There are quite a few. Just look in all the hole in the wall shops that display jewelry. I can't remember the name but the best shop I found was in the square where all the museum statues and repro of David with the water fountains are outside. Sorry I don't remember the plaza name. I picked up 6 Italy links if Italian locations and there were a few more I didn't get because I thought I'd find them later (I didn't). Rule of thumb, get what you can when you can! Have fun.

I just returned from Florence in July of this year. There are several stores, you shouldn't have any problems finding them. The cost varied from 16 to 18 Euros, if they were true Nominations and/or Zoppini. I bought several for myself and as gifts for the women in my family and did get a discount as a result.

The "Italian Charm" bracelets are those stainless, stretchy bracelets with little designs on each square charm. You can add on to personalize them with initials, hobbies, causes, etc. They are all over the malls here in So. Cal. It is a fad that seems to be on its way out.

They're Italian charm bracelets. The best thing about them is that you can make them very personal. One of my friends has one and this is what's on it: a rose, for her daughter, an apple, for NYC, which she loves, a shamrock because she's Irish, a bat, because her son loved Batman when he was a little boy, and a J for her initial. Today we got the newsletter from our son's high school, and they announced that one of the jewelers in town has a customized charm featuring the high school logo on it!
If you go to Yahoo and type in "nomination bracelet" you will come up with a few hits and then you can see what the bracelets look like.

I'm showing my age now 
but how are these different from the charm bracelets we wore in the 60's (and my sister wore in the fifties?). You bought the bracelet and added charms to commemorate special events, just as dln mentioned. Our high school had special gold charms made for the prom date, school symbol, etc. Jewelers still sell special charms.
What makes the "Nomination" bracelets special? Thanks!
