How do you measure the correct size for an ankle bracelet?

How to measure your ankle for an anklet?

An anklet should fit comfortably: not too tight, but also not slipping off. Follow the +1–1.5 cm rule and use our size chart to choose the perfect length. View our anklets collection.

Step 1: Accurately measure your ankle

  1. Take a flexible tape measure and wrap it around your ankle, just above the ankle bone
  2. Note down the tight circumference (e.g., 22 cm)
  3. Add +1 cm for a snug fit or +1.5 cm for a bit more slack
  4. Round up to the nearest whole centimeter
    Example: 22 cm + 1.5 cm = 23.5 cm → choose size 24 cm

Step 2: Use our anklet size chart

Ankle circumference Anklet length Size
20–21 cm 22–23 cm S
22–23 cm 24–25 cm M
24–25 cm 26–27 cm L
26–27 cm 28–29 cm XL

Step 3: Choose the right model

  • Adjustable chain anklets – slider clasp fits 22–29 cm. Ideal if you're unsure about the size or as a gift
  • Fixed links – measure precisely and choose the closest size from the table
  • Charm anklets – add +1.5 cm for extra room around the charms

Styling tips for your anklet

  • Wear a steel anklet with a matching bracelet in the same metal for a coordinated look
  • Mix silver-toned anklets with green charms for a fresh summer style
  • Wear a gold-toned anklet barefoot or with sandals for a summery boho look
Can I shower with a stainless steel anklet?
Yes, stainless steel is waterproof. Afterwards, dry the anklet well with a soft cloth to remove soap residue and maintain its shine.
What if I'm between two sizes?
Choose the larger size for more comfort, or opt for an adjustable model with a slider clasp that fits from 22 to 29 cm.
Are there anklets for men?
Yes, sturdy link anklets in size L or XL (26–29 cm) fit comfortably around a man's ankle. Choose a wider link in silver-toned or black stainless steel for a rugged look.
How do I wear multiple anklets at once?
Combine a delicate chain anklet with a link model for a layered effect. Keep the same metal color for a cohesive look. Make sure the anklets aren't too tight when stacking them.
Is an anklet suitable as a gift?
Yes! Choose an adjustable model so you don't need to know the exact size. Adjustable anklets fit almost everyone and are a popular summer gift.
