Product Description

Ankle bracelets or anklets are indispensable to Indian jewelry and to Indian history. Since the prehistoric times, the Indians have had a penchant for elaborately adorning their bodies with jewelry. Silver, gold, gems, and stones defined the intricacy of Indian jewelry. Indian jewelry exhibits a wide variety of styles and ornaments for almost every part of the body. During the ancient times, people religiously adorned themselves in stunning rings, necklaces, and anklets made of metals and crude stones. As jewelry making techniques advanced, Indian jewelry become more refined with gold, silver, and semi-precious stones. Traditionally, the wearing of an anklet is an important Indian custom used to express marital status and integral to wedding garments. Today, the anklet has evolved into stylish statements that can be worn by anyone. There are two basic types of this exquisite foot jewelry, the stiff and the flexible. Stiff anklets are either fabricated or cast by shaping and hammering sheet metals into various shapes. The artisanal techniques of chiseling, engraving, threading, granulation, chain techniques, and wire work make this handmade jewelry an exceptional piece of fine art. More commonly referred to as pajeb or jhanjhar, this flexible variety of employing a close interlocking technique is further enhanced with enticing jingle bells. It has been said that there is no better music to a lover's ears than the seductive sound coming from the steps being taken by his beloved. This beautiful sound has been a constant subject in Indian poetry for several centuries now.

A beautiful adornment and traditionally Indian. Wear both for the best look and try them out with Indian Juttis (handmade shoes in vibrant colours). They look awesome!!

I bought these although I saw the reviews prior which weren't so good. I made sure to measure my ankle before I ordere these and a good thing I did. they fit great, it's a delicate looking anklet. Beautiful detail, in short I love it. And it is relatively a good price compared to the other silver anklets.

While the anklets are gorgeous...they are too small. And I'm unable to contact the seller about exchanging them. Email addresses are dead, mail just gets sent back to me. Googled their site, found a phone number, which is also dead. Finally emailed them through Amazon, and have yet to hear anything! This is ridiculous! I'm trying to figure out how to contact Amazon about them...what's the point in paying for an item that you cannot wear if you can't contact the seller?

My advice...make sure the sizes match. If not, then get ready to loser your money, as you WILL NOT be able to get in touch with them. Nor will you ever hear from them again, except when they want to buy more of their goods!

Very very disatisfied!
