If you are adding an anklet to your summer accessory wardrobe, you might be conjuring some nostalgia of your girlish beach days, but today’s anklets are more of a fashion statement. We have outgrown the shell ankle jewelry of our youth and its updated version is chic and modern.
This new generation of anklets includes gems, diamonds, beads and charms (some of which are so large they make their own statement).
Options and Anklets
Some of the anklets you’ll see this summer are playing on their beachy heritage by paying homage to their shell jewelry days. This look now includes many varieties of pearls from a strand of freshwater gems to a chain with a single, delicate pearl.
Other options in this more fun-loving anklet category includes:
- Colorful and mismatched beads – which are having a moment of their own this year
- A chain with spaced out color or clear glass beads
Many designers are embracing this idea and updating it with their own twist to incorporate precious metals and gems to make some fashionable waves. You might notice:
- A delicate chain with spaced out gemstones
- Large, gold statement-making links
- Anything with diamonds, of course!
Show it Off
Don’t forget to add the perfect shoes to show off your new summer staple. Anklets look great with a heeled mule, but you can also create an exciting look when you layer your jewelry over a wrap sandal. If you want to add even more to your look, see how colorful pieces can do just that.
No matter how, when, and what you choose to wear when you try out this sentimental style, be sure your jewelry is insured before stepping out this summer. Contact Lavalier for your personalized jewelry insurance quote today.
