Anklet : What is it?
| Anklets are also called ankle chains or ankle bracelets. They are worn only around one ankle to draw attention to the wearer's legs and feet. They are longer than most bracelets but are considerably shorter than necklaces or chokers. They are wide enough to hang loosely around the ankle but small enough to avoid slipping off the foot. They can be made worn over the foot, or tied, clasped, or screwed around the ankle. They can be attached with bells and charms for adornment.
Culturally and historically, anklets are worn by unmarried women in India. In the United States and other parts of the world, they are fashionable jewelry worn for casual and formal occasions. They are generally worn by women, although casual leather or braided anklets are popular among men. Gold and silver anklets, however, are confined to women's fashion. |

Design: Choose a slim anklet not overly decorated or too heavy to wear around your ankle, as a bulky one can constrict your movements and make you feel uneasy. It should feel as if it is not there that you forget you are wearing one after a while.
Charms: Choose an anklet with no sharp or pointed charms that can cut or abrade your skin. |
