Anklet Jewelry Brand: Silver.ag
Jewelry and accessories for female feet has been a common practice in India
, Egypt, and the Middle East for centuries, and these vary from henna art to anklet bracelets. Ankle chains, or commonly known as anklet, also became popular in the West in the late twentieth century, and remain as distinct fashion statements today.
Whether in flexible or inflexible designs, anklets are sometimes combined with semiprecious stones and several chain patterns that are usually handcrafted and unique per piece. Some anklets are designed with additional intricate chains that lead to toe rings, which is a popular fashion statement in India. These can also be made with gold, silver, leather, nylon, or plastic beads threaded together for a new look.
The inflexible designs are simple flat metal sheets that are given shape, making them look sort of like a cuff or bangle type. These can be quite attractive although some may give that "slave" look when bought as plain sheets or solid metal rings with little to no stone or chain accessories.
The anklets that follow the flexible design are the most commonly fashionable, as makers of these can be a little more creative playing with chains and charms as well as semiprecious or precious stones to attract attention. Some of these flexible anklets can be so intricately combined that they almost look like the cuff-like inflexible ones as they are a combination of chains almost knitted together into a solid pattern.
Traditionally, anklets are accented with little bells that give off a tinkling sound, giving them a sexual connotation as they attract one's attention to the wearer. In the Western world, they are usually worn with revealing summer outfits and pretty sandals depending on preference, as sometimes these can also be worn for formal occasions to accent a simple, pretty black dress and pumps.
Adding accent to the most uncommon portion of the body, the feet, has given these simple jewelry pieces their own niche in historical tradition as well as contemporary fashion. Generations will see this trend consistently highlighted for many years to come, as anklets, regardless of simple or intricate design, are always a tasteful way to show off something that shouts pure female attractiveness.
