These Tiny Ankle Bracelets Will Steel Your Heart

The Origins of Anklets and Their Meanings

The spring/summer 2016 runway shows brought forth a series of anklet designs and a couple of versions how to style them best. Chloe came up with tiny golden anklets matched with beach-ready iridescent flip-flops, while Marc Jacobs was an active proponent of elegant two-layered anklets to be paired with timelessly classic black pumps. But these are not the only anklet types happening in the fashion world.
Anklets can be of different designs, made out of various materials (gold, silver, leather, plastic, nylon, beads, and shells) and in a focal point of mixing and matching procedures. This may build a misleading guess that anklets are just go-go pieces, without any history behind them and without any symbolism hidden within them. Anklets do have history worth exploring and delving into.
While the Western culture could enjoy anklets only starting from 20th century, the history of anklets in the Eastern culture traces back to the archaic times. The first samples of ankle chains were discovered while excavating Sumerian tombs and if you have a good command of history, you are surely to know that Sumerians were considered to be the “cradle of civilization” living in the southernmost region of Mesopotamia over 4500 years ago. The archeological digs could explore and identify a series of ankle bracelets made out of different metals and stones whether precious or common.
