Waterproof Anklet

Yes, depending on the material.

Waterproof anklets tend to be made from stainless steel, which stays rush-free and won't leave your skin green even after getting wet. Sweat can also cause damage, so silicone and plastic are also great waterproof options.

Anklets made from silver and metal aren't waterproof. They may look nice, but will not last long if you're not careful.

Wondering if your anklet can handle a shower? Always check the description or ask the jeweller for help if you're unsure.

If it's waterproof, go ahead!

If not, it's safer to take it off along with any other jewellery before getting in. Water alone can cause damage, but shampoo and soap chemicals can speed up tarnishing.

Even if it's labelled waterproof, it's smart to play it safe. In a worst case scenario, it could slip off and be swept down the drain!

So, remove it and put it safely on a shelf to be worn again once you're completely dry. Even better - store it in an airtight box safely away from humidity.

Anklets are very old pieces of jewellery that were worn in different cultures. This gives them a rich background in symbolism and still influences the decision to wear them today.

Anklets have been used to represent social status since ancient times. Egyptian women married to wealthy men would wear lots of gold jewellery, including anklets. Slaves, on the other hand (or foot), wore anklets made from wood or animal bone.

Our collection of anklets features a lovely Double Satellite Chain Anklet to make you feel like royalty.

Have peace of mind that there is no 'wrong' way to wear anklets. You can even wear them as bracelets if you wish!

Having said this, there is a sort of belief that depending on which ankle you choose, waterproof anklets will symbolise something different.

For instance, some say wearing it on your left ankle represents romance, whereas the right ankle means friendship.

It's also important to note that wearing your waterproof anklet on your left ankle may symbolise to others that you are in an open relationship. This is quite a rare connection people make, though, so don't worry too much about it.

Want to experience the joy of a charm bracelet without the fear of it getting in the way of your day-to-day life?

Adding charms to waterproof anklets is perfect for those wanting to make a statement while on the down low. Whether your job requires no bracelets or you're always busy with your hands, an anklet will stay tucked out of the way.

You can add more than one charm, too; how about a collection? Anklets come in a wide selection of styles, some already with charms, and are typically fine chains.

Beaded anklets are much easier to personalise and tend to be stretchy for added comfort. If you're ready to enjoy a beaded bracelet to complement your anklet, look into our Grey Marble Beaded Bracelet.
