Smith's Bible Dictionary (1863)
This word does not occur in the Authorized Version; but anklets are referred to in (Isaiah 3:16,18,20) They were fastened to the ankle band of each leg; were as common as bracelets and armlets and made of much the same material. The pleasant jingling and tinkling which they made as they knocked against each other was no doubt one of the reasons why they were admired, They are still worn in the East.

ANK'LET. Though this word does not occur in the A. V., anklets are referred to in Isa 3:16, 1 Sam 30:18, Ruth 4:20. They were worn upon each leg and were as Anise. (After Tristram.) common as bracelets upon the arms,and were made of much the same Anklets. 1, 2, 3, 4. Egyptian Anklets. 5. Modern worn by dancing-girls. 6. 7. Assyrian, of iron and Bronze. {From Ninevah. Now in British Museum.) materials. The musical tinkling and jingling which they
made as the wearers walked were no doubt the reasons for their use. The ornamental step-chains worn by females, according to Gesenius, caused the short and mincing walk alluded to by the prophet in verse 16. Lane speaks of these ornaments as now worn in the East.
