An anklet

An anklet, ankle chain, or ankle bracelet, is an ornament worn around the ankle. Anklets historically have been worn for centuries by unmarried , though in some countries both casual and more formal anklets became fashionable in the late twentieth century. While in western popular culture both younger men and women may wear casual leather anklets, they are more popular among women, and more formal anklets (silver, gold, beads) are almost exclusively confined to women's fashion.
The anklet is meant to draw attention to the wearer's legs, ankles and feet. Apart from the aesthetic considerations, it is often meant for attracting the male's attention. They are sometimes worn with toerings–a ring placed on the toe in order to attract attention to the feet.
Left or right?
A survey carried out recently that most anklets are worn on the right ankle. The statistics were: 87% right ankle and 13% left. Perhaps this is due to more people being right-handed. Although in eastern cultures, anklets are worn on both ankles.
sexual connotation
Some women involved in the "Hotwife" or "Cuckold" lifestyle wear an anklet on their right ankle as a signal to others in the lifestyle that she is available. Other signals commonly used in this manner include wearing a toe ring on the second biggest toe of the right foot and a thumb ring on the left hand. These signals are codes that might only be understood by those in the lifestyle; many women wearing anklets for ornamentation.
Anklets can be made of silver, gold, and other less precious metals as well as leather, plastic, nylon and other such materials. In the western world anklets or ankle chains are mainly worn by younger females, but some older women also wear them.
