Steel Beast Anklet

These anklets are serious business! Do you need to add some more jingle to a belly dance costume, a bit of whimsy to your LARP garb, or a personal locator device to your renaissance faire outfit? Do you just want to make a lot of noise? I’ve got you covered.

The important stuff:
Length: The one with 5 bells is 13″/33cm total, from end to end; the one with all the ghungroos is 14.25″.
Weight: about 5 ounces each–they’ve got some heft!
Anklet body: Stainless steel
Clasps: Silver plated brass
Bells: Brass & plated brass
The bigger bells are 2cm/.75″ across, and 3cm/1.2″ from top to bottom.

Two clasps means these anklets are more adjustable than ones with single clasps: when you wear it, you wrap it as far around your ankle as is comfortable and clip it to itself twice. At 13″ long, they’ll fit most ankles as well as a lot of boots. Double clasps also means you can hook ’em to a belt, link ’em into garb, or even clip them to a dance top.

Stainless steel is great for people with metal allergies and for people who are rough on jewelry. It will not rust or tarnish or discolor, and will take a lot of abuse. (Not to mention–if anything bad happens, catch up with me at a show or send it back, and I’ll fix it.)

So let’s talk bells:
The big bells on these anklets are Rajasthani brass bells, and sound almost like sleighbells. The little guys are clapperless bells, and make a pretty little jingling sound. Together . . . Well, your friends won’t lose you in a store. These aren’t your average little craft store Christmas bells!

Wondering what happens if you wear one of these anklets for a long time?
The little silvery ones dull to a muted silver, and the big brass ones just get a little less shiny. You can polish ’em if you’re determined! As far as the ghungroos, I’ve only ever seen them change color if a person left them sit somewhere wet for long enough that the brass started to turn.

Need it a little bigger? Want to mix & match your bell colors? Need a matching necklace, or bracelet? Let me know.
