Modehistoria
Paolo Gensini founded Nomination in Florence in 1987. The brand introduced the Composable bracelet, which utilized a spring-mechanism link system made of surgical-grade stainless steel. This innovation challenged the traditional jewelry industry's reliance on solid gold and silver. During the 1990s, the brand gained significant cultural traction, establishing the modular charm bracelet as a staple of contemporary fashion. It remains a historical reference point for the democratization of personalized jewelry design.
