Anklets in Sri Lankan culture
The anklet (or payal) has long been part of South Asian and Sri Lankan adornment, worn for everyday style and on special occasions and weddings. Today gold-plated anklets are popular because they capture that traditional look affordably and suit both saree/sarong and Western outfits — delicate fine chains for a subtle everyday look, or charm and layered styles for festivals and celebrations.
How gold-plated anklets are made (and what they're made of)
Glamon anklets start with a base of 316L surgical-grade stainless steel — the same corrosion-resistant, skin-friendly steel used in quality jewellery worldwide. A layer of real gold is then bonded over the steel (gold coating/plating) to give the warm colour of gold. Because the gold sits on a tough, rust-resistant base rather than a soft alloy, the result is far more durable and water-resistant than cheap fashion anklets that flake or turn your skin green.
Gold-plated vs solid gold anklets
A gold-plated anklet gives you the look of gold for a fraction of the cost, so you can wear it daily without worrying about loss or damage — ideal for active wear around the ankle, where solid gold would be an expensive risk. On a 316L base, the plating resists water, sweat and tarnish, making it a practical, everyday-friendly choice.
Quality you can trust
Not all plating is equal — quality depends on the base metal and the coating. Glamon uses 316L stainless steel with a real gold coating, every piece is hypoallergenic, and we back it with a colour warranty against fading. [CONFIRM: exact warranty period] As an established Sri Lankan brand with a Dehiwala showroom and islandwide delivery, we make high-quality gold-plated anklets easy to buy with confidence.
How to choose your anklet size
Most Glamon anklets are adjustable with an extender chain, so they fit a wide range of ankles. For fixed sizes, wrap a strip of paper or a measuring tape around your ankle just above the ankle bone, then add about 1–2 cm for comfortable movement. There's no rule on which ankle to wear it — either side, or one on each, is down to personal style.
