Nodaleto and Julietta debut gold-plated anklet jewelry capsule

Nodaleto and Julietta have launched an eight-piece jewelry capsule that moves adornment below the usual neck-wrist-ear line, led by the Nodaleto x Julietta Petal Anklet Crystal at €260. The collection sends its sparkle south of the ankle at a moment when foot-forward styling has become one of the season’s clearest fashion signals.

The anklet is built from 18K gold-plated brass, Swarovski crystals and a flexible black cord, with an adjustable length up to 37 cm. Nodaleto listed it for pre-order and said it would begin shipping between July 20 and July 30, a timeline that places the piece squarely in the summer market, when bare legs and open shoes give ankle jewelry its best chance to be seen.

That visibility is the point. Nodaleto describes the capsule as its first ankle bracelet and as an expansion of jewelry for the feet, a line that fits the brand’s architectural, playful approach to design. Julietta brings a different vocabulary to the collaboration: the New York jewelry house, founded by Juliana Liden, has built its identity around vintage elegance with a modern edge and treats jewelry as a structural element in a look rather than an afterthought.

The pairing is also a smart commercial test. Nodaleto, founded in 2019 by Julia Toledano and Olivier Leone, has already used collaborations to widen its world beyond footwear, including work with Melissa and other fashion projects. Julietta, founded in 2021, first gained broader retail traction when Moda Operandi became its first global stockist in 2022. Together, the labels are trying to make ankle adornment feel less like novelty and more like a category with room for gold-plated brass, mixed metals and crystal-driven pieces that sit between costume and fine jewelry.

That is where the capsule gets interesting for jewelers. The format is unconventional enough to create conversation, but it still relies on familiar luxury cues: gold plating, Swarovski crystals, a carefully calibrated adjustable fit and a price point that stays below many solid-gold signature pieces. If ankle jewelry is merely a summer flourish, it will fade with the sandals. If it lands, it could give jewelers a new placement-driven way to sell the same materials with a fresher silhouette.
