Sterling Silver Anklet

It depends on who you ask. If you’re into astrology, you might swear by your silver anklet for boosting mental clarity and communication skills. On the flip side, followers of Hindu traditions wear silver anklets to ward off negative vibes.

However, you don't necessarily need a big symbolic, traditional reason to wear a sterling silver anklet. They are for everyone and look amazing no matter who wears them and for what reason.

The main question is, why shouldn't they? Let's mention the health benefits, which are arguably the most important reasons to wear one.

Do you suffer from skin conditions like eczema or psoriasis? Wearing a sterling silver anklet, which has anti-inflammatory properties, may be kinder to your skin. Silver anklets also work their magic by gently massaging your legs as you go about your day. 

Hormonal imbalances, irregular menstrual cycles, and the list goes on with the health issues silver anklets can help women with. You can double up their charm by wearing them as a bracelet too!

An added bonus - sterling silver won't turn your skin green or make it red and irritated. Men need jewellery, too, and are welcome to reap these benefits as well!

Worried to get off on the wrong foot? No need to worry, there's no such thing when it comes to anklets (in most cases). In some special cases, there will be symbolism connected to which ankle you accessorise, so let's look further into it.

Some say wearing an anklet on the left foot signifies relationship status. However, it depends on the culture. Some say the left foot signifies an open relationship, whereas others insist it means you are in a committed one.

The right ankle leans more toward the connotation of spiritualism. To promote a positive flow throughout your body and balance your energies, you should wear a silver anklet on the right. Our Dangling Star Chain Anklet would be perfect for spreading positive energy.

Or, if this is all a bit confusing, why not accessorise both ankles?

Got a new anklet but having second thoughts on its quality? Here are some tips to help you get to the bottom of it.

First of all, the easiest thing to check for is the '925' mark ー it’s typically placed somewhere discreet so look carefully. Some fakes can have this mark, too, so follow these next steps just in case.

For one, you can try the ice cube test. Place your presumed counterfeit sterling silver on an ice cube, and lay another one to the side. If the ice with the silver on top melts faster, then it's genuine. Additionally, there’s the magnetic test. This is a lot more straightforward ー just hold the jewellery up to a magnet. If it's not attracted to it, then it's genuine.

Finally, if you're still unsure, it's always advised to take it to a professional jeweller for a conclusive answer.
