Quick answer
Measure around your ankle just above the ankle bone, then add room: about 1.5 cm for a close fit, 2.5 cm for regular and 4 cm for a loose, dropping payal. A 22 cm ankle needs about a 24.5 cm (9.5-inch) anklet for a regular fit. Payal with ghungroo look best a little loose, so the bells hang and move. Most payals come in 9 to 11 inches.
How to measure
- Wrap a soft tape around your ankle just above the bone.
- Pick the fit you like.
- Choose the style to see the length to buy.
