STYLE

The ultimate in accessorising, the anklet, ankle bracelet or ankle chain, as they are sometimes called, is very alluring. 

With a certain bohemian quality, anklets can look both casual in a relaxed beach-party-look kind of way but shouldn’t be underestimated as they can be dressed up for a much more formal occasion with a simple, but beautifully elegant, design.

Ankles have always been considered a very alluring part of the female body. In Victorian times, it was very tantalising for a lady to show her ankle and they would, very occasionally, be glimpsed under the hem of her long dress or skirt.  

 The symbolism of wearing anklet

 There are a number of different symbols and meanings associated with anklet bracelets. Here are a few of the most common:

• In ancient time, anklets represented femininity and fertility.
• Anklets symbolize new beginnings and change.
• Anklets are often worn as wedding jewellery, as they symbolize fidelity and eternal love.
• Anklet bracelets can also be used to represent religious beliefs or traditions.
