Anklet Size Guide

Finding the perfect fit for your silver anklet is essential for both comfort and style. At Magpie Gems, we want to ensure that your anklet fits perfectly and complements your look. Our comprehensive anklet size chart and measurement guide will help you choose the right size for your new favourite piece of jewellery.

Measure just above the ankle bone. Keep the tape snug, not tight.

How to Measure Your Ankle

To find the right anklet size, follow these simple steps to measure your ankle accurately:

  1. Use a flexible tape (or string + ruler).
  2. Wrap above the ankle bone, around the narrowest part of your ankle. Ensure it's snug but not tight; note the length (cm or inches). 
  3. Add ease for comfort: see “Choose Your Fit”.
Quick rule of thumb: add about 0.5–1" (1.25–2.5 cm) depending on how loose you like it. This allowance ensures the anklet sits comfortably without being too tight.

Standard Anklet Sizes

Anklets come in various standard sizes. Here’s a quick guide to help you understand typical anklet lengths and their corresponding fit:

  • Small: 20–23 cm (8–9") —  suitable for petite ankles
  • Medium: 23–25 cm (9–10") — fits most average-sized ankles
  • Large: 25–28 cm (10–11") — roomier fit, ideal for slightly larger ankles
  • XL: 28 cm+ (11"+) —  For larger ankles or those who prefer a looser fit
    Custom sizing: If your ankle measurement falls between sizes or if you prefer a specific fit, we offer custom sizing options for our silver anklets. Contact us with your measurements, and we will create a bespoke anklet that fits you perfectly.

    Tips for Choosing Your Right Fit

    • Snug: ankle + 1.25 cm (≈ 0.5") or choose a size that is your exact ankle measurement for a snug fit.
    • Comfort (everyday): ankle + 2 cm (≈ 0.8") or add 0.5 inches (1.25 cm) to your ankle measurement for a comfortable, everyday wear fit.
    • Loose/boho: ankle + 2.5 cm (≈ 1") or more for a looser, more relaxed fit

    Style Notes

    When choosing the size of your anklet, consider the style and how you intend to wear it:

    • Slim anklets: closer fit looks neat and elegant (aim for snug/comfort). For delicate, slim anklets, a closer fit looks elegant and refined. Add about 0.5 inches (1.25 cm) to your ankle measurement for a snug fit.
    • Chunky or beaded: a touch looser often sits better (comfort/loose). For chunkier designs, a slightly looser fit can be more comfortable and aesthetically pleasing. Add up to 1 inch (2.5 cm) to your ankle measurement.
    • Charm anklets: leave enough slack so charms move freely. If your anklet has charms, ensure there’s enough slack for the charms to move freely without causing discomfort.

    Care Tips for Your Anklet

    Proper care can ensure your anklet remains beautiful and functional for a long time:

    • Avoid Wearing It in Water: Remove your anklet before swimming or showering to minimise tarnish and wear or damage.
    • Store Properly: Store your anklet separately in a jewellery box or in a soft pouch to avoid tangles and scratches.
    • Clean Regularly: Clean your anklet after wear with a soft cloth to keep it looking shiny and new.
        By following these simple steps and considerations, you can ensure that your silver or gold anklet fits perfectly and complements your style beautifully. Proper measurement, attention to fit and style, and regular care will keep your anklet looking elegant and timeless for years to come.

        Anklet Sizing FAQ

        How much ease should I add?

        Add about 0.5–1" (1.25–2.5 cm) depending on how loose you like it. Comfort fit is ~2 cm.

        What if I’m between sizes?

        Choose the longer length or ask us to add an extender for flexibility.

        Do different styles fit differently?

        Yes—slim chains suit a closer fit; chunkier or charm styles usually look better slightly looser.
