Anklet size is all about comfort plus a little swing. Here’s the simplest way to get it right the first time:

• Step 1: Wrap a soft tape measure (or a string you can measure later) around your ankle, just above the ankle bone where an anklet naturally sits.
• Step 2: Decide your vibe.
  • Snug fit: add 0.25–0.5 in (0.6–1.3 cm)
  • Standard drape: add 0.5–1 in (1.3–2.5 cm)
  • Loose/relaxed: add 1–1.5 in (2.5–3.8 cm)
• Step 3: Check the extender. Most anklets include a 1–2 in extender, so you can fine-tune for sandals one day and sneakers the next.

Typical length guides (your measurements win, always):

• Youth/teens: 7–8.5 in
• Many women: 9–10.5 in
• Many men: 10–11.5 in

Fit tips from the pros:

• Summer-ready comfort: feet and ankles can swell a bit in heat—leave an extra 0.25–0.5 in for beach days.
• Shoe-smart sizing: want it above sneaker collars? Go closer to snug. Want it to dance around your sandals? Choose standard or relaxed.
• Layering room: if you’ll stack two anklets, add a touch more length to avoid tangles.
• Sensitive skin or kids: pick lightweight, smooth-link styles that won’t snag socks or skin.

If you’re in between sizes, adjustable chains are your BFF. They give you wiggle room for different shoes, seasons, and stacking.

Materials that go the distance (and how to keep the glow)

We’re big believers in beautiful, hardworking materials you can wear on repeat.

• Durable 18K gold plating: Think rich color plus a resilient finish that holds up to everyday styling. Our gold-plated styles are designed for shine that lasts, without the luxury price tag.
• Recycled metals: Many of our pieces incorporate recycled metals, reducing the need for newly mined materials while delivering the same gorgeous finish and strength.
• Thoughtful construction: Smooth edges, secure clasps, and extender chains keep your anklet comfortable and customizable.

Care cheat sheet for long-lasting luster:

• Last on, first off: Put your anklet on after lotions, SPF, and perfumes; take it off before workouts.
• Keep it dry: Remove before showering, swimming, or sauna time (chlorine and salt water are tough on plating).
• Gentle clean: Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after wear. For a deeper refresh, a mild soapy water rinse and thorough dry works—skip harsh chemicals or abrasive cloths.
• Store smart: Tuck it into a soft pouch or anti-tarnish bag to minimize scratches and tangles. Traveling? Separate pieces so they don’t rub.

Follow these basics and your shine stays bright, season after season.

Style it your way: sandals, sneakers, and stacks

Anklets are for everyone—dress them up, keep them casual, and try new pairings as your day shifts from beach to brunch to date night.

Everyday shoes, easy styling:

• Sandals: A delicate chain with a tiny charm feels effortless. Pick a drapey fit so it catches the light with every step.
• Sneakers: Go for a closer fit that sits above the collar. A simple link or box chain looks clean and modern.
• Beach-to-brunch: Start with a minimalist anklet for the sand; layer a second anklet or a slim bracelet on your wrist when you head to brunch.

Stacking and layering ideas:

• Twin the textures: Pair a sleek chain anklet with a slightly chunkier link for contrast.
• Mixed metals, zero rules: A two-tone moment makes it easy to match any shoe hardware or watch case.
• Add a little sparkle: Love an affordable stack? Pair your anklet with our Classic Tennis Bracelet (14K gold plated) for a budget-friendly glow-up. It’s a fan-favorite pick to balance shine on wrist and ankle without overpowering your outfit.

Coordinate with your smartwatch:

• Metal match: If your smartwatch band is gold, choose a warm-toned anklet; silver or steel? A cool-toned anklet keeps it cohesive.
• Texture play: Leather band? A rope or figaro chain brings a nice contrast. Silicone band? Try a sleek, minimal chain for a sporty-chic vibe.
• Color pop: If you switch bands, keep one versatile anklet (hello, two-tone) that goes with everything.

Outfit inspo for everyone:

• Minimalist mood: Crisp tee, relaxed denim, clean sneakers, slim anklet. Uncomplicated, always right.
• Weekend polish: Linen shorts, slides, layered anklets, tennis bracelet on the wrist. Easy elegance.
• Night out: Slip dress or tailored trousers, heeled sandals, single statement anklet and a subtle stud earring.
• Family day: Kids and teens love anklets too—think smooth chains that won’t snag socks, plus adjustable extenders for growth spurts.
• All-gender edge: Black low-tops, relaxed trousers, a medium-link anklet worn slightly snug. Understated but intentional.

Above all, let your anklet be a small spark of joy you notice every time you move. It’s the detail that finishes the look, not the other way around.
