Nomination Black and White CZ Pave Link

Charm bracelets have so many benefits that regular jewelry just doesn’t have. They are personalizable, easy to coordinate (if you just change your charms), and can be built up as both a little package of memories, as well as a gorgeous accessory to whatever you’re wearing! People do have their complaints about them, though – fully loaded charm bracelets can be heavy, they can tend towards the shaggy rather than the sleek look, and there is no male equivalent. Well, nomination bracelets are an Italian version of the charm bracelet that addresses all of these little niggles! A clever linking system means that nomination bracelets can be personalized as much as you want, while still keeping them sleek and light. The design is just as suitable for men as for women, and there are also plenty of male-oriented links. We look at some of the best for July birthdays.

July-born friends and loved ones will fall under the irresistible spell of either Cancer (for those born until the 22nd of July), or Leo, for those born on or after the 23rd. Cancerian guys and girls both tend to be emotional, protective, a little on the shy and conservative side, but quite assertive and determined! Leo lads and lasses are passionate, colorful people who like a little drama and action in their lives. They are creative, childlike and sometimes folksy guys and gals.

Reading the Cancerian description (and perhaps living with one of them!), you can see the duality in their personalities. Shyness is mixed with a pull to the limelight, timidity with strength. The black and white CZ pave link at the beginning of the article expresses this perfectly! The link itself is sterling silver, but the backing for the cubic zirconias is yellow gold, helping soften the starkness of the black and white.

The birthstone for July is the ruby, and while you can get an actual ruby link (check under the Natural Semiprecious stones section of the Gemstone links), the faceted cubic zirconia links have all the deep red color and clarity of genuine, highly valued rubies, and none of the cost! We love the red CZA faceted link for Leos, with their flair for the dramatic and passionate and their love of color. Team up the red link with a yellow, green, pale blue, pink or even purple cubic zirconia link from the same section. Each stone has a beautiful vivid color – the yellow one is shown at right, underneath the red.

Cancerian girls, on the other hand, are likely to be a little more reserved and conservative. These ladies truly live in the heart, though – that is why we have picked the lilac cubic zirconia heart link at right for living and loving Cancerians! Check the ‘Love’ section of the cubic zirconia category for these links, with different love heart styles and stone colors available.

The dangle section does seem to somewhat defeat the purpose of having the designs of a charm bracelet incorporated into the linking system, we agree! However, the dangle charms are light, not burdensome, and bring a little liveliness and action to your nomination bracelet. They are usually more suitable for women’s nomination bracelets than men’s … and Leo women are the ones who will love the activity and vibrancy of the dangles. The Leo zodiac gold dangle link is shown at right (all the other zodiac signs are covered also), with its passionately roaring lion. Remind you of anybody?!

We also picked the purple lips enamel dangle charm for Leo ladies. The enamel sections, both the dangle and regular solid link areas, have plenty of color and energy for Leo women … and the purple lips symbol expresses what Leos would like to do to the entire world – give it a great big kiss! The lips also come in red and pink varieties, if you have a color-particular Leo.

If you’d prefer to keep the bracelet sleek and streamlined, there are red and pink lips available in traditional link style under the main enamel section, under the ‘Fun’ subsection. Why not match up a pair of lips, with a pair of wine goblets, for an even better night out?!

We mentioned that Nomination bracelets were as much in the men’s jewelry domain as the women’s, and you only have to flip through the sections in each category to see plenty of stuff for the guys. The sports section is an all time favorite for males – we love the gold boxing gloves link at right (in the Sports section under the Gold category) for Cancerians. These men are always willing to step up in defense of their friends and loved ones. Sometimes this is incredibly frustrating … but their hearts are definitely in the right spot! Help him pull on the gloves figuratively, rather than literally, with this link.

Leos are more adventurous and less confrontational in their choice of sports. These men prefer to find action, adventure and drama without actual interpersonal competition, making the scuba diving link under the Sports section of the Gold category a better choice for them. In fact, if he doesn’t already have a wetsuit, that should probably be your next birthday gift to him!

The enamel section really is worth exploring if you are looking for July birthday gifts for Leos. The color and variation can’t be matched in any of the other categories. Check out the Daily Life section for some very colourful and fun ideas, like the easter egg link at right. All the colors of the rainbow are included in it – just like in your Leo lady’s personality!

Nomination bracelets are cost effective to begin (only AU$2 per blank link, with no links running above AU$50), and there is an enormous range of different symbols and styles!
