Women's love affair with jewellery is unending. This includes wearing jewellery that you would rarely see in men, like ankle bracelets or simply anklets. Anklets are statement pieces used to glam up your attire. They are mostly worn when your outfit doesn't extend to your ankles and when you are going out with your legs and feet exposed. Anklets help people's attention switch from your outfit to your anklets, but only if you are wearing attention-grabbing ones.
Anklets Over The Years
Anklets date back to the age of Bronze. They were traditionally worn by unmarried women in India and were also used to give a signal to men that a woman was around. There were tiny bells attached to the anklets so that a sound was created when women who were wearing the anklets were around. In some Southeast Asian countries, ankle chains were also used to limit the number of steps of women, thus allowing them to walk in a more feminine way. Anklets are worn by women today as fashion accessories.
Different Types Of Anklets
The two main types of anklets are the flexible and the inflexible anklets. Flexible anklets are made of flexible materials making the anklets move when the wearer moves. Examples are anklets with plastic, soft leather, and strings. On the other hand, inflexible anklets are those made of flat sheet metal and are said to be more sturdy and durable.
As with other jewellery, anklets come in a variety of designs and styles. If you are going to casual or formal events, wear silver anklets made out of Sterling silver. If it is summer and you are out for errands or just to go around the neighbourhood, they'll be perfect with sundresses and sandals. If you're going to the beach, wear anklets to spice up your minimal look. Our collection of gold anklets and brands like Thomas Sabo anklets are not to be missed as well!
In addition, it is also important to match your anklets with other jewellery you're wearing. The simple rule to keep in mind is that the anklets should complement and not go against your other piece. For example, match a silver ring with a silver-toned anklet.
Lastly, before deciding on a purchase, make sure that the anklet fits properly and that the clasps are working properly. If the anklets have decorative items in them like beads and gemstones, check to see that they aren't twisted or damaged.
