Ankle Bracelets and toe ring 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 and toe rings. 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
