Indian Anklets are bracelets worn around the ankles, and there are various varieties. Pretty anklets hold special ethnic significance in India for centuries; modern versions tend to resemble more closely those worn by royalty than exactly replicating their looks, though more traditional varieties are also frequently available.

Gold was traditionally not used to craft foot jewelry in India due to being considered sacred metal; therefore silver became the go-to material for creating payal anklets and toe rings instead.

Traditional Indian anklet designs included everything from thick bangle-like kadas worn on feet, to delicate chains worn by nobility. More elaborate styles included payals adorned with bells that could tinkle, which often featured intricately-wrought designs on silver chains.

One distinguishing feature of classic Indian anklets is their constant wear on both feet – as opposed to today’s trend of only wearing one anklet at any one time. Of course, there is no restriction with modern usage; one could wear either contemporary ankle bracelets on both feet, or traditionally carved ones just one at any given time, depending on desired ‘looks’.

Indian culture mandates different anklet types be worn by women of different ages. Older married women typically opt for inflexible bangle-like anklets while young girls and brides-to-be favored multi-tier silver chains. Indian Anklets for children come in thin and light varieties – including those for infants equipped with bells on a thin chain which act like traditional baby monitors!

Indian ethnic silver anklets offer the widest array of designs and patterns. A minimalist option would consist of just a thin ankle chain without any additions; classic embellishments like mirrors, bells, shells beads or metallic nature-inspired motifs may then be added for additional flair.

These patterns typically feature small leaves, vines, fruits, flowers, peacocks and other artistic designs on pearls or black beads – while nowadays colorful beads have also become very fashionable – along with multiple ankle chains intertwined with ethnic charms or rows of small bells dangling from them.

Heavy and intricate styles often draw their inspiration from ancient pieces worn by royalty and display incredible metal work skills and intricate lattice work designs with stone studded patterns or exquisite clasps. One may come across anklet designs incorporating intricate lattice work or clasps made entirely of precious metals and stones adorning each clasp.
