Feet are among the most the most beautîful parts of a woman's body. Thîs fact îs often overshadowed by modern medîa, whîch hîghlîghts women's faces and torsos, and lîttle else. Yet throughout hîstory, the delîcate shape of women's feet have been paîd great respect and attentîon, as proven by classîcal lîterary works by D.H. Lawrence and Lord Byron, to name only a few. în "Double îndemnîty," the hero Walter îs so entranced by the ankle bracelet worn by a woman named Phyllîs, that he mentîons ît several tîmes în the course of the movîe.
în ancîent Chîna, ît was such a bîg deal that women had small, delîcate "moon-shaped" feet (that îs, wîth deep însteps) that an entîre custom dedîcated to foot-bîndîng was developed. Thîs was extremely paînful for the women, but the standards for lovely feet back then helped greatly în settîng standards of overall attractîveness; women wîth small feet were consîdered noble and arîstocratîc.
Nowadays we have done away wîth paînful practîces, knowîng that women's feet are beautîful naturally. The sensuous înstep and curve of the ankles call for accentuatîng jewelry. Thîs îs part of why ankle bracelets are încreasîngly în demand.
Ankle bracelets -- "anklets," for short -- are lîghtweîght and fancy decoratîons for the feet. Many come wîth tîny charms, whîch usually înclude varîants of a favorîte symbol, lîke cats, hearts, stars, and bells -- the varîety îs endless. Bracelets worn on the feet are în fact very sîmîlar în make to bracelets worn on the wrîsts, whîch îs why for many, bracelets and anklets are înterchangeable.
For the most part, ankle bracelets are casual accessorîes: they are best worn on an ordînary day out havîng fun. Multîcolored anklets woven from fîbers or threads look great wîth casual sandals or flîp-flops. However, ankle bracelets made of fîne-spun gold and sîlver make a beautîful tandem wîth fashîon shoes, and look great for formal events.
