Updated on June 3, 2016
Anklets are one of your very favourite pieces of jewelry, but they’re not always practical.

Come summer, however, your shorts will be dug out of the drawers and your ankles will finally be freed!
Check out these 15 easy anklet designs that are easy to make but totally impressive looking with a summer dress or even just your bathing suit.
