Anyone familiar with the Italian Charm bracelets? If so, have any of you seen any in Italy? I and other members of my family have Italian charm bracelets and since I am going to Italy in July, I would love to buy add'l charms in Italy if at all possible. However, I wonder if this is a case where even though they are made in Italy, they are not easily found in Italy.<BR><BR>If anyone has seen them, please let me know where?<BR><BR>Thanks,<BR><BR>Lynn

I was in Italy last July in the company of 3 13-year-old girls, and I can tell you that the charms you seek are to be found...EVERYWHERE! Seriously, you will not have a problem. The Nomination brand are sold in jewelry shops, gift shops, and the shop manager (nattily-dressed older gentleman) at Gucci in Florence was WEARING one (and the shop sold the charms).

Thank you! I'm also glad to know that Nominations, the original, is available. And if someone at Gucci is wearing them, then I really don't feel bad. <BR><BR>Thank you again...adding one more thing to buy...the spending budget keeps getting larger and larger....

My wife has one of those and she is planning on purchasing one in every city we visit. I've heard they're cheaper in Italy that in the states.<BR>

I was actually in Rome for a week in February, and we only found one store that carried them ... of course we weren't visiting Gucci ... and I never saw anyone in Rome wearing them .. I hope they haven't gone out of style for your sake.

Genesea: What was the one store that carried the bracelets? Thanks!

Oh man .. there is no way I could remember the name. It was over by the Trevi Fountain but it was a little jewelry store ... impossible to remember the name. Sorry!

FYI, I saw them in jewelry shops on the Ponte Vecchio in Florence and even in a few smaller gift shops in Orvieto. &quot;The girls&quot; were always looking for new charms, so perhaps it just seemed to me that they were everywhere.<BR><BR>They do have a website, www.nomination.com and if you go to this link http://www.nomination.it/store_locator.php<BR>you should be able to find various shops in Italy that carry them.
