The correct way to wear an anklet is to position it around the ankle so it rests just above the ankle bone rather than directly on top of it. You can wear it on either leg, depending on personal comfort or habit. The important part is choosing a size that allows the anklet to move slightly without being too loose or so tight that you can't fit a finger underneath it.
What Is the Correct Way to Wear an Anklet?
The correct way to wear an anklet starts with choosing the right size for your ankle, then positioning it so it sits slightly above the ankle bone rather than directly on it, to avoid friction throughout the day. If you're wearing an adjustable style like the Rhodium-Plated 925 Silver Anklet with Circular Rings, you can easily adjust the length to fit the shape of your foot.
Some women prefer wearing the anklet on the right leg since it's more visible while walking or sitting cross-legged, while others prefer the left leg purely for personal reasons. There's no fixed rule requiring a specific leg — the choice is entirely up to your taste and daily routine. Every Silveraty piece is made of 925 sterling silver, meaning it contains 92.5% pure silver, and is rhodium plated to help keep its shine lasting.
Which Leg Should You Wear an Anklet On?
There's no specific leg required for wearing an anklet — it comes down to your personal comfort and what you prefer for everyday wear or special occasions. Some women choose the leg that's more visible while walking, while others like to wear anklets on both legs if they own more than one piece.
If you only wear a single anklet, try it on each leg at different times to see which feels more comfortable with your usual shoes. If you have a collection of anklets, you can switch legs from time to time without any issue — it's simply a matter of personal preference that varies from one woman to another.
How to Style an Anklet with Sandals
Styling an anklet with sandals is easier than with heels, since sandals leave the ankle and foot almost fully exposed, making the anklet a clear, visible part of the look. Choose simple or moderately detailed anklets for everyday sandals so the overall look doesn't feel too busy.
With flat sandals, a delicate anklet works well, such as the Rhodium and Gold-Plated 925 Silver Eye Anklet with Zircon Stones, where the zircon stones add a diamond-like sparkle without feeling too heavy for everyday wear. For decorated or embroidered sandals, it's better to choose a very simple anklet, like a circular-ring style, so the details don't compete with each other and the look stays balanced and neat.
How to Style an Anklet with Heels
Styling an anklet with heels requires more care, since the heel strap or back strap can sit close to the same ankle area. Choose an anklet that sits clearly above the shoe line so it doesn't visually overlap with the strap, and go for an elegant design that stands out without looking cluttered.
For evening occasions with high heels, a dangling design adds a clear feminine touch, such as the Rhodium and Gold-Plated Silver Anklet with a Small Dangling Palm Design. For everyday outings or work with mid-height heels, a simple, elegant piece works better, like the Whisper Palm 925 Silver Anklet with Zircon Stones, which adds a touch of elegance without too much detail, suiting both formal and daytime looks.
What Type of Anklet Suits Your Look?
The right type of anklet depends mainly on the occasion and the type of shoes you're wearing. For simple, everyday looks, go for lighter designs like a circular-ring anklet, and for events and evenings, choose pieces with sparkling zircon stones that add extra shine to your look.
If you like a touch of color, the Rhodium and Gold-Plated 925 Silver Blue Eye Anklet with Zircon Stones is a distinctive option that breaks the monotony and adds a pop of color to your look. Keep in mind that every piece is made of 925 sterling silver and rhodium plated, and arrives in an elegant box with a gift bag — making it a great choice if you're looking to gift it to someone close to you.
How to Keep Your Silver Anklet Looking Good Longer
Taking care of a 925 silver anklet starts with avoiding direct contact with perfumes and skincare products right before wearing it, and storing it in a dry place away from moisture when not in use. It's also best to remove it before any intense physical activity to avoid unnecessary pulling or friction.

Frequently Asked Questions About Wearing Anklets
Does the way you wear an anklet change depending on the type of shoes?
Yes, it changes slightly. With sandals, the anklet is fully visible, so it needs a balanced design, while with heels it should sit a bit higher so it doesn't overlap with the shoe strap.
Should an anklet be worn on the right leg or the left?
There's no fixed rule — you can wear an anklet on either leg based on what's comfortable for you. Some women prefer the leg that's more visible while walking, while others wear more than one anklet, one on each leg.
Is the zircon used in anklets a natural stone?
The zircon used is manufactured cubic zirconia, which is different from natural zircon. It's used to create a diamond-like sparkle at an affordable price.
How do I know the right size for an anklet?
Check the size details listed on each product page before ordering. If the design has adjustable rings, you can fine-tune the length yourself to fit your ankle precisely.
