Anklet
Holman Bible Dictionary
Ornamental rings worn above the ankles. The KJV has “tinkling ornaments about their feet” (Isaiah 3:18; compare Isaiah 3:16 ). Anklets were luxury items worn by the women of Jerusalem during the days of Isaiah. Archaeologists have recovered anklets that date to the biblical period. They are made of bronze, from 2 1/2 to 4 1/2 inches in diameter and from about 2/10 to 4/10 of an inch wide.
