The shells hang in a row below a strip of dark wooden beads, so the sound travels with your feet and keeps time with you.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWhat you'll notice\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe rhythm arrives through your own movement. Each step, stamp or sway sets the shells knocking together in a light, dry, percussive rattle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe shells are a warm cream with natural variation in shape and tone, so no two look quite the same.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDark brown wooden beads form the band against the skin, with small flashes of green, yellow and red beads threaded between the shells.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt sits close around the ankle and shows well against bare skin or a plain white sock.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt adds a quiet layer of sound to yoga flow, a music circle, a drumming session or a festival day without needing to be held or played.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eShells, wood and a row of coloured beads\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe band is made of natural shells, strung in a single row. Above them runs a strip of dark wooden beads, finished with small coloured glass-bright beads between the shells that catch the light as you move. Because the shells are natural, expect gentle differences in size, shade and surface from one to the next. That variation is part of the look.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eHow to wear and look after it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWrap it around the ankle so the shells hang freely and can swing against each other. It works over bare skin or a thin sock. Keep it dry, since water is hard on shells, strung beads and thread, and store it flat or loosely coiled so the shells are not crushed. Wipe with a dry cloth if it needs freshening. As with any strung piece, handle it gently and avoid snagging it on rough surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eThe ankle shaker in context\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnkle rattles are a familiar companion to dance and drumming in many parts of the world, where the dancer's own body becomes part of the percussion. Shells have long been used as natural rattles, and wearing them on the ankle turns every footfall into a beat. This one comes from Indonesia, and it brings that same idea to modern practices: movement meditation, rhythm circles, performance and festival wear.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eSize and what's included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne ankle shaker. No measurement is given for the circumference, so check how snugly you like to wear it and how the fit sits on your ankle before a long session of movement.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eCommon questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it played or worn?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nWorn. It sounds through your movement, so there is nothing to hold and your hands stay free for drumming or dance.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill every shell look the same?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nNo. The shells are natural, so size, shade and surface vary slightly from shell to shell.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I wear it over a sock?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes. It sits well over a thin sock as well as on bare skin, and the shells still swing and sound freely.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SHAMTAM","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67941977948474,"sku":"DMI-19","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0756\/8307\/0266\/files\/kenari-shell-ankle-shaker-rattle-bracelet-20-shells-cover.png?v=1794136233","url":"https:\/\/shamtam.com\/products\/kenari-shell-ankle-shaker-rattle-bracelet-20-shells","provider":"SHAMTAM","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
