Summer is the season of sun, fun, and travel. Whether you're planning a beach vacation or exploring vibrant cityscapes in warmer climates, having the perfect accessories can elevate your summer style. Anklets are a must-have addition to your summer wardrobe, offering a touch of elegance and cultural heritage. At ArtByZakia, we specialise in personalised jewellery such as anklets that allow you to celebrate and represent your South Asian and Middle Eastern roots with pride, with many modern day non-personalised designs too.
A Touch of Tradition
Anklets, known as Payal in Hindi and Jhanjar in Punjabi, hold significant cultural value in South Asian traditions. Historically, these ornaments were more than just fashion statements, they were imbued with meaning and symbolism. In many South Asian cultures, anklets were worn to signify marital status, social class, and even as protective charms against evil spirits.
In Punjab, the Jhanjar is a popular type of anklet adorned with tiny bells. These bells create a melodious sound as the wearer walks, symbolising joy and celebration. Such traditions date back centuries and continue to be a vibrant part of South Asian heritage today.
Modern Elegance with Timeless Durability
Our anklets at ArtByZakia are crafted from stainless steel with an 18k gold plating. This combination ensures that your anklet remains untarnished even when exposed to water. Whether you're showering, swimming in the pool, or enjoying a dip in the ocean, our anklets maintain their lustrous shine, making them perfect for your summer adventures.

Cultural Significance and Style
Anklets have been an integral part of South Asian fashion for thousands of years. Traditionally, they were made of silver, which was believed to have cooling properties and health benefits. However, modern interpretations have embraced various materials and styles, including gold-plated designs that blend traditional aesthetics with contemporary fashion.
