A bit of history
The first evidence that girls wore ankle bracelets refers to the ancient culture of the inhabitants of Mesopotamia. The Sumerian ornaments looked like a leather strap, on which numerous beads and pendants were threaded. Such accessories could afford only the wives of wealthy men.
A golden bracelet was worn by the foot and secured by the Egyptians. They decorated the bracelets with inserts of turquoise and precious stones. Representatives of the lower strata of the population also wore bijouterie, but it was made of inexpensive materials (silver, leather) and often acted as a talisman.
The most vivid and extravagant were the decorations of Indian women. They consisted of a lot of charms, bells and chains. A gold bracelet was worn on the foot during the dance to create a pleasant sound accompanied by rhythmic movements. As for the present time, women decorate their ankles with bracelets during the summer season, when the legs are exposed for public viewing. Such a stroke in the image looks piquant and even a little erotic.
