! Nomination propose a lot of jewels at a special price, you can choose and give them to someone you love!

For your girlfriend, choose one of the jewels designed for the romantic moments: from the silver necklaces decorated with heart shaped pendants, to the ones enhanced by beautiful butterfly wings. There are also precious Links to decorate your personalized Composable bracelet: the ones with love symbols, such as red hearts beating, or the ones with good luck symbols, such as the Greek eye.

Otherwise you can choose one of the Black Friday watch deals: femininity and elegance for the one with a bracelet-like leather strap, great personality for the watch with a steel extensible strap.

Among the jewellery deals for him, you will find a lot of trendy accessories that you can give to your special man as a Christmas gift: steel bracelets from the Portofino Collection, sunglasses, necklaces with Tribe pendant are on sales at low prices, but just for Black Friday 2017!

Discover all Black Friday 2017 Jewellery deals and focus yourself on your shopping!

<![CDATA[Original Christmas gifts: unique jewellery and custom bracelets]]> https://www.nomination.com/world/blog/original-christmas-gift-unique-jewellery-custom-bracelets/

The decorations, the tree, lunches and dinners with the family: these are just some of the things to start thinking about when Christmas is approaching, but certainly the most thorny issue is another. What is the right gift for each of the people close to us?

Every year it is the same story: weeks and weeks of looking for the perfect gift and it comes down to the last second. Because it is so hard to find a gift that is as original and unique as the person we want to give it to.

This year there is a different tune: ideas for a truly unique Christmas gift have come early! What is the right idea to surprise someone we love? Personalised jewellery! Choose the one that best expresses how you feel about the one you want to give it to from Nomination jewellery.

Personalised gifts for your partner

The Christmas gift for your partner is certainly one of the most difficult to choose, because we are always looking for something unique and inimitable that can best express our feelings: personalised jewellery with engraving is just the right romantic gift idea.

For your girl, choose the Extension Messages with Engravable Plate and Heart Bracelet: a treasured bracelet made of steel with details in gold and brilliant Cubic Zirconia. The protagonist of this jewel is the engravable gold plate you can personalise with a special message for your girlfriend or wife.

If you are looking for a Christmas gift that truly makes your girl shine during the holidays, the glittering Stella collection earrings are just right. A Cubic Zirconia encrusted silver star, from which hangs another small brilliant stone: a jewel that will illuminate the face of every girl during the magical Christmas holiday nights.

An elegant accessory is the perfect gift for your guy: the steel Class Necklace, finished with details in black enamel and a brilliant Cubic Zirconia stone, which can be embellished with an engraving on the back, to keep your love note a secret.

Best friends deserve original gifts

Each of us has that vital person in his life that we can always count on: in this case we are not talking about a family member, but a best friend, someone with whom we have shared a thousand adventures and laughs and who truly deserves a gift special.

Ladies, for your best friend the perfect gift idea is an exclusive bracelet, with a unique and stylish design, but not without a touch of sweetness: the Special Edition Silver and Brass Bracelet, with its beautiful cascade of hearts is the right thought for Christmas. Choose to make a gift also to yourself: wearing the same friendship bracelet will make the bond with your best friend even stronger!

Guys, even your best friend deserves an original gift: why not choose a limited edition bracelet for him, too? The Special Edition Bracelet for him is made entirely of steel and silver, combining the iconic Composable links and a chain: a men's accessory that immediately screams style and character, to match with the most casual everyday outfits, and why not even those more classic.

Special Christmas gifts for brothers and sisters

Brothers and sisters are our lifelong companions , with whom we have shared so many of moments of everyday life. Smiles, jokes and mischief: in short, our life would not be the same without the typical squabbles between brothers!

To thank a sister who has always been right by our side, as our confidant and the one who supports us in everything, it takes a gift that tell her how important she is to us.


The Composable Bracelet with rose gold details may well be the right choice. The protagonists of this bracelet are the word "Sister" engraved on the plate and the charm with the infinity symbol , emphasizing the unbreakable bond between two sisters.

If you're looking for a truly glamorous gift idea for your fashion-addicted sister , then you can opt for the Extension Glitter collection Double bracelet: two stretchy steel bands wrap your wrist with great character while the decorative plate with coloured Swarovski crystals illuminates the look with boldness and elegance. All that is left is to choose the right color for the precious coloured stones!

And for him? A stylish jewel, to wear on every occasion including the more informal ones, is the perfect Christmas gift to tell our brother how much we love him. Any idea?


The Montecarlo collection Necklace with name tag! A jewel entirely made of steel, embellished by a small brilliant stone on the name tag.

On the back there is a big space for engraving: personalised jewellery with engraving is the perfect gift to tell someone how much we love them.



For mum and dad, personalised gifts from the heart

Last but not least, mum and dad: come on…we cannot not think of a personalised gift made just for them! What should we choose to let them know how important they are to us?

The Christmas gift for Mum is the Composable Bracelet with the charm dedicated just to her: the gold heart with the "Mum" engraving . A treasured jewel, to surprise your mum with the most unique Christmas gift under the tree!

And for our dad? Out of all the Christmas gift ideas that have come to mind and you aren’t able to choose the right one? Even for the coolest dad, personalized jewellery could be the best decision.

<![CDATA[Good Luck Jewellery to Always Take With You ]]> https://www.nomination.com/world/blog/good-luck-jewellery-always-take-with-you/

Since ancient times, people have passed around so many beliefs and legends about the mysterious forces involved in determining the course of events. In particular, this force would be the Luck, already venerated by the Roman and Greek peoples of antiquity as goddesses with various forms capable of delivering prosperity, favor and protection.

Although today the mysterious deities whom ancient people believed capable of determining the destiny of humans are no longer venerated, the custom of wishing "good luck" to those who are taking on a new adventure or facing a challenge certainly hasn’t gone away.

From sayings to tickets, to the many good luck amulets: there are so many ways to wish good luck to someone you love. But why not create our own way of saying "good luck!" to a special person? Good luck jewelry could be the right idea to create an original and personal wish.

With Nomination Composable Links and charms dedicated to good luck symbols you can compose a good luck bracelet the way you want: the gift idea for a person who deserves a special wish, and a personalised jewel to create for yourself, too. Because a pinch of luck never hurt anyone!

Here is our selection of the most beautiful charms with good luck symbols to add to a personalised Composable bracelet to create unique unique good luck jewellery!



img src="https://www.nomination.com/media/wysiwyg/Ispirazioni/Good_Luck_Jewels/375x250_good_luck2.jpg" alt="" />

#1 Green Four-leaf Clover Link
The four-leaf clover is one of the most classic good luck symbols. In nature, this plant is nothing more than an anomaly of white clover: it is estimated that only one in 10,000 clover has one more leaflet!

It is for this reason that the four-leaf is commonly considered to have the power to bring good luck to whoever is able to find it.

#2 Rose Gold Good Luck Knot Link
A good luck symbol rich in meanings, the good luck knot in Rose Gold is the charm to give to someone we love. It is more than just good luck jewellery, because the knot also represents the indissoluble link between the one who gives the Link and the one who receives it.



#3 Good Luck Link
"Good Luck": the simplest and most spontaneous wish you can make to those who are preparing to face a new challenge. Here this good luck phrase becomes a treasured Gold Link to add to the personalized bracelet that tells your life story.



#4 Link Ladybug with Pink Gold Stones
A treasured charm to wish good luck to a teen or a little girl who is about to embark on a new journey full of adventures.Rose gold and brilliant stones form a delicate ladybug, a tiny animal long thought to be lucky: in fact, the colour red in ancient mythology was a symbol of prosperity.

#5 Make a Wish Gold Link
Make a wish! The wish for someone’s dreams come true is one of the most beautiful things you can do: dedicate this Gold Link to someone special, who will carry it with them on their Composable good luck bracelet.



#6 Red Horn Link
In Italian tradition, a red horn is a powerful symbol of goodwill: it protects those who carry it from bad luck, gives strength and vitality.

According to the beliefs of Italian folk culture, however, to be truly effective it must be received as a gift from someone else: have you already decided who to give this link decorated with a red horn to?

#7 Gold Horseshoe Link
Another classic good luck symbol is the horseshoe: in many cultures it is believed that hanging it above the door of a house helps to protect it and bring good luck to those who live there. In this case, the horseshoe is transformed into a treasured golden good luck jewel, to add to your personalized Composable bracelet to always carry a pinch of good luck with you.



#8 Silver Four-leaf Clover Big Link
And good luck gets even bigger if you wear a Composable Big bracelet adorned with the good luck charms! Choose the treasured four-leaf clover in Silver and Cubic Zirconia if, together with a good luck amulet, you are also looking for a glamorous bracelet.

#9 Gold Aladdin's Lamp Link
Another fascinating story about good luck is that of Aladdin and the amazing Lamp, a famous tale of A Thousand and One Nights. The mysterious Genius of the lamp decided to grant the boy three wishes: and what would you choose if you were faced with such good luck?

#10 Horseshoe Pendant Link
The classic rusty horseshoe turns into an elegant and stylized charm. The pendant is made of silver and brilliant Cubic Zirconia: a magic pendant to be given to a girl or a woman to wish her the best on a really special occasion!

Good luck jewellery for you and your friends

In addition to custom good luck bracelets, Nomination also offers other ready to wear good luck jewellery: but which ones?



The Good Luck Extension Bracelet, for example: an elegant bracelet in extendable steel with gold details and brilliant stones. The "Good Luck" engraving is the star of this jewel, next to the four-leaf clover symbol, a true must when it comes to good luck jewellery.

As an alternative to bracelets, there is the Extension Rose Gold collection Ring: here too, the four-leaf clover is the star and is rendered in brilliant stones on the rose gold plate at the center of this jewel. A perfect accessory as a good luck gift idea for a romantic and girly friend.

Last but not least, the Cubiamo pink leather bracelet, with a silver charm that represents a cute ladybug, to wear on any occasion!

<![CDATA[What is the meaning of precious gemstones?]]> https://www.nomination.com/world/blog/precious-gemstones-meaning/

Not just colourful and beautiful: many different meanings have been attributed to the natural gemstones that have adorned jewellery over the centuries. Very often you even hear about crystal therapy: what is that about? According to the supporters of this discipline, each natural gemstone has a specific beneficial power that helps to stimulate the natural energies and the spirit of each individual in some way.

What are the properties associated with precious gemstones? Here are the fun facts, legends and the beneficial effects that over the centuries have been associated with some of the most famous precious gems.

Gems with anti-stress and relaxing properties

Properties that can calm the energies are attributed to different natural gemstones, creating a calm, tranquil and harmonious mood. All the stones we are talking about have cool colours: from pure light blue to intense turquoise to deep purple.

Acquamarina is the gemstone with a soft and delicate blue coloration, just like the crystalline waters of an exotic and uncontaminated sea.

According to crystal therapy, wearing this gemstone would help to increase courage and dialogue with one's inner self, favoring positive changes and the reduction of tensions and stress associated with the misunderstandings of one's being.

This gorgeous crystal is the protector gemstone of the Zodiac sign Pisces, that is for those born between the end of February and the month of March: create your lucky charm bracelet by adding the charm with aquamarine to always carry with you!


Turquoise is the second gemstone in blue tones that favors relaxation and fights negativity, helping interpersonal relationships and creating an atmosphere of widespread harmony.

This gem is usually associated with the sign Sagittarius and people born in the month of December, who can wear it as a good luck amulet to face with all the potentially stressful situations of everyday life.


Another stone to which relaxed and anti-stress properties are derived is Amethyst, a particular purple quartz highly appreciated for its beauty.

It is said that wearing jewellery made with amethyst favors a lucid and harmonious decision-making process and the ability to solve problems in a calm and quiet way.

There are so many Links in the Composable collection decorated with Amethyst, dedicated to those looking for a positive energy gemstone and especially to those born under the sign of Aquarius, between the end of January and February.

Stones with positive mood properties

Many gemstones contain positive energies that affect mood, favoring cheerfulness and happiness. What are they? Among the most beautiful we find Olivina (or Peridot) and Topaz, two stones that are very different from each other but very much appreciated for jewellery and lucky amulets.

Peridot is usually associated with the sign Leo and the hot month of August: its color is a vibrant and energetic green, which in itself transmits vitality and joy. According to some legends, this gemstone has been known and used for thousands of years because it can make dreams come true. How? Thanks to its powers, which are said to be able to infuse confidence and prosperity.

In nature there are so many different colours, depending on the amount of minerals and other elements that contaminate the colorless surface, but the most famous and most used in jewellery creation is blue: we are talking about Topaz, the second happiness gemstone.

Symbol of pure and true feelings, Topaz is also known as the gemstone symbol of friendship and love. Wearing it means always having with you a positive energy charge that helps you face every situation with a smile.

Scorpio and those born in the month of November will be particularly protected by Topaz's energy.



Gemstones with stimulating properties for creativity and inspiration

On the other hand, the capacity to stimulate inspiration and creativity is attributed to other natural gemstones: Amber and Rock Crystal (Quartz) are the two elements bearing brilliant ideas and simple solutions to problems.


According to some legends, Amber was already used in ancient times as a protector amulet against inner fears and insecurities.

Jewellery decorated with amber not only enhances protection and positivity, but are also highly appreciated for their beauty, thanks to the warm caramel color of this gemstone.

The origins of Rock Crystal are also shrouded in legends. It seems that this crystal was discovered many centuries ago and the ancient peoples appreciated its pure beauty, even though they did not understand its nature.

The Ancient Greeks, for example, thought they were simply solidified water, therefore, ice: this can be guessed by its name as Krustallos in Greek means "ice".

The power to bring balance was associated with the gem’s transparency in those times: a benefit that stimulates thought positively, prompting one to be more curious and intuitive.



Gemstones that favor wisdom and meditation

According to Crystal Therapy, some gemstones favor the meditative side of the human being, making it more wise and sensible. What are the natural gemstones that bring these benefits?

The first is Sapphire, the blue gemstone par excellence, commonly considered as the protective stone of people born in September, under the sign of Virgo.

Personalise your Composable bracelet with a charm decorated with Sapphire: balance, self-discipline and ingenuity are stimulated by the intrinsic energy of this stone.

The second gemstone of wisdom is Agate, a gem that in nature takes on many different colours due to its volcanic origin. To each colour different nuances of meaning are attributed, though Agate generally represents inner balance, integrity, meditation, and relaxation.

<![CDATA[Autumn Winter Fashion 2017/18: Trending Colours]]> https://www.nomination.com/world/blog/autumn-winter-fashion-2017-2018-trending-colours/

We are well into fall and winter is nearly at the door: the coldest seasons of the year are here. If you usually think of this time of the year as mostly gray days, this time you need to put that sad view away: Autumn-Winter 2017-2018 is based on colour!

Bright colours, extravagant prints and eye-catching accessories: there is no doubt, fashion trends for fall-winter this year are funner than ever! Colour, in particular, will be a key element for the most fashionable winter outfits: need any pointers?

Let's discover the fashion colours of the season, how to wear them and what accessories to choose for a look that is all the rage!

A timeless classic: red

The fashion colour for autumn-winter 2017-18 is undoubtedly red, a vibrant colour that is daring and never ordinary, like an all scarlet look. From masculine pantsuits, to long overcoats and accessories, shoes and handbags included: everything will tinge of this nuance, to wear in all its shades.

From coral to carmine, from cardinal to burgundy: in short, all that is left to do is choose the splash of red we like and flaunt it all day, to cheer us up on rainy days or brighten the darkest nights. If you do not want to dare too much with color-blocking, you can choose to brighten your very neutral coloured look by wearing red accessories.

A good option to wear red is to do it through jewellery: what about a bracelet decorated with red stones or charms in scarlet enamel?


The Composable Classic Wedding Bracelet incorporates the splendor of white Cubic Zirconia stones with sweet symbols painted in red enamel: for a precious bracelet that represents all the best moments in a couple’s life.

Alternatively, opt for a combination of colour and precious metals. Any suggestions? Red and rose gold: a match that is hard to beat to choose for details of your Extension Bracelet, a piece to wear any time of day. The large faceted red stone is the feature of this steel bracelet, enriched by elegant plates in rose gold. To be worn together with other bracelets of the same shades for special occasions.


Do you want to personalise your Composable Bracelet in line with fashion trends for fall-winter 2017-2018? Choose some of the precious Links with scarlet details, such as those enriched with brilliant stones. Choose your favorites and create your own personalised bracelet!

Yellow that warms up each day

The second shade of the season is another primary color: yellow, shiny and cheerful, to match with classic black or neutral nature colours to liven up every outfit with great class. Yellow, as opposed to red, on high-fashion runways for autumn and winter is chosen for a single garment or an extravagant accessory, which will immediately become the focal point of the look.

Even in this case, accessories and jewellery with yellow details could be the right way to wear this brilliant seasonal color.


A steel bracelet embellished with a large yellow stone is the right choice to subtly brighten any outfit: add it to your Composable bracelet and wear one of the most beautiful fashion colours of the autumn-winter 2017-2018 season!

Did you know that floral prints don’t go out of fashion with the arrival of the cold season? If you think that flowery and colourful garments are to be worn only in spring then you are wrong, because for this season flowers will decorate all the most beautiful outfits.

In particular, jewellery and accessories are most suited to fill a look with colourful flowers: why not indulge in two of the most fashionable seasonal trends and choose to embellish your look with yellow flowers? Here is a Link with Yellow Flower to add to your Composable bracelet in the latest fashion.

Opt for classic yellow gold to wear this brilliant colour with class: the Bella la Vita Bracelet will satisfy even the most demanding women!


Alternatively, the piece to choose to wear shining yellow gold is a glittering necklace: the romantic Stella collection Necklace with small pendant is ideal for brightening every winter outfit.

This autumn-winter elegance is dyed in blue

As far as colours go, we all know that Pantone is the world's authority. What, according to the leading colour expert, is the nuance that will even replace classic and elegant black during the next autumn-winter season? Blue, or even better, Navy Peony.

We are talking about classic and timeless Navy Blue, offered this season in a more delicate shade, which allows it to match any other seasonal colour: that is why it is thought that it could even replace black. How can you liven up outfits created with Navy Peony? By combining jewellery and accessories with blue details!


The accessory that never goes out of style is a watch, which should be chosen with a blue face: the stainless steel band is customizable with Composable Classic Links so you can transform your accessory every season.

Choose elegant charms decorated with blue details so you can look perfect on any occasion with your shining steel bracelet: a romantic blue heart-shaped stone to sparkle on the most special evenings, the charm with delicate cashmere decoration, for an exotic and extremely alluring touch.

How can men interpret this fashion colour? Accessories will also be the protagonists of the biggest men's fashion trends for fall-winter.


A modern accessory is what is needed for this cold season: the Trendsetter steel bracelet finished in elegant PVD blue is the men's bracelet that is right for outfits that are either casual or very chic.

Agile, cold, independent, and sometimes suddenly affectionate: cats are among the most beloved animals by grown ups and kids account of their unpredictable character.

<![CDATA[Gifts for an 18th birthday: original ideas for an important milestone]]> https://www.nomination.com/world/blog/gifts-18th-birthday-original-ideas/

Among all the birthdays that are celebrated in life, one in particular is the most special because it brings with it many intrinsic meanings: we are of course talking about what marks the passage to adulthood. In most countries around the world one becomes an adult when they turn 18 - this applies to almost all of Europe, most of the Americas and for a large part of Africa.

Reaching adulthood means for all young men and women to fully enter into "the grown up world", not only in a legal sense but also from a symbolic point of view. Becoming an adult makes every young person truly responsible for himself and his actions: the protected and pampered years of childhood end as if by magic and a little by little we learn how to be adults.

Entering into adulthood with big celebrations

To mark this step, lavish and unforgettable celebrations are a must: after all, how many times do you go from being a teen to an adult?

The custom of inviting friends and relatives to big birthday parties that celebrate adulthood come from the United States and Latin America. Here, the symbolic passage from childhood to adulthood is celebrated by organizing large parties at the disco, the pool or at home in the garden, even getting the entire neighborhood involved in celebrations that can last a whole day.

It should be emphasized that the symbolic passage to the grown-up world does not necessarily correspond to reaching adulthood on paper. In American culture, this is believed to be at the age of 16, and that is why the big celebrations mentioned before took on the name "Sweet Sixteen", despite the fact that in the United States one becomes an adult at the age of 18 - except for the States of Alabama and Nebraska, where the age is 19, and Mississippi, where it happens at 21.

The same goes for the tradition of many countries in South America, where "Quinceañera" is celebrated outlandishly: in Latin American culture it is thought that girls become women at the age of 15. These big celebrations are therefore reserved only for young women.

Whatever the age at which it is celebrated, adulthood and all its meanings are now being honoured at big parties in many countries around the world. If you are invited to the big coming of age party of someone you love, there is just one dilemma: what do you give a young man or a woman for such a special birthday?

Have no fear: here are some suggestions for choosing the right gift for an 18th! A piece of jewellery with special meaning will be a big surprise, for her, as well as for him!

Gifts for him and her: Links dedicated to adulthood around the world

A simple gift with big impact that will always remind the birthday boy/girl of the special celebration when they reached adulthood: what is it? Charms with numbers symbolising this milestone, to add to a personalised Composable bracelet!


In many countries the big celebrations are reserved for the age of eighteen: a Link with the number 18 stamped in gold figures is the perfect choice for a young man. For a girl you can choose a more glamorous touch, with age "18" written in brilliant stones!

If you have been invited to a quirky "Sweet Sixteen" you can choose the charm with the number 16, stamped on a red enamel heart.

In some countries around the world, however, it is necessary to wait for the 21st birthday: here is a charm with the number 21 in red enamel and gold details, for a gift that will make the achievement of this milestone memorable.

Gift Ideas for an 18-year-old girl

If you are looking for a gift idea for a girl that is turning 18, you can opt for a piece with special meaning, which will always remind her of the special moment.


The Glitter Nights Composable Bracelet, for example, is the perfect gift to capture the memory of the very special celebrations of a girl who has become an adult.

Why choose this piece? For its brilliant gold details and the strong and clear hymn it bears: "Live", because life is beautiful and full of surprises!

Looking for other gift ideas for a special 18th? Here are a few more tips!

Gift ideas for a 18 year old guy


Let's talk now about jewellery and the accessories for him: even the transformation from a boy to a man deserves a special gift!

A timeless accessory, worn by every distinguished and classy man, a watch is the gift idea that always works. For the birthday symbolizing the passage to adulthood, the perfect watch is the one that adapts to every outfit and every occasion: The Time Collection Watch, with case and face in Steel and Nomination silicone band could be what does it in your case.

But the modern man certainly does not limit his accessories to a watch: bracelets with real character and strong soul are very trendy among young guys and men today.


The Rubber and Steel Bracelet from the Steelikons Collection perfectly embodies all the the features for the perfect passage to adulthood gift: the rock inspired studs and skull meets a new elegance thanks to the stones and refined crafting of the bracelet.

For more tips on the best gifts for a guy, here's a full list!

September has arrived: holidays are a sweet memory and normal life has restarted at full speed. But that’s not all: resuming normal routines also means reflecting on one's lifestyle and making good resolutions for it, often making the decision to engage in some sports activity.

<![CDATA[What to give to a new mum: not just a baby bottle!]]> https://www.nomination.com/world/blog/what-to-give-to-a-new-mum-jewellery/

The birth of a baby boy or girl is a time of great joy for the whole family: not only mum and dad, but also friends and relatives want to celebrate the happy event as it should be. One of the most time-honoured traditions connected to a child's birth is bringing a gift for the new mum when visiting to meet the new arrival.

So what are the best gifts for new mums? A lot of people choose objects such as baby bottles, pacifiers, onesies and clothes for the newborn: they are undoubtedly very useful gifts, but all are dedicated to the little one instead of his mum.

A new mum, even before being a mum, is in fact a woman: a strong, very busy and sometimes tested woman, looking at all the things she does to care for her family's well-being, let alone with the arrival of a little one!

So the right gift for a new mum is one that makes her forget about all the commitments and concerns for a moment: a gift that will make her rediscover her femininity and make her feel like a woman again and no longer just a mum.

What is the best choice, if not some priceless jewellery she can wear every day to remember never to give up her own womanhood? Here is a selection of jewellery for new mums: choose the perfect gift and make a special lady even happier!

#1 Family Composable Classic Bracelet
A priceless bracelet made of colorful stones and brilliant details: the My-Family brand Nomination Bracelet is the perfect blend of femininity and dedication to the family. Each of the links that makes up the bracelet represents a small part of mum’s life and affection: there is the brilliant charm with the word "Mum", the one dedicated to the children and, of course, the one dedicated to love, as well as to dad . The big pink stones alternating with charms give an instant touch of glamour to this piece, which is the perfect accessory to wear even in the everyday life of an extremely busy new mum!

#2 Trendsetter Bracelet with Hearts
For those who want to honour a new mum with a trendy accessory, without sacrificing the sweetness typical of all mums, they can choose a steel bracelet with delicate gold finish.


Yellow or rose, the gold of the Trendsetter bracelet will brighten even more the sweet smile of the woman who receives it. A blessing that is rich in tenderness, thanks to the many little hearts that decorate and distinguishes this piece.

#3 Mamma Composable Classic Bracelet
A piece dedicated to mum and her baby boy: the Composable bracelet decorated with the tender baby-blue pacifier and a Double Link all for mum. Made of steel and embellished with precious details in silver, baby-blue enamel and Cubic Zirconia, the Nomination bracelet is a fashionable accessory that lends itself to being worn in everyday life and with every outfit, from the more casual to the more refined. To celebrate femininity in all its forms!

#4 Mother & Son Composable Classic Bracelet
Not to be missed is a piece dedicated to the unique relationship between a mum and her baby boy: the Mamma e figlio Composable Classic bracelet is the perfect gift for the new mum that gave birth to a handsome little boy. The unmistakable Composable steel links are decorated in this case by tender symbols that represent maternity: the feet of a newborn baby boy, a bright heart, the charm with the word "Mum".


Cubic Zirconia, silver and blue enamel enhance the precious details of this Composable bracelet, for a piece to wear all day long.

#5 Star Necklace
Bring out the new mum’s femininity with an important piece: an invitation for some mum to indulge her inner self, perhaps wearing that elegant dress that has been in the closet for a while. The necklace decorated with stars and Cubic Zirconia is the perfect gift to surprise and astonish that gorgeous new mum: a piece that will light up the face of the wearer, giving a new light to each woman.

#6 Roseblush Big Heart Earrings
The heart of a new mum is the biggest one there is. The joy of seeing your child's birth, to protect and help to grow strong and healthy, is so great that it cannot be described. What is the symbol to give to a sweet woman like a new mum? The heart is definitely the best one, provided it is big and bright!


A pair of earrings decorated with openwork heart pendants is a delicate gift idea to wish the best to a new mum: the warm tones of rose gold will match perfectly with the sweet smile that distinguishes every beautiful mum!

#7 "It's a Boy" Composable Classic Link

If our new mum already has a Composable bracelet, the right gift for her is definitely a new link to add to the personalized bracelet that tells her story. The "It's a Boy" charm speaks of this happy event with a heart with engraving in gold and another small and delicate baby-blue enamel heart.

<![CDATA[Dog lover: always bring your dog with you!]]> https://www.nomination.com/world/blog/jewellery-bracelets-link-dog-lover/

After a full day of work, the frantic racing from one place to another while dealing with business and errands, city traffic and all the daily tasks and concerns, the only thing you want in the evening is to go home and relax. But what awaits us at home is even better than just relaxation: as a matter of fact, behind the door there is someone who has waited all day long for our return, ready to go wild as soon as we walk through the door.

Naturally, that someone is our super-faithful four-legged friend: our dog, who makes us feel comforted and cared for every time we return home. Needless to say, our life would be very different, less joyful, and much more ordinary, without our adorable dog.

For all the world's dog lovers, here are the Nomination Links dedicated to our little furry friends: there's something for all breeds and all occasions, so you can tell the story of your great friendship with your personalised Composable Bracelet!



#1 Composable Classic Link with Dog Charm in Gold
You never forget that first sweet look you shared with the puppy that would become your best friend: here is a precious dog-shaped charm that will always remind you of the moment you chose each other!

Dogs are also beloved by children: how many little kids say that among their first wishes is to have a dog that they love? Here is a link decorated with a symbol in gold with white stones: a perfect gift idea for all kids who love dogs!


#4 Bone Composable Classic Link
Feeding time is one of the times of the day that our little dog waits for the longest, and one of the funnest: and what wouldn’t our dog do to get a between-meal snack?

#5 Scottish Terrier Composable Classic Link
Playful, independent and self-confident: Scottish Terriers are one of the oldest breeds, so much so that their origins are still unknown today. What is certain, however, is that the Scottish Terrier is one of the most charming dogs there are, with his very pronounced fluffy eyebrows and whiskers!

#6 My Dog Composable Big Link
Links dedicated to animal friends aren’t the only ones to add to your Composable Classic bracelet: double your affection with a Composable Big Link and always have your faithful dog with you, personalising the Composable Big bracelet!



#7 Dog Footprint Composable Big Link
Their scampering breaks the cold silence of our home, while footprints are the unmistakable proof of the little troubles that our puppies and little dogs sometimes get into at home.

Choose the Big Link with the footprint if you think that the ordinariness of being home without your faithful canine would be too boring.

#8 Sitting Brown Dog Composable Classic Link
The wait - which seems to be endless - before the master returns home: is there a better image to describe it, except the Link with the sitting dog in gold and enamel? Your four-legged friend can’t wait for you to get home soon!

#9 Dog Pendant with stones Composable Classic Link
If you are an animal lover, and you cannot go without a touch of glamour, what about this shiny little dog shaped charm? Made of silver and Cubic Zirconia, this pendant will make you sparkle even in the most mundane occasions!

#10 Black and White Dog Composable Link
The very famous animated film "101 Dalmatians" has made them one of the most beloved dog breeds: Dalmatians stand out from all the other dogs for their distinctive straight, white fur, adorned with black spots. Here is a link that reminds us of those cute puppies: an idea to create a perfect piece of jewellery for kids!

<![CDATA[Engrave your message to make it unique with Nomination!]]> https://www.nomination.com/world/blog/engrave-your-message-make-unique-jewellery-nomination/

Memories are a precious asset, a little treasure that each of us safeguards in his own way, fishing a little gem out every now and then to brighten any day. Keeping the memories alive is important: who doesn’t think of a happy moment from the past when feeling a bit down?

Helping this little treasure to grow and stay more beautiful and shiny than ever isn’t so difficult: for every great time we always take away an object, a photo, a ticket that makes us feel all the emotions again just looking at it. Because every special moment deserves a keepsake that is just as special.

An engraving in metal makes every moment indelible. An engraving makes any object unique: choose jewellery with engraving to make every moment memorable. Are you still looking for the right way to give a keepsake to a person you love?

Love keepsakes for him and for her

Love is certainly what impresses more memories in our mind: just think of how many moments that step-by-step make up this long journey called "love." The first date, the first walks together, the embarrassment, the first kiss and then the anniversaries, living together, to daily life together, the funny traits, the romantic traits: in short, love really leaves so many memories that deserve to be celebrated, just the way they are.


Write your long love story on the Composable Double Link: for her, delicate Rose Gold, for him, shining Silver. Engrave your messages and compose your personalised bracelets. A special gift idea that will accompany you on the long journey you have undertaken together.

Anniversary or your better half’s birthday? A piece of jewellery with personalised engraving is the romantic gift you were looking for.

A modern style bracelet to wear on any occasion is enriched with precious details in gold: a charm with a sparkling heart and a plate ready to bear your love note. The gift idea for your girlfriend or wife to remember a birthday or a special anniversary!


And for him? The personalised gift that carries a love note is the Trendsetter Men's Bracelet with Steel Plate. Unlike the bracelet for her, this piece of jewellery with engraving will carry your words on the back of the plate, guarding a secret message that will only reach your boyfriend or husband.

Special moments to remember in the family

The family also gives many reasons to carry a special keepsake every day. The family is always present in all the events that mark life and change, sometimes revolutionising it: a precious engraving in metal is the perfect symbol to remember a special once-in-a-lifetime occasion.


Put together a personalised Composable Bracelet with Composable Classic Links engraved with a special message for your loved ones: there is one for all the people you love!

The Link in silver to send your dad a special message on his birthday, the one in Rose Gold to dedicate a sweet thought to a wonderful new-mother. Yellow gold, precious and shiny, is the plate to be engraved for once-in-a-lifetime occasions: a brother or sister’s college degree, for example, which represents an unforgettable and proud day for the whole family.

A friend is a real treasure

You share everything with a friend (male or female): secrets, laughter, sad moments, experiences, travels. All this leaves indelible imprints on the mind and heart which soon become memories: memories that would never be the same without the friend who was with us in that moment.


Share the same memories, keeping them alive with shared accessories. Friendship bracelets or pendants are not a new invention: there are really so many pieces of jewellery dedicated to best friends!

But why not be inspired by these ideas to create your own personal and unique friendship jewellery? A phrase that only you and your best friend know the meaning of, the invented jargon you tell the secrets with, a word that is only yours.

There are so many ideas to create personalised jewellery for you and your best friends: but what are the accessories to choose from?


The Double Link in Gold, to add a new and very personal piece to your Composable Bracelets: a gift idea that tells the story of your very special bond.

For your friend for all time, a keychain to take with him at all times: the elegant hexagonal shape of the Class jewellery collection for men is made of the most durable steel and allows you to personalise the back with your shared life’s motto!

And for the best girlfriend who has been accompanying us since school? A precious steel and gold bracelet to customise with your special message may be the gift that suits your needs. Choose the Extension Messages Edition bracelet with the infinity symbol: because the bond with a friend will never break, whatever happens in life!

<![CDATA[Return to the city: 10 Links to get started on the right foot!]]> https://www.nomination.com/world/blog/return-city-10-links-get-started-on-the-right-foot/

The holidays end, work resumes at full speed, the first bell of the year for children and teens: it is time to return to everyday life, with all its routines and all our habits. What does it mean?

Young ones will soon return to school: the maths homework that seems to be the biggest and most fearsome hurdle to face in life, the hours spent at the desks that never seem to end, the ever-present wait for recess.

But let's admit it: over the years, we all start to think of those school days with nostalgia, remembering them as the good old days, made of laughter and moments of cheerfulness with our schoolmates. Older ones, in fact, are getting ready to go back to work: so many things to get done quickly, fast-paced rhythms that start up again, and so little free time available. Sometimes we wish we were back in school!

What is the best way to deal with this period? First of all, let’s also think a little of ourselves! You should never forget to set aside some free time for sports, fun activities, our passions or just a little relaxation! This applies to both older and younger ones.

Here are the 10 Composable Links that tell all about the return to normal life. Add them to your personalized bracelet: adding a new accessory might be the right way to soften this traumatic return a little bit! Additionally, you can choose Links dedicated to children and teens to wish your children, grandchildren, or siblings a successful school year.



#1 Book Composable Classic Link in Gold
Among the school desks the book represents knowledge, the source of valuable information and the loyal companion of many hours spent trying to memorize information for the assignment in class. Outside of class, books are a way to escape, explore new worlds and rekindle the imagination.

#2 Links with Numbers
The fear of a maths assignment is widespread among students: a personalized bracelet with their lucky numbers will make the figures, operations and even the most complicated equation less frightening!

#3 Football Composable Classic Link
Study and work are important, but you should never forget about your hobbies and passions: who doesn’t enjoy playing football with friends?



#4 Note Composable Classic Link
And when it's not sports, the passion that takes up leisure time by making the mind drift away is music. Is he or she a musician or just a listener? The Composable Link with the golden note will in any case be a very appreciated piece!

#5 Best Friends Composable Classic Double Link
A friend is the one you trust when you have too much to worry about, the person with whom you share your secrets and is always present when you want to relax and chat a bit after work or school. Here is the Link that reminds you when it is important to have friendship: in every period of life.

#6 Bicycle Composable Classic Link in Gold
With the return to daily routines, you should never forget good habits to stay fit and feel good about yourself: leaving your car at home and taking the bike to work or simply taking a ride around the city is the right idea!



#7 Four-leaf Clover Composable Classic Link in Silver
A pinch of luck never hurts: here is the four-leaf clover charm for the Composable bracelet, the perfect gift idea for a student who is about to start a new school year full of surprises, but also to wish someone a happy return to the workplace after holidays.

<![CDATA[Italy, good wine and excellent food: the go-to places ]]> https://www.nomination.com/world/blog/itineraries-wine-food-summer-holidays-italy/

Italian beauties are famous all over the world: not only when it comes to monuments, arts and landscapes, but also for food and wine tourism! No surprise the mediterranean diet, to whom italian food tradition belongs to, has been included in the Unesco Intangible Cultural Heritage List in 2010.

A few regions specifically are rich in local products that are still produced as they used to in the past: things to be discovered, such as the lands that host such a treasure. Which territories are we talking about? We are referring to the areas of Central Italy where it looks like time has stopped, and where the still untouched nature of the countryside offer solace to who is willing to escape the chaos of the city: Tuscany, Umbria and Marche.

Here’s a short guide to the enogastronomic itineraries of the most beautiful italian countrysides: the products, the food and the typical wines not to be missed during an all-Italian vacation, alongside with, of course, the most “tasty” Links to be added to your Composable bracelet to remember it!

A tour of Tuscany, the land of Chianti

Rich in beauties to be discovered, such as historical cities and breathtaking landscapes, Tuscany undoubtedly is one of the most recommended places to start your discovery journey of italian enogastronomic tradition from. Which is the area we really can’t miss if we want to discover the region’s specialties? Chianti area.

Geographically speaking, it lies amongst Florence and Siena counties and it discloses itself as a spectacular rural landscape: gentle hills, vineyards and olive groves, where the only non-green cracks are given by small villages and old ancient “case coloniche”. Which are the local delicacies? From the combination of the genuineness of the local products, Panzanella is one of the not-to-be-missed dishes, made with stale Tuscan bread, toasted and seasoned with fresh tomatoes, onions, cucumbers and basil. Most certainly, to go alongside with a good glass of Chianti wine, the iconic local production: the Link to dedicate to your vacation in the Tuscan countryside is the one reminding of the excellent local red wine!

However, you can’t leave this amazing area without having paid a visit to the main towns surrounding it.


Florence, the capital city of the region, is the quintessentially city of art: monuments, museums and art galleries are around each corner, and you can actually feel Renaissance in the air. It’s impossible not to fall in love with it! The perfect souvenir to always keep the memory of it it’s the Link dedicated to Florence Cathedral Dome.

Another historical town in the area is Siena, one of the most beautiful places in Tuscany, where everything reminds of the Middle Age. The symbol of the city is, in fact, the famous Piazza del Campo, unique for its shell-shape and renowned all over the world for the twice-a-year Medieval horse-race taking place in it, the Palio di Siena. Is there a better way of always keeping it next to you other than a Link to be added to your bracelet?

Staying in Siena’s areas, a stop in San Gimignano, another little medieval gem to be discovered and which historic centre is a Unesco World Heritage site, a good reason to stop there to admire its beauty and to keep the memory of it with the special Link, is mandatory.

Umbria, a culinary tradition on its own

Italy’s heart, Umbria, is a land to be discovered, both for the beauties you can admire and the food you can try. The typicality of the local kitchen lies all in its uniqueness: as it hasn’t been subjected to the influence of the surrounding regions, it is still true to its origins coming from ancient populations.

The delicious and internationally renowned cold cuts produced in Norcia (such as the famous Prosciutto IGP), coming from the best local pork meats, the cereal and legumes based dishes and the tasty first courses, such as strozzapreti, similar to tagliatelle but shorter and thicker, to be paired with a rich ragù.


Whether they are strozzapreti, tagliatelle or penne, Italy is definitely known all over the world for the quality of its excellent pasta, a dish not to be missed whenever in Italy you decided to go on vacation to. The Link to be added to your Composable to remember an Italian holiday can only be a tasty dish of steaming pasta.

Umbria is the only region of the peninsular area of Italy with no direct access to the sea and it’s mostly hilly. It is a land of untouched landscapes and sinuous valleys, scattered with ancient villages. Another perfect Link to pay homage to this region is, in fact, the one dedicated to the territory: a landscape reminding of green sunkissed Umbria hills

Another typical feature of Italy is the warm welcome italians address to their guests. It’s easy to feel at home in Umbria, as you are pampered with good food, good company, smiles and conviviality wherever you go. Here’s a bracelet summing up all of these values, to keep the memory of this passionate and lively experience.

Marche, an heterogeneous landscape for a multifaceted kitchen

A varied region, extending from the Apennine mountains to the Adriatic coast: we are talking about Marche, whose enogastronomic tradition is as multifaceted as its beautiful landscapes are.

Over 20 controlled denominations of origin come from the vineyards of the region, that has been the first one to rely exclusively on local grapes for wine production. The most famous grape in Marche is Verdicchio, from which the same name’s white wine is famous all over Italy. If you are lucky enough to try it in its production area, you have to keep the memory with the good Link.

Vines in Marche region offer a wide selection of white, red, dry and sweet wines, to go with any kind of food. In the case you’re vacation has been organised for wine tasting, here’s another Link to be added to your Composable: a wine bottle, representing the wide variety of Marche region wines.

As for food, there are several Adriatic fish specialties, but also cured and cold meats with different levels of richness in flavour.

Heterogeneity is the main feature of Marche region, to be discovered with a tour from the mountains to the sea, savouring the specialties we find along the route.

How to choose the good Link for this vacation? If it was love for food the thing that led you there in the first place, the Link to be added to your Composable is a table set...wholeheartedly!

<![CDATA[Here's how to put together the Nomination bracelet and personalize your watch]]> https://www.nomination.com/world/blog/put-together-nomination-bracelet-personalize-your-watch/

Composable is the bracelet symbol of Nomination brand jewellery: an invention that revolutionized the landscape of Italian valuables, becoming a real style icon that is imitated around the world.

A valuable, artisanal and quality bracelet , with a modern design, affordable price and, moreover customizable: a never-before-seen idea for jewellery that marked the beginning of Composable's success story.

Made of many steel links that are connected with an innovative spring mechanism, the bracelet is customizable with the addition of new links: dalle lettere ai simboli, dalle pietre preziose ai charms, il catalogo di Nomination si arricchisce ogni stagione a seconda delle ultime tendenze moda.

But how do you add new links to your Composable bracelet?? The operation is simpler than ever: you can put together your own personalized bracelet! Not only do you choose how to compose it and in what order to assemble the links, but you can also easily add them on your own.

Here are the three steps to customize your Composable:

#1#Stretch out the bracelet links

The first thing to do to insert a new link into your Composable is to stretch out the links that make it up, gently pulling it at the two ends as if it were an elastic band: thanks to the spring mechanism that connects all the links to each other, it's really simple. And the action is even easier if you use the Link separator that Nomination designed for the thirtieth anniversary of the brand.

#2 Unhook the links

Once the links are stretched out, grab the two links between which you want to insert your new personalized tile: the two are linked by a sort of hook that is invisible whilst wearing the bracelet. With a bit of skill and patience, separating them will get easier and you can do it on your own.

#3 Add the new link

All Composable Links are equipped with the same system that makes it easy to connect one to the other. The operation to add the new tile to the bracelet is therefore exactly the opposite of the one described in step #2: use the existing hooks in the link to insert it between the two previously separated.

And that's it! So you can reinvent your bracelet whenever you want, adding from time to time that piece that tells something new about you and your story.

Our trick: Try not to leave a Link on its own. Two or three links in a row are more manageable and with enough experience your fingers will know how to take apart and put together the bracelet quickly.

Did you know that the same spring mechanism is also used for the steel watch bands in the Time collection? That is how a watch becomes a piece to customize as you wish, either for yourself or as a special gift to someone you love.

<![CDATA[The 3 most beloved Italian cities of all time: Florence, Rome, Venice]]> https://www.nomination.com/world/blog/italian-art-cities-florence-rome-venice-jewellery-holiday/

Rich in beauties of great artistic and cultural interest, every year Italy and its cities are one of the most popular destinations for summer holidays. Every corner is steeped in centuries of history: the Italian peninsula was the cradle of the Roman Empire, as well as the center of the Renaissance and its energetic movement, two cultures that have left clear signs of their passing in the cities of the territory. Suffice it to think that Italy holds 51 of the 1,052 World Heritage sites: from villas to archeological sites, palaces, churches and castles to the beauties of nature and even entire cities.

Between the beauties to visit, the extremely pleasant Mediterranean climate and the local cuisine, Italy - great in all its forms - offers so many possibilities that choosing which place to go for your holidays becomes really complicated.

If you too are thinking of planning a holiday in search of art and culture, here is a quick guide to three Italian cities the world loves most for all their treasures: Florence, Rome and Venice. Leave for your dream vacation and take with you a special reminder of every single moment: create your own personalized bracelet with Composable Links dedicated to the beauties of Italian cities.

# 1 Florence, a trip to the cradle of the Renaissance

A city made of picturesque streets to get lost in, surrounded on every corner by beautiful things to admire: Florence is the perfect destination for a true holiday in search of art and culture. Amongst the most can’t miss places, there is a complex that is unique among its kind in the heart of the city that brings together a group of buildings with elevated artistic value: the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore with its famous Dome designed by Brunelleschi, Giotto's Bell-tower and the Baptistery of St. John.


Always take with you the memory of these majestic works, with the Composable Link dedicated to the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, also known as the "Florence Cathedral".

And then there is the Uffizi Gallery, which with its wealth of collections and works of every age and place, is one of the finest museums in the world. Some of the most famous works by Raphael, Botticelli, Giotto, Titian, and Caravaggio are among the pieces on exhibit here.

But Florence also gives special moments to those who simply like to walk about aimlessly: the romantic landscapes of Lungarno, the Old Bridge, the hidden gardens and the Renaissance palaces steal the hearts of every traveler. Remember Florence and all its beauty with the city’s coat of arms, the the Lily, which has been the symbol of the city since the eleventh century: in this version, delicately designed with gold for a precious charm.

# 2 Roman Holidays

The capital of Italy is one of the favorite cities for those who are looking for a truly unique holiday: its majestic monuments, the popular tradition rooted in the territory, the heterogeneous landscape that characterizes it, make Rome a place full of surprises.

The only question when faced with the immensity of the Eternal City is: where to start? To see it all, one life is not enough, so a holiday in Rome requires a good plan. An obvious can’t miss is the Colosseum, the largest amphitheater in the world, which was an ancient theater for gladiatorial performances and shows.


For the majesty of the Colosseum to remain imprinted forever in your memories, here is the perfect piece to celebrate its eternal beauty: the Link with the miniature Colosseum in finest silver, to add to the personalized bracelet that tells the story of your holiday.

One cannot go without mentioning the myth about the city’s origin: the Capitoline Wolf is one of its symbols and is the protagonist of a famous legend about the founding of the city. In fact, the she-wolf fed Romulus and Remus, the two children who were ordered to be killed by their great uncle Amulio, because once they became adults, they would be a potential threat to his throne in the city of Alba Longa. The guard who was given the task did not have the courage to carry it out, so he left the children in the Tiber River inside a basket: this is where the she-wolf came in, feeding the children until the shepherd Faustolo began taking care of them, who along with his wife raised them as their children.

Legend has it that the two came to know their origins and took revenge on their great uncle for the wrongs suffered, finally deciding to found their own city: Rome. It was Romulus who succeeded in the task: several misunderstandings kept the two brothers in continuous conflict, that culminated with the death of Remus and the coronation of Romulus as the first king of Rome in 753 BC. The wolf and this legend have become a precious charm to wear: here is the symbol of the Eternal City Link.

# 3 Venice, a pearl to discover

A truly unique city in the world, rich in little treasures to discover: Venice, which with its romantic soul has fascinated all its guests from time immemorial.

Its uniqueness is already discovered by the narrow streets that run through it: here, in fact, they are called "calli", as well as the squares (piazzas), called "campi" and "campielli". The only piazza that has this name reserved is the majestic St. Mark's Square(Piazza San Marco), home to the homonymous Basilica and Bell-tower, originally built in 1173 with the function of illuminating the horizon for passing ships and then rebuilt completely after its collapse at the beginning of the last century. Next to the Basilica, another of the monument symbols of the city: the Ducal Palace, once the seat of the government of the Venetian Republic (la Serenissima), is today open to the public for tours of the interior and temporary exhibitions hosted in its halls.


An obligatory stop on a stroll through Venice is the Rialto Bridge, which is undoubtedly the most famous of the 435 bridges linking the old town's islets. Is there a better memory of the city than a precious charm decorated with the miniature Rialto Bridge in silver?

But in Venice it is also nice to get lost in its calli and campielli, savoring the most authentic tradition of the city, from the ancient artisan workshops that still produce the characteristic Venetian masks to the workshops of master glassblowers who forge glass sculptures and ornaments, mainly on the Island of Murano. And then there are the canals that wind through the old town offering picturesque views to all visitors: the ever-present gondolas, the typically Venetian crafts that offer the opportunity to navigate the city as it once was done. In memory of a fantastic gondola ride, include the piece that represents it, on your Composable after your romantic holiday in Venice.

<![CDATA[Invited to a Wedding? Maid-of-honor or Bridesmaid? Here are our tips!]]> https://www.nomination.com/world/blog/tips-jewellery-wedding-maid-of-honor-bridesmaid/

Summer is the most beautiful season to celebrate a wedding: all its coloursand scents, the sun is shining and the cheerful atmosphere typical of the warmer months make this moment even more special.

Before thinking about the joy and fun of the ceremony, usually among the guests, maids-of-honor and bridesmaids the most classic question of all the great occasions floats around: what do I wear? Not only the bride and groom, but also the friends and relatives who share with them this moment must be impeccable: the dresses and accessories must be chosen and matched with great meticulousness.

But how do you do it? There are so many rules of etiquette as to what wedding guests should or should not wear: but on important occasions like this, we really want to feel special! Especially when the ones getting married are people we are very close to.

Here's a little guide to choosing the right dress and matching the perfect accessories: the colours, the lengths and the right jewellery to feel wonderful at an important ceremony.

Bon ton rules: what should guests, maids-of-honor, and bridesmaids not wear?

Often considered too restrictive and somewhat outdated, bon ton rules for important occasions like a wedding give precise indications on what the guests, maids-of-honor, and bridesmaids should not wear on a friend or relative’s wedding day.

The first rule is the one concerning the colour white: during the wedding, in fact, this hue in all its shades is reserved for the bride, the undisputed star of the ceremony. Wearing it would be almost an offense to the bride, according to etiquette, as it would almost be like stealing the show. It is forbidden, therefore, to wear long or short dresses in this colour, as well as pants, skirts or tops.

As far as black is concerned, opinions on its presence in the outfits of guests, maids-of-honor and bridesmaids are divided: traditionally, black is considered to be a very gloomy colour, unsuitable for joyful moments like a wedding. In recent years the matter has often been reconsidered: in the end a black dress is extremely elegant, it enhances every type of body and is a real hymn to modesty.

"Modesty" is just one of the slogans when you have to go to a wedding. The bon ton wants guests, maids-of-honor, and bridesmaids to not wear overly bright colours or accessories and dresses that are too flashy: veils, extravagant hats, glitter and sequins are forbidden.

This is the general rule. If the bride manifests conflicting desires or defines the dress code of the ceremony when sending out the invitations, everything can change!

Matching approved dresses and jewellery for a wedding

Let us now move on to the approved choices for the guests, maids-of-honor and bridesmaids’ outfits at a wedding. So far we've talked about forbidden colours and sobriety: what are the perfect colours for a dress to wear for a summer wedding? The time of day when the ceremony is held is crucial in choosing.

A morning or early afternoon wedding is the ideal occasion to show off pastel colors: delicate and cheerful, perfect for both long and short dresses. What are the most trendy colours for formal summer dresses? Sun yellow and the warm tonality of orange are perfect for attending a cheerful wedding, as well as more minute floral prints, on gorgeous chiffon dresses or other light fabrics. To be safe, blush pink or delicate shades of sky-blue will be perfect in all cases: short dress or long, or a pantsuit.

What kind of jewellery should you match with this type of dress? Of course, modesty is always the rule: jewellery should be basic, characterized by clean lines that enlighten the look without being excessive.


If you choose a dress in warm yellow or orange tones, the perfect option for a classy outfit (without making it too serious) are bracelets in equally warm golden tones: yellow or rose, with the surface of the precious metal enriched by brilliant small stones.

For a pastel-colored dress in the shades of sky-blue or pink, the bracelet to wear can have two different characteristics: draw from the delicate colours of the dress or add a little pizzazz, choosing vivid and contrasting coloured stones.


Any suggestions? The La Vie En Rose Blue Composable Bracelet alternates snowy pearls and on sky tone floral links: here is the perfect choice for a bon ton outfit in which the colours are all in perfect harmony with each other.

The exotic touch of the Cashmere pattern and its bright colours are the right option for those who want to make their formal outfit truly memorable: the Composable Cashmere Formal Bracelet, with its theme links and coloured jades, is the fashion accessory to give a pastel-colored gown something extra.

The issue is different if the ceremony takes place in the evening. In this case, the darker colours are well received, as evening weddings are usually occasions where a touch of extra elegance is required. The perfect solution for these cases is a long dress: light and not too lavish, it can be chosen in shades of midnight blue, emerald green or gray tones, three of the favorite shades for the most chic summer outfits.

In this case, jewellery to pair with the dress should illuminate the darker colours chosen for the evening ceremony. So jewellery with glittering crystals are perfect: even in this case, the best choice is one that has clean lines. For a truly sophisticated look, one must remember a rule: choose one piece between earrings and necklace, except in cases where earrings are small diamonds. How do you choose which ones to wear?


In this case it is rather simple: low neckline dresses require a necklace that decorates both the neck and cleavage, while for those with a higher neckline the best effect is obtained by favoring long earrings: Bella Collection from Nomination can offer the right piece no matter which dress you choose.

The essence of jewellery can also be transmuted into geometric form charms: which are extremely refined with clean lines and fine chains of silver and yellow and rose gold. Ovals, rhombi and delicate hearts adorn the Unica collection jewellery which includes bracelets, necklaces, earrings and rings enriched with brilliant stones: these are the pieces to wear for a contemporary, elegant look that will certainly not go unnoticed by the party guests!

What about him? What are the right accessories for men at a wedding?

So far, we have only talked about accessories and jewellery for bridesmaids and wedding guests: but what should he wear to be impeccable for an important ceremony?

When the wedding is held in the summer, in the morning or early afternoon, one accessory that you can not do without is sunglasses. One might wonder if choosing to wear them is too casual: just opt for a classy model with dark lenses and frames that will protect your eyes from the sun’s rays during the hottest hours of the day.


Those who love elegance in its most classic form, could choose to adorn the cuffs of your shirt with cufflinks.

The most traditional of men's accessories are reinterpreted in a modern way through the models offered by the Class, Monte Carlo, Metropolitan and Steelikons collections from Nomination:: each one features details made of enamel and stones that give each piece an unmistakable style.

<![CDATA[The seaside of Italy: the must-see beaches]]> https://www.nomination.com/world/blog/seaside-italy-beaches-jewellery-holiday/

Late summer: the time to leave for the summer holidays is fast approaching. The time has come to indulge in relaxation and leisure, long walks and beautiful sunny days. Like every year, a seaside getaway remains the favorite choice of holidaymakers: after all, is there a better time to enjoy the beaches, the sea breeze and the sunsets on the horizon?

But there are so many beaches and a holiday at the seaside can be interpreted in so many different ways: there are those who choose it to enjoy the sun's rays and get a tan, and those who go because the seaside holidays are the most beautiful of all time.

Whatever the reason for choosing the beach, one thing is certain: the Italian coasts always satisfy everyone. What are the most spectacular seaside locales in Italy? Let's find them together, thinking of the most en vogue accessories for each of the occasions on the seashore.


#1 A vacation to the sea, where nothing is missing: Apulia

More than 800 km of coast, for a coastline that evolves continually as you walk it.

Apulia is the perfect seaside locale not only for those looking for beautiful beaches and crystal clear water, because the region is packed full of everything that you could want for a holiday. The coast alternates the undulating sandy shores, typical of the province of Taranto, the white cliffs overhanging the Salento Sea, reaching the hidden coves among the green of Gargano National Park.

In addition to the sea and beautiful landscapes, Apulia offers its guests the opportunity to visit places of great artistic and cultural value: from the characteristic trulli to the ravines rich in mysteries, to the ancient villages and historical centers where you can discover the most authentic Apulian tradition.

For a stroll through the picturesque streets of the Apulian cities, the jewellery to wear are those that are based on a bit of ethnic taste, with an ancient charm that takes you back in time: Essenzia and its bracelets, bronze earrings and necklaces are the right choice to enhance the outfits of your summer evenings.


#2 The Romagna coast for a fun getaway

Romagna is the most popular seaside destination in Italy for those who are looking for a holiday full of fun and entertainment.

The beaches of the Romagna coastline are large and made of fine light sand begging you to walk their length with the most modern beach resorts that offer all the comforts to their guests at any time of the day.

The most famous locales for summer holidays? Without a shadow of a doubt they are Rimini, Riccione, Milano Marittima and Marina di Ravenna, all of them very popular for the wide variety of nightclubs, discotheques and beach parties that light up all the evenings of the Romagna summer.

A fun location requires fun outfits and accessories: give the go-ahead to glittering colors, colorful stones and symbols that tell all about our summer. The Cubiamo collection bracelets are the jewellery to wear to shine at seaside parties: choose the color of the leather bracelet and dress it up as you choose among the many cubes with colored stones, letters and symbols.


#3 Italy like the Caribbean: Sardinia

Sardinia is the true Caribbean paradise of Italy: crystal clear water, super fine sand and cliffs overhanging the sea, all set in the greenery of the fragrant Mediterranean vegetation.

The Sardinian coast has so much to offer: small coves with a rose-colored backdrop like Cala Mariolu, in the Gulf of Orosei, secret coves among granite cliffs,isolated coasts ideal for scuba diving.

In short, Sardinia hides many small pearls to discover, dedicated to those who love regenerating and meditative holidays, in places far from the hectic pace of the city.

An exclusive holiday requires special jewellery, to take along as a reminder of getaway in the spirit of adventure. Choose the charm with the Yellow Hibiscus for your Composable bracelet, if you want to tell your dream trip, the diving mask, instead, if your most beautiful memory are the seabeds of Sardinia.

<![CDATA[30 years of Nomination]]> https://www.nomination.com/world/blog/30-years-nomination-jewellery/

Nomination celebrates 30 years in business. A long history that began in the 80s in Florence and continues down to today by preserving the features that have always distinguished the work of the company: passion, innovation, craftsmanship and Italianness.

But how were Nomination and the idea for its iconic bracelet, Composable, conceived? Let's revisit the fundamental milestones in this story!


Tradition, innovation and Italianness have always been part of the brand history

Craftsmanship, quality, innovation: since the eighties, Nomination and its jewellery convey values that remain unchanged over time.

Italianness is a fundamental character of the brand products: a Made in Italy product that starts with the Florentine goldsmith tradition, where ingenuity and innovation in design and materials come together to create ever-new and trendy jewellery.

In Nomination jewellery, the precious materials typical of the most classic jewellery, such as gold, silver and stones, come together with more modern elements, such as steel and enamels: as a matter of fact, it is with the Florentine brand that steel began to be used for the production of jewellery. In particular, this is done with the jewellery that still best represents the essence of Nomination: Composable.



The intuition that revolutionized Made in Italy jewellery

It was from a simple intuition by the one who would become the founder of Nomination, Paolo Gensini, that started the whole story.

After some experience in completely different fields of work, he began working first in the metal working industry and then in the goldsmith's shops in Florence. The idea came to him just by spending time in the goldsmith’s: why should jewellery be made only of gold and silver and be so expensive? Wouldn’t it be better if there was affordable jewellery for everyone?

From his experience in the metal working industry, the idea was conceived to introduce a new element in jewellery: steel, a more economical yet very durable material, to be worked and embellished with the more traditional gold and silver. Paolo Gensini thus began to produce his first steel bracelets, with the awareness that he had created a much more democratic type of jewellery. Initially, however, the more traditional goldsmiths were skeptical about such innovative creations, since they were not made with the precious materials used up to that time.

But things soon changed and the stainless steel bracelet, Composable, became an accessory appreciated by men and women and imitated all over the world. It is at this point in the story that Nomination was born. The first Composable pieces were those on which you could spell out your own name by uniting many Links with the letters of the alphabet: the term "Nomination" is, in fact, of Latin origin and it means precisely "give the name".



Quality that lasts over time

The features that made the Composable Bracelet famous are part of all the jewellery collections created throughout the history of Nomination.

We are talking about craftsmanship, attention to detail, the sophistication of shapes, the quality of the materials that have always been part of Nomination and its guarantee of offering 100% Made in Italy products.

The use of high quality raw materials, the constant monitoring of every stage of the creation process and decades of experience in the field of artisanal jewellery make Nomination jewellery a synonym for durability and strength. And if you want to make sure your Composable continues to shine over the years like the first time you wore it, just give the bracelet’s links a little attention.

What attention? A gentle cleaning with the Composable cloth. Designed as a special gadget to celebrate Nomination’s 30th anniversary, the cleaning cloth was created with only the purest cotton and is able to both care for and clean your jewellery at the same time.

As a matter of fact, the inside of the cloth contains a special formula to clean precious metals, which is also able to create a barrier to counteract oxidation. The outside completes the cleaning treatment: after wiping the links with the inside of the cloth, just use the other side to immediately make it bright and shiny.

“Bella La Vita!”

From Paolo Gensini's favorite exclamation comes the special edition bracelet that celebrates Nomination’s 30th anniversary. The unmistakable design of the classic Composable in steel and silver is enriched with a double link that celebrates life, which is unpredictable and always extraordinary. Along side the silver version, yellow gold and rose gold versions have also been made. A bracelet that wants to thank the faithful Nomination customers, reminding them how beautiful life is!

Sometimes a symbol is worth more than a thousand words. Immediately recognizable, full of comprehensible meanings at first glance or all to be discovered, a symbol can become the means to express a strong and original thing that matters to you. Tell everyone who you are by wearing the symbols that most represent you or give them to a loved one to send a special message: how? With Nomination Composable Links!

Here is a selection of 10 charms decorated with the most beautiful symbols to compose a bracelet that tells others who you are or as gift ideas for a person you love. Discover the meaning of each piece and let it inspire you!



#1 Love in Italics Composable Classic Link
MEANING: LOVE
Three red hearts beating stronger than ever accompany the script "Love": is there a better symbol to celebrate love?

Choose this charm if you are looking for a special way to remind your better half how much you care about her!

#2 Mum and Heart Composable Double Link
MEANING: THE BOND WITH MUM
A pillar of the family, always present and ready to take care of the whole family: Mum is truly unique! A heart adorned with stones decorates the link dedicated to her, to thank her once again for always being there.

#3 Infinity Dad Composable Double Link
MEANING: THE BOND WITH DAD
The family is one of the most precious loves that one can ever have in life: it creates an indissoluble bond with each member that is part of it. All the affection for your dad represented in a charm: what symbol could represent it better than infinity?



#4 Little pink feet Composable Classic Link
MEANING: BABY GIRL BIRTH
Another charm dedicated to one of the most exciting and beautiful moments in a person's life: the cute little pink feet, which symbolize without a shadow of a doubt the birth of a little girl.

The pink enamel of this charm is devoted to a wonderful bouncing baby girl: the perfect gift idea for a new mum to whom you wish the rosiest future!

#5 Yin Yang Composable Classic Link
MEANING: HARMONY
Yin and Yang represent two forces that depend on each other: neither one would exist if there was not the opposite one. It is precisely the opposition of the two forces that creates the balance of all the things that surround us, according to ancient Chinese philosophy: that is why the deepest meaning of this symbol is "harmony."

#6 Link Composable Classic Four leaf green leaf
MEANING: LUCK
A bit of luck every now and then is good for everyone! Wish the best to a person you love with this colorful charm: it is like accompanying them all throughout their journey.



#7 Link Composable Classic Graduation Cap
MEANING: GETTING A DEGREE
Life is marked by so many fundamental steps, so many blocks that a little at a time build a path that describes us.

One of the most exciting moments (even for mum and dad) for those who decide to dedicate themselves to study is getting the degree. A gift idea for a person who has reached this goal.

#8 Peace Symbol Composable Classic Link
MEANING: PEACE
One of the most famous symbols in the world is the peace sign. Adopted universally with this meaning, this sign was first conceived in 1958 by the English artist Gerald Holtom. A curiosity? Initially it was created to strongly and significantly represent the Nuclear Disarmament Movement. Within a few years, however, it was adopted by pacifist movements around the world, thanks to the simplicity of the design, which could be drawn without difficulty by anyone.

#9 Family Tree Composable Big Link
MEANING: FAMILY
The family tree is a diagram that represents all family relationships between a group of individuals, going back to even the most distant ancestors. Instead of a cold set of straight lines, why not use the branches and leaves of a real green tree to represent bonds with the people closest to us?



#10 Friend Composable Classic Link
MEANING: FRIENDSHIP
A true friend is the one who always supports you, is near you when you need him, and much more! He is sincere, honest and (for your good) will always tell you when you are wrong.

And then he is also the one with whom you share the most amazing adventures and the biggest laughs. In short, a true friend is precious: why not give him a gift that tells him how important he is?

<![CDATA[Holidays? Travel? Get in the mood with the Nomination charms!]]> https://www.nomination.com/world/blog/charms-bracelets-summer-holidays-trips/

By now summer is at the door, it is impossible not to notice it. The sun is getting more and more scorching, the days are getting longer and the evening starts again to be the ideal time to take a walk outside. But above all, the desire to go on holiday keeps growing. Have you already planned your summer holiday trip?

Holidaymakers are typically divided among different types of travelers: there are those who consider a holiday as a time to devote completely to relaxation and regeneration, those who instead prefer to take advantage of leisure time to discover unknown places and historic cities and those who take advantage of the time looking for more adventurous activities.

What kind of traveler are you? If you have not yet planned your holidays lget inspired by this summer's most sought after destinations and Nomination Composable Jewellery. If you have already planned your next trip to perfection, you just have to dream about your departure date and choose the links and charms to customize your bracelet and wear the memory of your fantastic summer holidays.


Waves, sand and total relaxation

The most classic of holiday definitions: white sand beaches, sea, sun and total relaxation. Even this year seaside destinations will be amongst the most popular for summer holidays.

The Mediterranean Sea and Greece and its islands sin particular, seem to be very sought after travel destinations. It is for its unique landscape, which, in addition to the crystal clear sea, also includes appealing archaeological sites and lush green areas make a stay in Greece much more special than any beach holiday.

A memento of your holidays in these fascinating lands? The Greek eye, of course! In the culture of this country, this symbol is a potent good luck charm. Traditionally, the Greek eye is painted on medallions or bracelet beads and accessories so that it may be worn as a talisman.

A fundamental detail: The eye must strictly be blue, because in Greek tradition this color is a bearer of good luck.

If you have not chosen Greece, but another beautiful seaside locale where you can spend your holidays, the perfect memento to wear all summer is the flip flops and flower charm: a souvenir that will remind you of the most exotic beaches!


City holidays: culture, art and romance

Holidays necessarily made to let go and relax are not for everyone: many prefer to spend this free time devoting themselves to culture and art by visiting new cities.

In Europe one of the most popular destinations for this purpose is Barcelona: a very charming, colorful and vibrant city. From the characteristic Ramblas to the numerous and very important museums, Barcelona is a city to discover. A symbol to take with you to remember a trip to this enchanted city? Gaudì’s Dragon, dedicated to a beautiful fountain at Parc Güell, is an obligatory stop in the city.

But the perfect vacation for many may also be one where you get lost in the streets of a modern metropolis that never stops, even at night. New York is the destination for those who dream of America: with all its lights, skyline, and sounds, the Big Apple is the perfect destination for those looking for a trip that is rich in movement. Which charm should you add to your bracelet to remember this holiday? Naturally it is the Big Apple in enamel and gold!

And what if it were the first holiday together for two people in love? Romantic, charming and always beautiful in every season, Paris is without a doubt the city to choose in this case. To always carry a memento of the city of lovers, a charm with the Eiffel Tower and a delicate rose.


A journey of adventure

More and more in vogue are holidays dedicated to anything other than relaxation. We are talking about those trips chosen by the most adventurous, with activities that are filled with adrenaline and out of the ordinary.

Looking for a different holiday than usual? One that is dynamic and sporty? The solution could be a bicycle tour! You can join group tours that are organized by specialized agencies, or go on an adventure with a group of friends or a partner. The most beautiful destinations? TheDolomites, Flandres, theFrench Alps, Andalusia. Spectacular landscapes guaranteed. What is the symbol to take with you to remember a vacation like this? The bicycle, of course!

But an adventurous and unusual trip may well be the choice of a mysterious exotic destination. The Gili islands in Indonesia, Malaysia and the forests of Borneo, or the Islands of the Philippines. What should you never forget when taking a trip in the spirit of adventure? The compass, of course, that is also in the for of a charm for your braceletto wear as a souvenir of your spectacular holiday.

<![CDATA[Family stories, charms stories]]> https://www.nomination.com/world/blog/charms-bracelets-nomination-family-stories/

Since 1993 every year on May 15, International Day of Families is celebrated. This celebration was instituted by the United Nations to celebrate the family in all its forms: a family is understood as a social structure based on the affection and mutual care of the people it is made up of.

Love, esteem, respect, and help characterize everyday life within the family, with which they share many moments that mark the life of each member. And you? What is the most beautiful family memory you carry with you? How many stories about the moments you have spent together can you tell?

Say it with Nomination: here is a collection of 10 links that tell one of the most beautiful family stories. For yourself or for someone you love, choose the right jewellery for each moment and compose your own story to wear.


#1 Just Married Composable Big Link
One of the most beautiful days of life for the couple who decides to take the big step. A day that celebrates the union of two hearts, which formalizes the beginning of a new path to discover. An indelible day, to always take with you.

#2 Gold and Enamel House Composable Classic Link
That small happy port where you come together in the evening after an exhausting day: home sweet home is the place where the family begins and becomes the ultimate symbol of it.

#3 Blue Carriage Composable Big Link
The arrival of a baby at home is probably the event that most fills the hearts of a happy couple. A couple that from this moment on will be so much more. Here is a link that tells the joy of new parents, a gift idea to wish them a rosy future.

#7 My Dog Composable Big Link
A place of honor is also reserved for animal friends who, when they enter the house, bring so much joy to the hearts of the young and old (and sometimes a bit of fun disorder, too).

<![CDATA[Wedding: a guide for wedding jewellery]]> https://www.nomination.com/world/blog/wedding-guide-jewellery-bridal-earrings-necklaces-bracelets/

The wedding: one of the life’s most important moments. Among the preparations for the ceremony, the sending out the announcements and the choice of the dress to wear for the big day, and you cannot forget about one really fundamental detail on an occasion like this: jewellery. On her wedding day, a woman wants to shine in all her beauty and elegance as never before: the right jewellery becomes the perfect ally for that purpose.

But what jewellery should a bride wear for her wedding? Between popular ancient sayings and bon ton rules, often the choice becomes really arduous. But have no fear: here's some advice to pair jewellery to the wedding dress.

Bon ton rules for wedding jewellery

Let's start the guide to choosing jewellery to wear on your wedding with bon ton rules: there are various intriguing rules, in fact, which prescribe what a bride should - and above all what she should not - wear on her wedding day.

Elegance and moderation are the key words: jewellery that is too showy or colourful is forbidden, rather, go for clean lines, bright stones and soft colours. Watches would also be forbidden for the big day: the rule applies only to the bride, as this accessory would excessively weigh down the wrist and the purity of the dress. For the groom, on the other hand, it is tradition to wear it, choosing an elegant model with a leather or steel band.



Another bon ton rule says that your fingers must be free to put the wedding ring on at the moment of the fateful "yes". Therefore, the bride should not wear rings, not even her engagement ring, at least during the ceremony: the diamond can only be shown off at the reception. The choice of jewellery for the bride is thus narrowed to earrings, necklaces and bracelets.

Be careful, nevertheless, as one of the most famous phrases of the undisputed style icon, Coco Chanel, is never more valid than on this day, which pays tribute to modesty with a solemn "Before leaving the house, a lady should look in the mirror and remove one accessory". Well, the bride can wear earrings, bracelets and a necklace, but not all together. So, ban the traditional sets: it is better to opt for two pieces of jewellery, coordinated or not.

Generally you should avoid wearing both a necklace and earrings, as they visually encumber two parts of the body that are very close together: one should rather choose earrings and a bracelet, or a necklace and a bracelet.

After all these bon ton rules it might seem even more complicated to choose the right jewellery for the wedding. Here are tips for choosing jewellery for the wedding by matching them with the dress, neckline and hairstyle.

Matching jewellery to the dress and neckline

Choosing the wedding dress is undoubtedly one of the most difficult moments of the wedding. The perfect dress is the one that fits perfectly, is extremely elegant and makes the one wearing it feel beautiful. Even on this occasion, personal taste plays its part: there will be those who will choose a dress with simple lines, with few sequins and frills, and those who will instead opt for something more extravagant, with lace and voluminous skirts.

In case the wedding dress is the latter type, you should wear earrings and not a necklace, as this might be excessive if laying on a very elaborate dress. Some small and bright earrings will modestly illuminate the bride’s face in her fabulous dress. The same applies to dresses with the necklines just mentioned: wearing a necklace could weigh down the look. If your dress reveals your arms, why not decorate your wrist with an equally brilliant bracelet? You can choose a minimal piece, perhaps coordinated with the earrings, or a silver piece with a delicate charm, like the elegant angel wings.



The necklace becomes the star when the chosen dress is simple or has a more important neckline. In this case you will be able to opt for a sophisticated choker: is it better to choose one that is linear or pendant? Choose your favourite.

Match jewellery to your hairstyle

Hairstyle is another important element to consider when choosing jewellery for your wedding, especially with regard to earrings.

If you want to wear your hair down showing off its length, you have to choose pieces that will not be hidden by the cascade of hair. The advice is to bet everything on brightness, choosing for example a pair of earrings that combine brilliant stones and pearls. Alternatively, you can opt for pendant earrings, that always respect the ranks of modesty and elegance: brilliant stones combined with a thin silver thread are definitely a great choice.



The hairstyles that reveal the neck, like the chignon, also go well with the longest and most prominent pieces that frame the face to perfection. Of course, you should opt for light, sophisticated pendants: angel wings might be the right option in this case as well.

For those who wear short hair the ideal is instead to opt for a small and very bright piece, that will soften the face with elegance.

Wise counselor and special friend: mum is the reference point that is there with us from an early age, always present and always important. She protected us, cared for us, supported us, prepared lunch thousands of times: in short, thanking her for everything is not just a must, but above all it is a pleasure.

A thought from the heart is what is needed for the holiday dedicated to her. A gift that will speak for us and shout "I love you, mum!" as loudly as possible. But above all it needs something that will make her understand that we know her like she knows us.

Compose your message of love for mum: here you will find 10 ideas to do it with style.


#1 Silvershine Mum Double link
For the modern mum who is always in motion and getting along from one activity to another, the jewel to wear at all times is one in steel and silver: durable and always shining, decorated with a tender heart of brilliant stones.

#2 Link Rosegold Composable Collection
Compose her name with precious gold letters and dedicate to mum a message written from the heart: it will be the most precious jewel that she can always take with her.

#3 3 hearts Double Link
Shining stones light up the eyes of all women: light up even the heart of your mum with one of the most tender jewels.



#4 Forever Together Double Link
The bond between a mother and her children is the strongest bond of all. It is indestructible and unforgettable: the most genuine of Love Stories. The perfect jewel for mum represents that feeling: a symbol to wear so she will always have the love of her children next to her.

#5 Double link I love my family
The foundations of the family rest on her: mum is the center of it, the fixed point you can always return to when looking for assurance. Because mum always loves her family and the most beautiful jewel is the one that declares it.

#6 Fuchsia Heart and four-leaf clover Link
A symbol of good luck is the best wish for a brighter future. For a sweet gift to your mum choose the cloverleaf accompanied by a pink heart: a tender jewel to give her a smile.

#7 Umbrella with hearts Link
Mum is always ready to protect us, soothing all the adversity we might stumble upon: what better jewel is there for her than the one that represents this shield of love?

#8 Rose Gold for Engraving Double link
To give a really special gift to your mum, your personal touch is essential: choose the craftsmanship of engraving and turn your term of endearment into a precious jewel.

#9 Heart with red Cubic Zirconia Link
A heart of red stones that beats like crazy: a trendy jewel to give to the most important woman and tell her how much you love her.

#10 Black typewriter Link
If your mum looks nostalgically at old photographs and loves retro style, the right jewelry is what takes her on a trip to the past. A vintage style typewriter, to remind her of a time when you didn’t use text messages to say "I love you".

<![CDATA[12 Tips for pairing a necklace with a t-shirt]]> https://www.nomination.com/world/blog/tips-necklace-tshirt-pairing/

Now is that time of year when you go back to wearing the cult garment par excellence, a must in everyone’s wardrobe: the t-shirt. The symbol of casual fashion, in recent years we have often seen it reinvented and become the feature of even the most chic and classy outfits. Basic, patterned or strictly plain white, the t-shirt assumes the most varied forms and textures, to be worn with ease on every occasion. An important element not to be forgotten: accessories. In this case, pairing the right necklace to the chosen t-shirt becomes fundamental in creating the perfect look for all tastes.

The challenge is not always easy, because, as already mentioned, there are so many t-shirts and they are all different. One of the details to pay particular attention to when choosing jewellery to match with the shirt is the neckline. Is a long or short necklace better for a V-neck T-shirt? And what kind of necklace goes better with a patterned t-shirt?

If it also takes you a long time every morning to decide what the right necklace is to pair with the t-shirt you're wearing, or if you want to discover how to turn a basic t-shirt into a garment to wear on an important occasion, here's the right style-guide for you!



#1 Round neck T-shirt
Not only this is the most common t-shirt, but it is also the one that allows more choices regarding the jewellery to wear.

A maxi round neckline t-shirt, for example, can become a chic garment with the help of a long necklace with a pendant: a perfect outfit for the entire day, as appropriate for the office as it is for an evening out with friends. With a classic round neckline, not too deep, the choice of jewellery is quite simple: a long necklace is always a good option, otherwise you can opt for a statement necklace, to transform the simplest t-shirt into the highlight of an eccentric look, to wear on important occasions.




#2 V-neck T-shirt
If the t-shirt you're going to wear has a V-neck, you have to choose a necklace that follows the shape and size of the neckline. So round and rigid shaped necklaces are barred: it is better to opt for a soft necklace with a small pendant or charm at the center.

#3 Boat neck T-shirt
A t-shirt with a boat neckline is in itself a piece of irresistible charm and a taste that is a bit retro: a must have according to the fashion trends for spring-summer 2017. But what accessories go with it to get an impact outfit? For an elegant look with timeless beauty, the advice is to wear a choker necklace: it will soften the neckline discreetly, while shining with class.

#4 Square neck T-shirt
The square neckline makes a t-shirt become extremely versatile, making it suitable for every occasion if combined with the right accessories. The necklaces to choose from in this case will always be rather short: whether they are chokers, collars or necklaces with gem stones, they should never be longer than the lowest point of the neckline.




#5 One-shoulder or asymmetrical T-shirt
For a gritty look one-shoulder or asymmetrical t-shirts are ideal: black or glittered texture for the evening, lighter and light fabric for the day. But what necklace best pairs with a garment of this type?

You definitely need to opt for a long model: choose your favorite from among the most classic necklaces with pendants, those enriched by cascading fringes to create a boho style or metal ones made of several wires, that lend themselves to creating a minimal and modern look.

#6 Tank top
If you love tank tops then there are two possibilities for pairing them with accessories: a short necklace with clean lines, perhaps with a brilliant detail, or a necklace embellished with a pendant. The important thing is to remember to choose according to the depth of the neckline: an essential choker lends itself to higher necklines, otherwise be daring with a pendant. To surprise, the idea could be to pair such a basic garment with a choker with a single, precious pearl.




#7 Cowl neck T-shirt
Refined and suitable for the most formal occasions, the cowl neck makes a garment irresistibly chic. For a bon ton look, opt for a subtle and delicate necklace: a minimalist accessory to brighten a classy outfit.

#8 Plunge neck T-shirt
When it comes to special but not too formal occasions, like a party or just a night out with friends, a plunge neck t-shirt is definitely a winning card to play for a rock star look. Choose a rich fabric and soft shapes, but above all do not forget the accessories, which in this case are fundamental. The watchword is dare: it is thumbs up for long necklaces with pendants or cascade, which will follow the neckline of your garment.




#9 Halter neck T-shirt
With this type of neckline the realm of possibilities regarding accessories expands: the necklace to wear will depend on the effect you want to achieve, but also according to their body type.

Our advice in any case is to go toward short necklaces: more magnificent and impressive for minimal garments and elegant occasions, more delicate and subtle in case the clothes that make up your outfit already contain different colours and patterns.

#10 Print T-shirt
A t-shirt with graphic prints and drawings can only be part of a witty and saucy outfit. Get Creative with your choice of accessories, but beware: the necklace to wear with an already striking t-shirt can not be excessive. Opting for a short or medium length is ideal: to keep the look cool and ironic, choose a necklace with some colourful charms, maybe even personalized.

#11 Pattern T-shirt
If your favorite t-shirt is not basic or plain colour, the accessories should be chosen with great care, to avoid a loud or excessive result. With ethnic motifs , and in general with patterned prints, the best option to create a sophisticated look is definitely a necklace with clean lines, enhanced to the maximum with a large pendant.



# 12 Turtleneck T-shirt
Last but not least, the turtleneck. A basic garment, but a must in a modern woman’s wardrobe, because it is extremely versatile and can be easily paired as much with jeans as the most elegant skirts. Whatever the occasion is, there is only one thing to remember: the turtleneck must necessarily be paired with a long necklace. It is your choice: linear and simple or with a pendant?

<![CDATA[All the Queen's colours: Happy Birthday Elizabeth II]]> https://www.nomination.com/world/blog/fashion-colours-queen-elizabeth-birthday-jewellery/

Born April 21, 1926, Queen Elizabeth is celebrating her ninety-first birthday this year. As per tradition, the festivities will take place twice: the first on her birthday, privately, with family, and the second with the grand Trooping The Colour parade, which will be held this year on June 17.

But who is the Queen?
Elizabeth II has been the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (and many other lands around the world) since way back in 1952: in fact, she holds the record for the longest reign in British history and the longest for any queen in history. An icon of style and elegance, the Queen is known for wearing eccentric hats and dresses in loud colours.

Who designs her clothes?
During her long reign the arduous task has been entrusted to various designers. All agree, however, on one thing: the Queen knows exactly what she wants to wear. And so the most famous fashion designers in the world receive precise instructions every time on how the clothes that she wants to wear for a particular occasion must look. And when the sketches are ready, Elizabeth II checks them and proposes her modifications, in accord with her tastes and her figure.



A dress for every occasion
Yes: as the monarch of the United Kingdom, the Queen well knows that wearing the right outfit for every occasion is very important. One rule is fundamental: never show up with the same look for the same occasion, even after some time. How does Elizabeth II remember all the outfits she has brandished for each event? It is due to the “Queen’s Notebooks”, of course. What are they? A kind of catalog in which all the dresses worn by the Queen for every occasion are recorded (with no less than an identification code).

But why such loud colours?
It is impossible to not notice it: all the Queen's suits and impeccable gowns are always made of coloured, loud, and sometimes fluorescent fabrics. But for what reason? In addition to personal taste there's more: the queen prefers vivid colours to be visible amongst the crowd. Her figure is actually rather small: without the help of those flashy hats and those shocking hues it could be difficult to locate her on special occasions.

More than 5,000 hats and a rainbow of colours have passed through the wardrobe of the queen: but what are your favorites? Let's find out together and let’s be inspired by the royal palette to choose our spring outfits.

A shy sun starts to come out, spending some time outdoors becomes more and more pleasant, the scent of flowers is in the air: Spring is nearly upon us! And this can also be seen from the windows of our favorite clothing stores: the first fluttering dresses and chiffon blouses are emerging along with colour, which is back in all its brightest shades.

Already in the past few months the most famous labels have given us a taste of what will be the major trends of the season: ranging from multicolour stripes to eccentric optical prints inspired by the sixties and seventies, from retro fringe to the most romantic floral. In short, the fashion trends this spring are characterized by exuberance, lightness, and colour. There is one in particular that seems to be the real must-have of the season, which will give sweet notes of colour to our spring outfits: pink.



We have seen it on the runways of Valentino, Bottega Veneta, Moschino, Balenciaga: the 2017 spring-summer collections are a delicate bouquet rich in hues. Pink comes in all shades: from light powder to elegant champagne rosé, from the vivacious Schiaparelli to the energetic raspberry. In short, there is something for all tastes. How will you put your personal spin on this must-have?

There are so many ways to have fun with it: for those who wish to dare, pink can be worn in colour blocking or matched with equally sparkling colour, but those who prefer more understated look can easily combine it with neutral tones or even black & white (which never goes out of style). One example of wearing the must have colour of the season class with class is in your accessories: a cheerful touch to choose for a purse, scarf, or jewellery.


Like never before rose gold has become the precious material of choice for bracelets, rings, and necklaces, for those who want to interpret the trend with great elegance: let yourself be inspired by the creations in the Rosegold Composable Collection.

<![CDATA[Timeless Elegance: Nomination White Pearls ]]> https://www.nomination.com/world/blog/jewellery-with-white-pearls-bella/

“A little bit of heels, a little bit of make-up and a little bit of… pearls” is and old saying that every lady has heard at least once in her life. This advice represents the three elements of classic elegance, the kind of elegance that has a timeless fascination making it always fresh.

If you think that ladies’ pearls are out of fashion, nothing is more wrong: it’s not the time anymore when pearls were only worn by mothers and grandmothers as a symbol of bourgeois life and “bon ton”. The brightness of pearls is renowned since ancient times, long before our mothers and our grandmothers. There are many tales about old Asian fishermen who worn fantastic stones coming out of mollusc they fished. Ancient Greeks and Middle East population, then, considered pearls to descend from God and to have special powers.



Every man and woman until today finally renowned the timeless beauty of pearls, making them the perfect gift to the beloved ladies and the most coveted jewel to show off during important occasions.Today pearls are an evergreen. Pearls have become a must-have that cannot miss in the jewellery set of every modern lady. Pearls have left behind the “classic” and ancient aura which had until some time ago. Without detracting anything to the timeless string of pearls, today’s jewellery design trends go in another direction.

In this season’s collection, like Nomination’s Bella, pearls are perfectly matched with metals such as silver and other coloured stones, together with clean lines that accord to the contemporary minimal stile. Here is a modern reinterpretation of pearls, becoming an everyday accessory, to wear even with casual outfits.

<![CDATA[Stardust: the scintillating looks of the season]]> https://www.nomination.com/world/blog/stardust-sparkling-jewellery/

During these cold winter months the most diverse fashion trends have been with us: from metallic proposals to wear for the most elegant evenings to the enveloping velvet that cuddles us on all occasions. The season's must is one thing alone: to shine on every occasion, just like a star. And so this year the high fashion catwalks were lit by scintillating proposals, to be worn on any occasion: sequined mini-dresses by Dolce & Gabbana, to the glittered Furla bags, all the way to the most casual Miu Miu sneakers, accented by studs that give them a rock touch.

That glittering is a trend to interpret any way you want. To illuminate the darkest nights with an unforgettable glam trail, you can opt for a single accessory that will immediately make your look unique, perhaps choosing a metallic jewel in silver or rose gold tones, with bright details and fun charms, such as those proposed by the Unica Collection from Nomination.



But the shimmer isn’t only part of the evening wardrobe: the trend for this season is dare to wear it also during the day, perhaps illuminating the look with accessories that are more casual yet always impactful. A stainless steel bracelet is perfectly suited for the purpose: the important thing is the attention to detail that has to tell who you are and what your story is, not to mention a wry touch of color and the inevitable glittering detail. The jewels of the Composable Love Stories Collection are the right accessories for you, if you want to shine with a smile every day.

In short, the trend of the season is the one that makes us daydream, that amuses us and warms our winter wardrobe, making us feel like a real star in any moment.

<![CDATA[Aquarius: the year of great challenges]]> https://www.nomination.com/world/blog/aquarius-year-great-challenges/

In 2017 great satisfaction and radical changes await those born under the sign of Aquarius. This will be the decisive year: a long process of change that began some time ago will finally end, giving you a renewed self image, stronger and more courageous, multifaceted. All this, however, after facing several challenges that will lead you to having to make some very important choices. Choices that often make you move away from securities and the daily routine to which you were hardened to jump into a new adventure and discover your hidden talents. A challenge that all the friends of Aquarius must welcome enthusiastically, in what promises to be a brilliant year. The stars suggest for you to make all your decisions in a climate of serenity and tranquility, unhurried and seeing them as a privilege, rather than a hardship.

Aquarius Birthstones

Amethyst
With its vivacious purple, amethyst is known to have innumerable beneficial properties, including being able to purify the mind and to open it to what is around: a great ally for an Aquarius, in 2017, for welcoming change with placidity and positivity.

Sapphire
A bearer of strength and acuity to the wearer, sapphire will be another key aide to an Aquarius in 2017. Its properties help to relax the mind and to drive away negative thoughts: actions necessary to make the most sensible decisions.

The perfect jewel for the sign of Aquarius

For her
A hint of sweetness will not be spoiled, to deal with a smile all the challenges of 2017. The perfect jewelry for the Aquarius woman is definitely the Bangle Bracelet with Bow MyChérie: delicate and bright, it will be the touch of class that will make her shine on any occasion will face.

For Him
The Aquarius man is a strong and brave, a bit of a dreamer and part-time visionary: the perfect jewel for him is the Bracelet with Stone Cross Montecarlo. With its sophisticated design and the steel's unmistakable style, this accessory will accompany those born under the sign of Aquarius during this year rich in transformations..

<![CDATA[Retro luxury style: an antique plunge into yellow gold, platinum, and copper]]> https://www.nomination.com/world/blog/retro-luxury-style-extension-gold-platinum-copper/

Shiny, sumptuous, simply timeless: precious metals, as you know, have that timeless charm that makes them never go out of style. And this season they are the stars of our wardrobe: gold, platinum, and copper, which make us shine like the divas of old even on the darkest of nights. And if you think you can only wear sequins on New Year, you're wrong: the fashion trend this year is to always wear something shiny, even in the day. So feel free to go for metallic pleated skirts, bomber jackets covered with gold sequins, foiled leather for shoes and bags. A key role, of course, is played by accessories and, in particular, jewels: all bets are on this on this, if you want to sparkle with elegance and simplicity.



In fashion now are retro design pieces which illuminate with character even the most minimal looks. They can be as flashy as you want them to be, from understated to gaudy. Inspiration always comes from various sources: sometimes it comes from old Hollywood glory or the bohemian charm that we liked so much last year. Play around with the commingling of styles and overlapping: the big trend is sets bracelets in shades of gold, perhaps enriched with stones, pearls and glittering details, such as the Extension Golden collection from Nomination. Reinterpret this scintillating blast from the past by choosing the precious metal that best describes yourself and know that this season there is no longer just classic yellow gold or platinum. Very trendy now is color copper (also called rose gold), with its warm and delicate shades that heat up any winter outfit.

<![CDATA[A Love written in metal]]> https://www.nomination.com/world/blog/engraving-love-written-metal/

Haven't you ever wanted to shout to the world how much you love a person? Or write it on the walls? To accomplish a dramatic gesture that is unique and original to make a gift special. Why does it sometimes seem that a bouquet of flowers cannot really be enough to thank someone for always be there by your side. And certainly it's not enough to surprise them.




And how many have thought about making something with their own hands in order to give a special gift to a loved one? It's a little like when we were children: the most beautiful drawings were for mom, dad, and your best friend. Each one was different and unrepeatable. Tell the truth, don't you ever try to recover a bit of your childhood craftsmanship that sometimes seems to have gotten lost somewhere? Even just with a letter or a note: A word from our hand to say "I love you" to someone special.


Of course, to produce something with our hands takes time. And so much effort. But that's what makes it special. It makes it different from all the others. It's the beauty of craftsmanship: slowly giving life with one's own hands to something unique. They are not necessary, in short, dramatic gestures to tell someone how much we love them. Often it's the small things that prove be the most valuable. And indelible, just like an engraving in metal.

<![CDATA[Leather that never goes out of style: MyBonbons, Cubiamo, Metropolitan]]> https://www.nomination.com/world/blog/leather-trend-mybonbons-cubiamo-metropolitan/

Once upon a time only true rebels wore it, but today it's a cult to wear on any occasion: if you still think that leather is the stuff of bikers and rockers you're way off. For many years, it is true, leather in fashion represented the expression of rebellion: just think of the iconic biker jacket worn first by bikers in the fifties and adopted a few years later by the punk subculture. A trend that came from the street, but it did not take long to arrive on the catwalk. The first to introduce it in their collections was Yves Saint Laurent, but soon many other designers followed: from the transgressive Vivienne Westwood to Claude Montana and his suits in leather and rhinestones, from Gianni Versace to Ralph Lauren. In the eighties leather become a must on the catwalks of the biggest labels, crafted into every shape, used for every kind of garment.


From that time on, leather became part of the great classics of fashion: timeless, to be worn on every occasion, from outerwear to accessories. Even today. Once again this season leather is the star of our looks: from jackets to trenches, from the sheath dresses to pleated skirts. The latest? Forget classic black and bring on the color, from pastels to more flamboyant. And that goes for accessories, including jewellery: from purses to bracelets, leather comes in a rainbow of colours, perhaps with some shiny detail or some charm, like the MyBonbons and Cubiamo collections from Nomination. More classic and less colored is the leather in men's wardrobes. Total black wins, just as with the indomitable air of a rebel that accompanied the birth of the mythical biker jacket. Green light the accessories, though: steel and leather are the stars, which are mixed wisely in bracelets to wear throughout the day, as in the offerings of the Metropolitan line from Nomination.

Capricorn | December 22-January 20

A big project will finally become a reality during this year, according to what is written in the stars. How? Commitment, motivation, and willpower: these are the watchwords that will accompany you in the coming months. Wearing a jewel with your lucky birthstone, the garnet: will awaken your positive energy, self confidence and the desire to assert yourself. Everything you need in 2017 to do great things.

Aquarius | January 21 to February 19

After years of continuous transformations, 2017 is the decisive year: if you were born under the sign of Aquarius, in the coming months you will have to make some fundamental choices, which will finally lead you to stability and inner peace. The stars' advice is to view all the decisions you will make as privileges and not as sufferings. You'll need great serenity, balance, and tranquility: all properties of amethyst, the gemstone to take with you during this very important year.

Pisces | February 20 to March 20

If the routines of recent times are restricting you, dear Pisces, 2017 is the right year to break them. Realistic objectives, clear ideas, and precise strategies will be your trump card to arrive without difficulty at something surprising, which will lead you to fall in love again with (your) life. Aquamarine is your stone: it fosters creativity, perseverance, and self-confidence, all the abilities to rediscover in order to achieve what you want in the year.

Aries | March 21 to April 20

It opens with a moment of self reflection, the year of the Ram. A sort of budget to figure out where you have been so far and how to proceed. There looks to be big decisions to make during 2017. What is the advice of the stars in this regard? Abandon all those choices that have led you to turn away from your deepest desires and take a road that will lead you to rediscover the real you. Your stone is the diamond, which helps meditation, gives courage, and makes you invulnerable to external attacks.

Taurus | April 21 to May 20

Recent years have represented for you a kind of journey. A long journey that has led you to explore unknown roads, to the end of discovering an unexplored treasure. 2017, dear Taurus friend, is the year of revelation: open the chest and discover what it hides. The stars say you'll need a lot of effort and willpower: take along with you your lucky stone, the emerald, which will give you the optimism and vitality necessary to tackle this very important year.

Gemini | May 21 to June 21

If you were born under the sign of Gemini, 2017 is the right year to build something stupefying. The stars say pay attention to small initial smears: only correct them once, in fact, your building will be stable and perfect. Dedication and attention to detail will be your daily bread, but you will also need a great intuition and a lot of sensitivity. To cultivate these qualities, choose moonstone for your jewel: candid and elegant, it will be your lucky charm to wear on any occasion.

Cancer | June 22 to July 22

A new world is seen for all the friends of Cancer, in 2017, made of much satisfaction and many new features. But we must strut to take it, according to what the stars say. How? Get involved and, above all, giving up a little of the certainties and usual habits. Wear your stone, the precious ruby, which will stimulate the courage to undertake the change and will give you the strength to face it.

Leo | July 23 to August 23

This is the year to turn the tables for Leo. According to the stars, in fact, in the next few months you will begin to reap the rewards of all the hard work done in recent times. What will be your trump card? Tenacity and determination in the first place, but do not forget humility, an essential ally to achieve all desired goals. Your good luck charm is definitely the stone peridot (also known as olivine), which gives security to those who wears it and fights anger, arrogance, and self-pity.

Virgo | August 24 to September 22

Always available and amenable towards others in recent years, Virgos of 2017 claim the priority of their dreams and well-being. The resolution for this year for you, dear Virgo, is only one: think a little bit about yourself! The positive influence of your stone, sapphire, will gives you the serenity, confidence in yourself, and the determination necessary for the realization of your desires. This year, choose jewellery with the precious blue stone: refined, elegant, and with a thousand benefits to be discovered.

Libra | September 23 to October 22

According to what is written in the stars, in 2017 Libra will be the luckiest sign of the zodiac. This is the right year to try to fulfill your deepest desires and most expensive life projects, uninfluenced by anything or anyone. The advice of the stars for you is: stay who you are, always and in every situation. Of course, a little courage and a strong sense of initiative will also be necessary if you want to achieve your goals. Opal is your stone: choose the most suitable jewellery for you and wear it during 2017 to rediscover optimism, the joy of living, and the strength of will necessary to face the new year.

Scorpio | October 23 to November 22

For those born under the sign of Scorpio 2017 it is the year of rebirth. A veritable whirlwind of changes and revolutions will wrap you in the coming months, opening new roads all to be taken. The advice of the stars is to accommodate new interests and new talents that will reawaken in you this year. Get creative to discover with the help of your lucky stone, topaz, which will help you bring out your depth and your inner wealth.

Sagittarius | November 23 to December 21

Demand and reconstruction will characterize Sagittarius' 2017. On the horizon new friends, unexpected opportunities, and rediscovered ambitions, all to be welcomed as a breath of fresh air in a position to transform the everyday routine. There is a tip from the stars also for Sagittarius: Do not lose yourself too much in doing good to one's neighbor and never lose sight of your personal needs. Always wear your precious lucky charm: turquoise, a stone with a strong beneficial and calming influence, which gives harmony to interpersonal relationships and enhances the intuitive and communicative skills.

Ciao! Hello! Salut! Γεια σας ¡Hola! Hallo! Czesc! Здравствуйте

bla bla bla

The Italian word for Journey is Viaggio from the Latin word - viaticum - which expresses not just the journey itself but also the essential items you need to take with you. But what are those indispensable items you need to pack before setting out on your travels? Guide books, comfortable shoes and a pocket dictionary are no longer enough.

No one leaves without the adrenaline, the curiosity and the desire to discover unfamiliar destinations and distant lands. People and places that remain part of the journey but leave a lasting impression, memories imprisoned in photographs or represented by a precious charm on your Composable bracelet.

bla bla bla
bla bla bla

Experiences, memories and emotions captured in precious symbols for you to add to your bracelet to celebrate your own life journey and those unforgettable moments you have experienced or shared with people around the world.

Create your bracelet with all the symbols of your trip to remember the places you have visited and to share with the people you meet on your next adventure.

August is ending and a cooler wind blows... At this time of year we are leaving the holiday season behind and starting to settle back into our daily routine but Virgos are still looking for something new to start the season... so why not freshen up your look by adding some stunning gems and jewels to your jewellery collection? Sometimes just a small change can make a big difference: a new hair style, a new dress and.. of course, a new piece of jewellery to brighten your day and add a little Italian style to make you smile! Read your sparkling horoscope to discover the perfect piece of jewellery for your new start!

composable

THE SIGN OF VIRGO
Reliable and concrete, analytical and precise, Virgos are perfectionists. But, at the same time, they are really helpful and generous; with friends they are good listeners and they can give useful advice. Virgos in love are a little bit less rational, they like daydreaming about their soul mate and maybe, after a long search, they will find them!

THE PERFECT JEWELLERY FOR VIRGO: A PRECIOUS PASSE-PARTOUT
The perfect jewel for Virgos is easy to wear and perfect for every occasion. A day-to-night piece of jewellery: wear it to add edge to your office style and, after dark, it will be the precious and glamourous touch for your night out! Choose your favourite Trendsetter bracelet: for her and for him!

THIS MONTH'S INSPIRATION: ROMANCE IN BLACK
Gothic Romance: this will be one of the new trends for autumn. Virgos, it's your month so we suggest that you shake up your precise and trusty image with something a little darker, still elegant and, to be right on trend, without forgetting to add a hint of romance! For her: a bracelet from the Flair Romance Collection with black rhodium treated finish and a sparkling infinity symbol that will light up the next season with bright promises. For him: create your Composable bracelet with a black base bracelet, the symbols that tell your unique story and a romantic red heart!

Who has always been by your side and knows you best? You'll want them to stand next to you at the altar when you take that step and, of course, have some fun as you get everything ready for the big day!

#3 The Big Day:
The dress and wedding suit are laid out and now you just need to choose the right jewellery and accessories. Don't panic, it's easier than it seems. Choose something simple and elegant, that highlights your best features.

For the Bride: Sterling silver jewellery from the Flair Forever Collection with its sparking knot, the perfect symbol of a lasting promise, or a Bella Collection parure, with gold finish and Swarovski pearls. The Must Have for the modern groom who loves details is a set of cufflinks from the Style Collection. Then add a special touch with a Composable bracelet for the groom to tell your story.

#4 Wedding anniversary:
The wedding is a lovely memory now and you've been on a new adventure with lots of new shared moments. Nothing is better than a lovely gift or a little surprise to let your other half know you feel so lucky to be together.

As you create your story, month after month, year after year, tell the story of your life. Mark each anniversary with a new Composable link for your bracelet or give her a precious Extension bracelet with the colours that she loves.
