Gold & sterling silver anklets—minimal, elegant, and made to last.
Anklets
Anklets, explained
An anklet is a fine chain worn around the ankle, usually on its own and often through the summer. Ours come in 14K and 10K yellow gold, white gold, two-tone and tri-color gold, and in sterling silver: Singapore, rope, figaro, paperclip and herringbone chains, many with a small heart or bead.
How to choose an anklet
Measure just above the ankle bone and add about half an inch, so the anklet moves without sliding over the foot; a typical adult anklet is 9 to 10 inches. A fine chain of 1 to 2 mm is the classic look, and a twisting Singapore or rope chain catches the light as you walk. Gold is the better choice for anklets worn in the sea or the pool, because it will not tarnish; silver is lighter on the budget but needs more care.
What size anklet should I get?
Measure just above the ankle bone and add about half an inch. A typical adult anklet is 9 to 10 inches.
Which ankle do you wear an anklet on?
Either. There is no rule; wear it on whichever side you prefer.
Can you wear a gold anklet in water?
Yes. 14K and 10K gold do not tarnish; rinse off salt water and sunscreen.
