Sterling Silver Zircon Anklet

An anklet is one of the few pieces of jewelry that only you decide when to reveal, hidden under a hem all winter and suddenly there the moment you put on sandals. This one keeps things delicate: a fine 925 sterling silver chain scattered with zircon stones that catch the light every time you move. It is not loud and it is not trying to be. It simply sits at the ankle and does the small, pretty job it was made for.

The chain is crafted from 925 sterling silver and the stones are zircon, chosen for the way they throw light against bare skin. It comes as a single piece in one size, with a chain length of 7.5 inches and an extension chain adding a further 1.2 inches. That extension matters more than it sounds, because ankles vary a good deal more than fingers do, and being able to move the clasp along by an inch is the difference between an anklet that sits right and one that spins. It arrives in a matching box, so it is ready to give without any extra fuss.

Wear it with sandals, with sneakers and cropped denim, or barefoot on holiday when it is the only jewelry you have bothered with. Because it is silver, it sits naturally with other silver pieces, so a slim chain bracelet or a pair of small studs will echo it nicely. Some people wear one alone and some layer two at slightly different lengths, which is worth trying if you already own a plain chain. Put it on last when you are getting ready, after lotion has been absorbed, and unclasp it before a shower or a swim so the silver keeps its brightness for longer.

Care

• Avoid wearing during exercise, as sweat will react with the jewelry to produce silver chloride and copper sulfide, which causes the jewelry to deteriorate and corrode over time.
