Let's talk about adding a touch of timeless elegance to your ensemble with this solid Sterling Silver Spiga chain anklet. Measuring a dainty 10" in length, this beauty is not just an anklet—oh no, it's also available in necklace lengths ranging from 16" to 24". Deceptively strong and weighing in at a sleek 3g, with a width of 1.8mm, it's the perfect blend of strength and sophistication.
The Spiga Chain: A Marvel of Design
For the uninitiated, Spiga is formed of small figure-eight links that create a 3D chain, almost square in profile and looking as though the wire has been plaited. It's like a little piece of art hugging your ankle, or neck if you choose the necklace option.
A Little History Lesson
Did you know the wearing of anklets can be traced back to the Sumerians in the 5th millennium BC? Yes, indeed, these ancient urbanites were the original style icons. Fast forward to the mid-1960s, when the hippies embarked on the 'hippy trail' through Pakistan, India, and Nepal with their unquenchable thirst for Eastern cultures. This cultural exchange brought anklets into Western fashion, making them a must-have accessory.
Why You’ll Love It:
- Versatile Lengths: Available as an anklet or a necklace, you can mix and match to your heart's content.
- Unique Design: The Spiga chain’s intricate design gives it an almost plaited look, adding depth and dimension to your style.
- Historical Charm: Connect with ancient fashion history every time you wear it.
Shipping: The Glamorous World of Parcel Patience
UK Domestic Shipping: Fast but Fashionably Late

International Shipping: The Waiting Game
For my fabulous international friends, I need you to channel your inner zen master. Shipping times can vary wildly, anywhere from 5 to 30 business days. Why? Because customs clearance is a thing. Patience, darling. Good things (and sparkly ones) come to those who wait.
