Simple Silver Payal Designs
Light plain-chain 925 anklets made to be worn every day.
A simple payal is a plain-chain silver anklet with no ghungroo and no hanging work, made to be worn daily rather than kept for festivals. This collection gathers anokhi's everyday payal: flat curb and box chains, fine cable anklets, plain single anklets under ₹1,999 and pairs from ₹3,198. Each is certified 925 sterling silver with an anti-tarnish rhodium finish and BIS hallmarked — because on an anklet, 'simple' too often quietly means a thinner, cheaper metal. Sold as singles or as pairs, adjustable 9–11 inches, with COD and 7-day returns.
About simple & daily-wear silver payal
What is a simple payal, exactly?
A plain-chain silver anklet with no bells, charms or hanging drops — just the chain and a clasp. It sits flat under socks and jeans, does not catch on a saree, and makes no noise, which is why it is the one people actually keep on through the working week.
Should I buy one anklet or a pair?
Most buyers in India wear payal as a pair, and our pairs are priced below two singles. A single reads more modern and is the usual choice if you already wear an ankle bracelet on the other side. Both options are on the listing.
Is a light daily-wear payal strong enough?
Yes, as long as the chain is not too fine. Very thin chains kink and snap at the clasp within a year, so our daily-wear pairs use a sturdier chain that still sits light on the foot.
Will a daily-wear silver anklet turn black?
Sterling silver darkens from sweat, soap and humidity, and an ankle gets all three. The rhodium anti-tarnish finish resists it far longer than raw silver; wipe with the cloth supplied and take the pair off before a shower and it stays bright for years.
