A silver anklet, ankle chain toe ring, or ankle toering, is an ornament worn around the ankle. Anklets historically have been worn for centuries by unmarried women in India though in the United States both casual and more formal anklets became fashionable in the late twentieth century. While in western popular culture both younger men and women may wear casual leather anklets, they are more popular among women, and more formal anklets (silver, gold, beads) are almost exclusively confined to women's fashion.. Absolutely charming, ankle bracelets go well with any casual dress for women, occidental or oriental. They are particularly suited for summers when women love to wear sandals. The feet of an Indian woman are very often adorned with anklets. Anklets are of two basic types, i.e. the stiff and the flexible. The stiff anklets are either cast or fabricated by hammering sheet metal into the requisite shape. Using the techniques of chiseling, engraving, repousse, granulation, or threading and wire work, anklets are patterned. The flexible variety employs close interlocking of separately made links tied together either by using variations of chain technique or by threading together of links. Known as Jhanjhar or Paijeb, the flexible variety is often further adorned with jingle bells. There is no better music to the years of a lover than the jingling sound arising from the steps of his beloved.
