Frequently Asked Questions

All You Need to Know About Gold Anklets

What karat gold is best for anklets?

Gold Karat for Anklets

14K gold is ideal for anklets—it's durable enough for daily wear and holds up to the extra abuse ankles take. 10K is tougher but less gold. 18K is softer and scratches more easily, so reserve it for occasional wear or if you prefer the richer color.

  • 10K: Most durable, budget-friendly
  • 14K: Best balance, daily wear
  • 18K: Richer color, softer
  • Solid gold over gold-filled
How do I size a gold anklet?

Finding Your Size

Wrap a string around your ankle above the bone, mark it, and measure. Add 1/2 to 1 inch for a comfortable fit. Standard sizes run 9-10 inches for women. Many anklets have extender chains for adjustability—look for that feature.

  • Measure above ankle bone
  • Add 1/2-1" for comfort
  • 9-10" fits most women
  • Extender chains help
Can I wear my gold anklet in water?

Water and Gold Anklets

Gold itself handles water fine—it won't rust or tarnish. The issue is chlorine (pools) and salt (ocean), which can weaken the metal over time. Occasional exposure is okay, but don't make it a habit. Always rinse with fresh water after.

  • Gold resists water damage
  • Chlorine weakens gold over time
  • Salt water is also hard on it
  • Rinse after any exposure
What style gold anklet should I choose?

Anklet Styles

Simple cable or curb chains are timeless and work with everything from sandals to heels. Figaro adds visual interest. Add a small charm for personality. For dressier occasions, consider a delicate chain with tiny stations of gold beads.

  • Cable chain: Classic, simple
  • Curb: Flat links, durable
  • Figaro: Pattern interest
  • Charm: Personal touch
How do I care for my gold anklet?

Gold Anklet Care

Gold requires less maintenance than silver. Wipe with a soft cloth after wearing. Clean occasionally with mild soap and water. Remove before applying sunscreen or insect repellent—they leave residue. Check the clasp regularly for wear.

  • Wipe after wearing
  • Clean with mild soap
  • Avoid lotions and sprays
  • Check clasp periodically

Buyer's Guide

14K Gold Chains Buying Guide

14K gold hits the sweet spot between durability and value. It's the most popular gold purity in the US for good reason. Here's what to know when shopping for 14K chains.

Why 14K Gold?

14K gold contains 58.3% pure gold mixed with other metals for strength. This matters because pure gold is soft—too soft for everyday jewelry.

Durability: Resists scratches and dents better than 18K or 24K.
Value: Costs less than higher karats while still being real gold.
Longevity: Holds up to daily wear without excessive damage.
Hypoallergenic options: Can be alloyed without nickel for sensitive skin.

For chains you'll wear regularly, 14K is often the smartest choice.

Chain Styles

Cable: Interlocking oval links. Classic, works with pendants.

Rope: Twisted links create a textured surface. Catches light beautifully.

Box: Square links create a sleek, modern look. Very strong.

Figaro: Pattern of short links then one long link. Italian origin, distinctive look.

Cuban/Curb: Flattened, interlocking links. Bold appearance, very durable.

Franco: V-shaped links interlock smoothly. Strong, lies flat.

Wheat/Spiga: Twisted oval links create a woven look. Flexible and comfortable.

Thickness and Weight

Chain thickness (measured in mm) affects look, durability, and price:

1-2mm: Delicate, best for pendants or layering. Handle with care.
2.5-3.5mm: Medium weight, versatile. Can be worn alone or with pendants.
4-6mm: Substantial presence. Better for wearing alone.
7mm+: Bold statement pieces. Heavy, expensive.

Solid chains are more durable than hollow chains. Hollow chains feel lighter but can dent or kink if mishandled.

Length Guide

16": Sits at base of neck (choker style). Best for smaller frames.
18": Most popular length. Falls at collarbone.
20": Falls a few inches below collarbone.
22-24": Falls mid-chest. Popular for men or longer looks.
30"+: Statement lengths. Can be doubled.

Consider your neck size, build, and how you plan to wear the chain (with or without a pendant, tucked under a shirt, etc.).

Color Variations

Yellow gold: Classic gold color. The alloy mix creates traditional warm tones.

White gold: Mixed with white metals (like palladium) and rhodium plated. Platinum look at gold prices.

Rose gold: Copper in the alloy creates pink tones. Romantic, trending style.

All three contain the same gold content—the color comes from the other 41.7% of metals in the alloy.

What to Check Before Buying

Stamp/Hallmark: Look for "14K," "585," or "14KT" stamped on the clasp.

Clasp quality: The clasp is often the weak point. Lobster claws are secure; spring rings less so.

Weight: Heavier usually means more gold content. Compare weights when shopping.

Construction: Solid vs. hollow construction affects durability and price.

Return policy: Buy from sellers who allow returns. Chains need to be seen and felt to judge.
