Like some Victorian gentleman, I can't resist a flash of ankles 😆

Anklets

This is a piece of jewellery that I have always loved, whether they are solid rings often made of gold, silver and brass or the flexible chain versions that sometimes come with little bells so you can make a tinkling sound when you walk, I adore them all.

The first time I ever saw ghungroo, the dancing bells worn by classical Indian dancers, I became obsessed with them. They are used to accentuate the rhythmic aspects of the dance and enable the audience to hear the complex footwork.

There is plenty of historical evidence for anklets being used as ornamentation as well as in dance for hundreds of years.

In Thai dance the anklets help to draw attention to the dancers footwork as well as serving as a historic reminder that in ancient times, men also wore anklets as a sign of status in some cultures.

Florence strolled around town this summer in a @f.a.u.n.e Posy Laurel house dress and carrying, what seems to be, the @lapetitesardine.pt rope cotton net bag.

It wouldn't be a Flo-outfit without a stack of rings: this time, her signature @gucci plain gold F and W initial rings and the @sophietheakstonjewellery gold snake ring with scales and the flaming heart intaglio carved quartz crystal ring.

Her friend Christina Grasso, a.k.a. @thepouf, is wearing a @gucci aged gold lion head ring and a @tessametcalfe pigeon grasp ring in silver with gold nails.

Bee Jackson, 1920s

From the book: "World champion Charleston dancer Bee Jackson wears a beaded and fringed dance dress, popular at the time, as the fringes would shimmer and shake and draw attention to movement. This dress is shorter than the typical styles of the era. Paste jewellery known as "slave bracelets" was often worn high up on the arm as well as the wrist."
