Payal styles, from beaded to ghungroo
A sterling silver anklet for women can be many things. The thin chain version sits flat and quiet, easy for office and everyday. The beaded payal adds tiny silver balls that catch the light as you walk. Ghungroo anklets bring the bells, that traditional sound mothers and grandmothers know by ear. Oxidised silver anklets carry an antique, darkened finish for a more tribal, handcrafted look, lovely with cotton sarees and kurtas. We make these for women and for girls, and lighter, rounded designs for babies too, where safety and a smooth edge matter most. Looking for something for the toes to match? See our silver toe rings.
Single or pair, and how to choose
Anklets are sold both ways. A single silver anklet works as a minimal piece, often worn on one foot for a modern look. A pair gives you the symmetry and the fuller sound that suits weddings and pujas. For daily wear, many women keep a slim 925 silver payal on each foot and forget it is even there. For occasions, go heavier, with more bells or a broader chain. Browse the rest of our silver jewellery for women to build a set that holds together.
Getting the fit and the care right
Sizing matters. Most anklets run 9 to 11 inches and many are adjustable with an extender chain, so measure around the narrowest part of your ankle and add a little room. Silver sells by weight, so a 10 gram payal costs less than a 22 gram ghungroo design in the same style, simply because there is less metal in it. Keep your silver dry, away from perfume and chlorine, and store it in a soft pouch. Wipe oxidised pieces gently so you keep the dark finish. Pair an anklet with our silver waist chain for a full traditional look. Each piece is part of our wider silver jewellery collection, handcrafted in Lucknow.
