How To Measure Your Anklet Size At Home

Method 1: Measure Your Ankle Circumference

 

  1. Sit comfortably with your foot flat on the floor.
  2. Using a soft measuring tape or string, wrap it around your ankle at the point where you want to wear the anklet (typically just above the ankle bone).
  3. Make sure the tape sits snugly but not too tight - you should be able to slide one finger underneath.
  4. Mark where the tape or string overlaps.
  5. Measure the length in inches or centimeters.
  6. Add 0.5 to 1 inch (1.3 to 2.5 cm) for comfort and movement.
  7. Compare your measurement with the chart below to find your anklet size.

Method 2: Measure an Existing Anklet

  1. Take an anklet that fits you comfortably.
  2. Lay it flat in a straight line.
  3. Use a ruler to measure the total length from clasp to clasp (or end to end for continuous anklets).
  4. Match your measurement with the chart below.
💡 Pro Tips:
  • Measure your ankle at the end of the day when it may be slightly swollen for the most accurate fit.
  • Anklets should fit comfortably with slight movement - not too tight or too loose.
  • Allow 0.5-1 inch extra room for comfort, especially for chain anklets.
  • Consider the anklet style: rigid anklets need precise sizing, chain anklets are more flexible.
  • If between sizes, choose the larger size for comfort.
  • Measure both ankles if you plan to wear on a specific foot - sizes may vary slightly.
  • Traditional payals may have adjustable chains - check product details.

👶 Kids' Anklet Sizing Tips:
  • Age groups are approximate guidelines - always measure the child's ankle for accuracy.
  • Children's feet grow quickly - allow extra room for comfort and growth.
  • Lightweight anklets with gentle bells are best for babies and toddlers.
  • Avoid heavy or rigid anklets for very young children - flexible chains are safer.
  • Anklets should fit comfortably without restricting movement or causing irritation.
  • Traditional baby payals often have adjustable chains for growing feet.
  • Always supervise young children wearing jewelry for safety.

Note: Kids grow fast! When buying anklets for children, consider getting adjustable designs or the next size up for longer use. Safety first - ensure no sharp edges or small detachable parts.


Anklet Styles & Fit Guide

Chain Anklets (Payal)

Flexible and adjustable, usually with extension chains. Allow 0.5-1 inch extra room for comfortable movement and drape.

Rigid Anklets (Kada Style)

Solid metal anklets require precise sizing as they cannot be adjusted. Measure carefully and choose a size that slides on comfortably.

Adjustable/Extension Chain Anklets

Most traditional Indian payals come with 1-2 inch extension chains, offering flexibility in sizing. Great for gifts or growing children.

Thread/Dori Anklets

Often adjustable with sliding knots. Measure ankle circumference and add 2-3 inches for tying and adjustment.

For women: Medium (M) with 8.5-9 inch ankle circumference and 9-9.5 inch anklet length. For kids: sizes vary widely by age - always measure for accuracy.
How should an anklet fit?
An anklet should sit comfortably around your ankle with slight movement. It shouldn't be tight enough to leave marks or loose enough to slide off. You should be able to slide one finger underneath.
