Inferior type of bangle (6)

I believe the answer is:

anklet

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'type of bangle' is the definition.

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for anklet that I've seen before include "footwear" , "Leg decoration" , "Ornamental chain" , "Foot ornament" , "joint protector" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
