An anklet is a long bracelet worn at the ankle. There are chain, beaded, charm and cord ones. It is a quintessential summer jewel and pairs with sandals and shorts.

## Length

Between 23 and 25 cm is usual; measure the ankle and add 1-2 cm. One with an extender adjusts better.

## Materials

925 silver, gold-filled and steel wear well in summer. Avoid anklets with fragile plating if you go to the beach.

## Clasps

Lobster and spring ring. If it is hard to fasten, choose one with a large clasp or an extender ([clasps](https://www.711grados.com/en/types-of-jewelry-clasps-and-earring-backs/)).

## Care

Take it off before swimming in the sea or pool: salt and chlorine attack metals. Clean with mild soap and dry it well.
