The Tailwind anklet is an out of the ordinary treasure within The Windblown Collection. A friend had mentioned that they would really like a special anklet for their daughter, and I remembered how much I used to love wearing anklets myself, but how they always tarnished and got ruined so quickly. It is rare to see a handmade anklet in any kind of precious metal, and so it feels like a luxurious and indulgent treat to wear this one formed in silver (I imagine maybe for a special occasion and on a beautifully sunny day! We all deserve a little spoiling sometimes and it is a perfect gift for someone who wouldn’t normally buy something so carefree for themselves). I love so many things about this anklet: charming 3mm faceted emerald and kyanite beads cascade from the pretty 1.5mm chain, on gorgeous silver headpins looped artfully through each link. Every so often a clear silver-lined seed or a short waterfall of thinner chain, creates glints enhancing the idea of reflection and sense of movement. It matches delightfully with the Tailwind ring and anklet, and the beading links it nicely to the Spindrift and Windcharm designs as well. The chain also threads through three tiny Windblown Collection signature V-shaped charms, distributed at even points around the anklet. 2.6mm diameter tube on the top of each V’s horizontal axes enables them to move freely back and forth between the beads placed either side. I can adjust the length of the anklet chain to suit your requirements, but if you would like a different length from the standard detailed here, please state this in the comments when you place your order, or send me an email. There is further information in the dropdown section ‘Chain lengths and ring sizes’, below. The detail The three V charms measure 8mm long from top to bottom, 8mm side to side and 1mm in width front to back, with the tubes’ diameter measuring 2.6mm. The standard length of the anklet chain is 24cm, with six 4mm extension rings at the end, each of which can be used to anchor the 9mm lobster clasp. A 3mm and 2mm jump ring descend from the six jump rings to to finish the chain beautifully, meaning the entire length of the chain (including all jump rings and lobster clasp) is 28cm/11". At its longest the anklet is 27.6cm/10.9" and at its shortest, it is 26.2cm/10.3".
