Anklets
Anklet bracelets have been widely known among Indian single women for decades. An anklet bracelet is a woman’s accessory typically worn as a stylish ornament around the ankle. In East India, however, an anklet may also be worn on the arms as many think that anklets and bracelets can be worn interchangeably. This highly fashionable jewelry is made from different materials such as gold, silver, beads, leather or plastic. The size of an anklet is slightly larger than the bracelet.
In the Hindu religion, anklets are worn mostly by married woman. This is different for Westerners because single girls appreciate the cultural alternatives that come from foreign cultures and they seek to imitate those cultural fashions that married Indian women take on. Regardless of the origin of the culture, anklets are internationally popular today and are worn by many women across many cultures.
Similarly, regardless of its cultural significance, the typical anklet is made of less precious metal. Anklets made from gold are commonly given only to royal families. Gold ornaments are believed to have powers to cleanse anything that touches it. These rich metals provide a unique value to the jewelry that is cherished by women from all over the world.
Anklets are used for seduction stimulation in India. Indian poets love watching their lovers dance while the jingling of bells attached to the anklets sound. The dancers concentrate more on footwork and the positioning of the feet on the floor as this creates sensual and erotic effect. Through this, they anticipate the meeting of their secret lover.
In modern days, anklet bracelets are accessories used to adorn feet. Anklets are beautifully designed with small charms, beads and a variety of symbols like animals, flowers and hearts. Sometimes anklets are given to special friends to symbolize friendship.
Various designs of anklet bracelets are nowadays being offered from casual to formal to match a person’s attire. There are different ways on how to wear an anklet. Nowadays, this simple jewelry has made its way into the corporate world. Wearing a gold or silver anklet is not offensive, but instead adds more to one’s creativity and style. Some women wear simple sterling silver anklets for their workplace and bigger anklets for casual, everyday use or for special occasions. Whatever you like, anklets are the wave of the future!
