What does an anklet mean?
An anklet can have different meanings, depending on the culture and context in which it is worn. This type of jewelry has been known since antiquity, so the symbolism has evolved over the centuries. In ancient Egypt, ankle decorations indicated social status, and the higher the position in the social hierarchy, the more valuable metals were used.
In India, this type of bracelet meant a magical power that men could not resist, so it was intended primarily for married women. These are just a few examples from a rich history. Currently, in Western culture, jewelry on the leg is primarily a fashion accessory, associated with freedom, ease and lightness.
On which leg is an anklet worn?
In the past, there were clear rules about which leg to wear a bracelet on. For example, the left one meant what an engagement ring does today, and the right one meant independence. However, modern fashion is much more flexible. Remember to always put your comfort first.
