Buy an anklet: The underrated summer classic

The anklet is the least-known piece of jewelry on the body – and at the same time one of the most sensual. Sitting on the ankle, often only visible when approaching, it is a piece of jewelry for people who know what they are wearing without having to show it to everyone. This guide explains everything about anklets in 2027.

History of Anklets

Anklets have a history spanning thousands of years. In ancient Egypt, women of all social classes wore anklets – gold anklets signified wealth, while simpler versions were widespread. In Southeast Asia (India, Bangladesh), anklets (Payal or Pajeb) are still part of traditional women's jewelry today, often featuring tinkling bell charms. In Western cultures, they came into fashion in the 1970s (hippie movement) and again in the 1990s.

Why Anklets Are So Relevant in 2027

Three trends converge: the Beach Aesthetic trend (everything that smells of the sea, summer, and freedom), the Quiet Luxury trend (discreet pieces with meaning), and the Body Jewelry trend (jewelry worn all over the body). The anklet serves all three simultaneously.

Types of Anklets

Fine Gold Chain

The most classic of all anklet designs: a thin gold chain (0.8–1.5 mm) around the ankle. Discreet, elegant, almost always visible on a tanned or pale ankle. Very minimalist and very beautiful in photos.

Anklet with Charm

A fine chain plus a small charm – star, moon, shell, infinity symbol. The charm sways when walking, adding movement to the look. Very popular and very versatile.

Beaded Anklet

Small glass beads or real pearls strung together as an anklet. Boho look, very summery, pairs wonderfully with swimwear. Often colorful or in natural tones.

Surf Anklet (Cord)

A cord or woven bracelet around the ankle – typical for beach and surf culture. Very casual and natural. Often in natural colors or earth tones.

Combinations with Anklets

• Anklet + Sandals: Golden anklet over open sandals – very Ibiza, very summery
• Anklet + Barefoot on the Beach: The purest look – chain directly on the ankle, sand between the toes
• Anklet + Sneakers: Avant-garde and surprising – the chain peeks out from under the sock
• Multiple Anklets: 2–3 different thin anklets stacked – maximalist on the ankle

Sizing for Anklets

Measure ankle circumference (tape measure around the ankle joint). Standard women's anklet: 23–26 cm. Allowance for a loose fit: +2–3 cm. Anklets with an extension chain (3–5 cm) are the most flexible option.

Material Recommendations for Anklets

Anklets often come into contact with water, sweat, and sand. Best materials: 316L stainless steel (absolutely robust) or genuine 585 gold (water-stable). Gold-plated silver: Use with caution – regular contact with seawater will wear off the gold plating.
