Italian Bracelets

Italian Bracelets posts cover charm bracelets, modular link styles and the regional traditions that produced them. Articles look at the modular Nomination bracelets from Florence with their interchangeable links, the Pomellato pieces from Milan, the heavy gold link bracelets of Arezzo, the coral and silver work of Sardinia and the small twisted-rope bracelets known as cordini. There are also notes on the Murano glass bead bracelets that come out of Venice, on the religious pieces with miraculous medals worn on a thin chain and on how to spot a real Italian-made hallmark on a piece sold abroad.
