ankle chain

Foot adorning circlet

An ankle chain is a decorative chain worn around the ankle, typically as jewelry.

Also called an anklet.

Ankle chains may be simple metal links or adorned with charms and beads: She wore a delicate gold ankle chain all summer.

In some contexts, ankle chain refers to a restraining device used on prisoners, though this sense more often appears as ankle shackle or leg iron.
