I brought it from the jewelry store on fifth Avenue in Brooklyn. Even went with my mom and dad to buy it lol. Her birthday is coming up this February and I wanted to buy her another one but couldn’t seem to find one. So I just looked in her jewelry box and found the original one I gave her 45 years ago. I happen to come across this page looking for an ankle bracelet and read all the posts and figured I jump in with my story.

If you were going out with someone and it was special, you surely got an ankle bracelet and wore around your neck too. Just as you described so it was definitely not just a brooklyn thing. I wish they still had them now. I can't find them anywhere. They were so cool.

But, on May 29th 2016 my daughter wore it around her ankle on the day of her wedding as something OLD. That was the last time that I have seen it. Still kind of heart broken about it but, my daughter got to wear us on that day. Hoping that one day I will find it.msgadgethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15160541320670155997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27963326.post-56062050229606031002020-05-25T13:02:54.587-07:002020-05-25T13:02:54.587-07:00Thats awesome.
