What Are Nomination Necklaces?
Nomination necklaces are created by Nomination Italy, a jewellery brand that began in Tuscany during the 1980s. The brand is best known for combining Italian design with jewellery that helps its wearer express their personality, relationships and most meaningful moments.
While Nomination’s iconic Composable® bracelet introduced the idea of building jewellery from interchangeable links, its necklaces bring that same spirit of individual expression to more traditional chains, pendants and contemporary statement designs. Every Nomination necklace has its own distinctive character, with collections ranging from delicate heart pendants to modern bar necklaces, colourful beaded styles and sparkling tennis necklaces.
Italian Style with a Personal Meaning
Nomination jewellery is designed around the idea that the pieces we wear can help tell our story. Its necklace collections feature meaningful motifs including hearts, flowers, crosses, stars and other symbols associated with love, luck, faith and personal growth.
Although most Nomination necklaces are complete designs rather than part of the interchangeable Composable® system, there are still plenty of ways to choose something personal. Select a motif that reflects an important memory, a colour connected to the wearer or a finish that complements their individual style.
Some necklaces can also be layered with shorter or longer chains, allowing you to create a personalised look and combine different symbols, colours and textures.
Materials, Finishes and Details
Our collection of Nomination necklaces includes designs made from materials such as sterling silver and stainless steel. Depending on the individual piece, you can choose from polished silver, yellow-gold or rose-gold finishes.
Decorative details bring each design to life. Sparkling cubic zirconia adds light and brilliance to bar, heart and tennis necklaces, while mother-of-pearl and colourful beads provide a softer or more playful finish. You will also find smooth polished pendants and contemporary chains for a clean, understated appearance.
As materials, finishes and stone details vary between designs, check the individual product description before purchasing for the exact specification, dimensions and chain length.
Nomination Necklaces as Meaningful Gifts
A Nomination necklace makes a thoughtful gift because the design can be chosen to represent the recipient and your relationship with them. Heart and infinity motifs can symbolise lasting love, while stars, flowers and crosses may represent hope, growth or faith.
This makes Nomination necklaces especially suited to birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, Mother’s Day and other important milestones. Choose an elegant silver design for somebody who prefers classic jewellery, a warm gold-tone finish for a more traditional look or a colourful necklace for someone who loves to make a statement.
A carefully chosen motif transforms a beautiful necklace into a lasting reminder of the person or occasion behind the gift.
How to Choose a Nomination Necklace
Begin by considering how the necklace will be worn. Delicate pendant designs are easy to style every day, while cubic zirconia tennis necklaces and bolder chains create more impact for evenings and special occasions.
Next, choose the finish that best matches the wearer’s existing jewellery. Silver offers a cool, versatile appearance, while yellow gold and rose gold provide warmer alternatives. For a layered look, combine chains of different lengths and keep one shared detail - such as the metal colour or stone—to bring the pieces together.
Explore our Nomination necklaces and chains to find an Italian-designed piece that reflects your style, celebrates a meaningful connection or makes somebody special feel truly appreciated.
