Anklets are back (honestly, they never left), and they’re the easiest way to add a little shine—whether you’re kicking it at the beach or clinking iced lattes at brunch. At Rochas Jewelry, we design durable, 18K gold–plated anklets that look luxe, wear comfortably, and go the distance. Even better, our pieces are made with recycled metals and arrive in recyclable packaging, so that glow feels good inside and out.
Quick win: Anklets are surprisingly versatile. Minimalist chains keep things sleek, while a few layered pieces can take you full-on boho. And because our anklets are crafted to be durable and color-rich, you can build a mini wardrobe you’ll actually wear all year.

Season-by-Season Lookbook: Women, Men, and Teens
Consider this your style playbook, from minimalist moments to beach-ready stacks.
-
Spring: Fresh Starts
- Women: Try a slim cable or box chain anklet with white sneakers or ballet flats. Add a tiny charm (a pearl or petite disc) when you want a little movement.
- Men: One clean, medium-link chain sits perfectly with low-top sneakers and cuffed chinos. Keep it simple; let the hardware do the talking.
- Teens: Dainty chain + pastel sneaker socks = instant spring vibe. Add a second thin chain for a subtle layered effect.
-
Summer: Beach Days and Poolside Stacks
- Women: Start with a minimalist chain as your base. Layer on a beaded accent anklet and a slightly chunkier curb chain for that effortless beach stack. Pair with slides or barefoot in the sand.
- Men: A single rope or curb chain anklet looks great with swim trunks and sandals. Want more? Add a slim leather or cord anklet for texture.
- Teens: Mix a charm anklet with a flat herringbone piece—cute, photogenic, and fun with high-top canvas sneakers or flip-flops.
-
Fall: Cozy Layers, Subtle Shine
- Women: As boots come back, anklets peek through with loafers and mules. A flat herringbone anklet keeps things sleek with knit dresses or straight-leg denim.
- Men: Go for a dark-sock-and-loafer look and let a simple chain anklet peek when you sit. It’s a quietly cool detail.
- Teens: Platform loafers + ribbed socks + a slim chain = on-trend without trying too hard. Bonus points for a tiny charm.
-
Winter: Minimal, Elevated
- Women: When tights and tall boots take over, choose an anklet with an extender so you can wear it snug over socks at home or show it off with a dress-and-heel moment for holiday events.
- Men: Keep it minimal with a classic chain under trousers, then switch to a thicker link anklet for sneakers on casual days.
- Teens: A petite, sparkly chain pairs with metallic sneakers for school dances and weekend hangs.
Pro styling tip: Build a capsule of 2–3 anklets—one minimalist chain, one texture (rope or herringbone), and one playful accent (beads or charms). Rotate by season and mood.
Sizing and Fit: Get It Right the First Time
A well-fitting anklet sits comfortably just above your ankle bone without digging in. Here’s how to measure and choose:
-
How to measure:
1) Wrap a soft tape around your ankle where you want the anklet to sit.
2) Note the measurement and add 0.5–1 inch for comfortable drape.
3) If you’re between sizes, choose the larger option or pick one with an extender chain. -
Typical size ranges:
- Women: 8.5–10 inches (most popular: 9–9.5 inches)
- Men: 9.5–11 inches (most popular: 10–10.5 inches)
- Teens: 8–9.5 inches, depending on build
- Pro tip: If you like a snug fit over bare skin, add ~0.5 inch. For stacking or wearing over socks, add ~1 inch.
-
Extenders are your friend:
Many Rochas anklets include extender chains for micro-adjustments (think sock days, swelling after long walks, or swapping from sandals to sneakers). If you layer, plan for slightly different lengths so they drape without tangling.
Quick Fit-Check Checklist
- Can you slide a finger comfortably under the chain?
- Does it sit above the ankle bone without pinching when you walk?
- When you point and flex your foot, does the anklet move naturally without feeling tight?
- If layering: Are the lengths staggered by at least 0.25–0.5 inch?
- With shoes on: No catching, no rubbing? You’re golden.
Layering Ideas: From Minimalist to Stacked
Whether you love a whisper of gold or a full-on ankle party, try these combos.
-
Minimalist Monday
- Single slim cable chain. Pair with clean white sneakers or ballet flats. Add a tiny charm for personality.
-
Mixed Metals, Subtle Rules
- Yes, you can mix metals. Start with your primary tone (gold) and add one accent in a cooler tone (like a stainless detail) for depth. Keep proportions similar.
-
Texture Play
- Layer a rope chain with a herringbone for contrast. Finish with a fine beaded anklet to soften the look.
-
Charm School
- Build around a single charm anklet (star, initial, or disc). Add a plain chain slightly longer so the charm takes center stage.
-
Sneaker Stack
- Pair a mid-link chain with a thinner chain, both sitting just above the sock line. Works for women, men, and teens—effortless and sporty.
-
Beach-Ready Trio
- Base: flat herringbone for shine. Middle: beaded or cord for color and texture. Top: delicate chain with tiny drops for movement in the sun.
-
Dressy Edit
- Two-chain stack (herringbone + fine cable) with heels or sleek loafers. Keep it close-fitting and polished.
Pro tip: Vary weight and width—one bold, one medium, one delicate—so each layer reads clearly and doesn’t tangle.
Care, Durability, and The Eco-Glow
Our anklets are 18K gold–plated over quality metals, designed for color-rich shine and lasting wear. With a little care, they’ll keep their glow season after season.
-
Everyday care:
- Remove before swimming in pools or hot tubs (chlorine is tough on finishes).
- Rinse with fresh water after beach days and pat dry.
- Store in a soft pouch or separate compartment to prevent scratches.
- Put jewelry on last (after lotions, SPF, perfumes) to minimize residue.
-
Cleaning:
- Use a soft, dry cloth to buff away fingerprints.
- For a deeper clean, a drop of mild soap in lukewarm water, quick dip, gentle pat dry. Skip harsh chemicals or abrasives.
-
Activity tips:
- If you’re active, pick a slightly shorter fit so the chain doesn’t catch.
- For stacking, choose different textures to reduce friction between pieces.
- Check clasps and extenders every few wears to keep everything secure.
Sustainability matters to us. Our anklets are made with recycled metals and ship in recyclable packaging. It’s style that respects the planet—and looks incredible doing it.
