Anklets — which are also called ankle chains, ankle bracelets, or ankle strings — have been worn by women throughout history. Aside from functioning as foot adornments, they also signify social status. In ancient Egypt, women of all social classes wore them as ornaments. They were made of various metals. Some accounts also claim that worshipers of a deity called Baal prescribed the use of anklets for prostitutes. This was so these unfortunate women were easily recognized. On the other hand, in ancient Indian culture, anklets with charms dangling on them were worn mostly by married women.
