While buying ankles consider your skin type and any allergies you have for any metal. Silver , German silver, sterling silver has universal appeal  and the gold plated ankles are a hit with everyone. Artificial metals and mixture of metals used in jewellery can some times bring allergic reactions like skin reddening or skin rash, and also damage the clothes as in combination with body sweat and water.
Plastic, acrylic and also other materials are used to make anklets.
Too many loose hanging stones or pearls will hinder in your walk, so choose an appropriate anklet for the occasion. Short dress or three fourth length dresses and you can highlight your anklet but with long flowing dresses and sarees be careful while selecting too many hanging stones as they may get stuck in the clothes  or fall off due to friction with the clothes while walking.

Delicate patterns look very good on any feet and make the anklet a  style statement in any occasion and any group. Do not select too heavy metal for anklets as the weight of your footwear and this piece of jewellery will take  its toll on your feet and they will ache and pain. Anklets go well with even western dresses  and a  single pearl or gemstone anklet can highlight any formal attire also and give a trendy look. An important part of your jewellery  box anklets are sure  here  to  stay!

It has been said that a simple tip to check the originality of the pearl is to keep it between your front teeth lightly and move the teeth in grinding motion, original pearl has a textured grainy surface and is never  very smooth or even.Now  be very careful else  you may crack the pearl.
Then there is also another way to bounce the pearl in hand, it weighs more whereas the fake pearl may be lighter, but another hitch here, the fake may be made of glass  which is heavier.
Then of course go with your instincts, visual appeal, original pearls may not be exact round shape and all pearls in the necklace may not be of the exact same size and shape.
There is an original tinge glow to the original pearl which you can feel when you hold the gemstone in your hand, as other stones even pearl communicates to the individual who needs the healing.
