Charles Ellicott Commentary Isaiah 3:18

"In that day the Lord will take away the beauty of their anklets, and the cauls, and the crescents;" — Isaiah 3:18 (ASV)

Tinkling ornaments. — These were anklets, that is, rings of metal, with or without bells, which produced the tinkling mentioned in Isaiah 3:16. The “cauls” were probably wreaths, or plaits of gold or silver network, worn over the forehead from ear to ear, but have been understood by some scholars as sun-like balls worn like a necklace.

Round tires like the moon. — These were the crescent ornaments that were hung on the necks of the Midianites’ camels in the time of Gideon (Judges 8:21), and are still worn by Arabian women. It is probable that they were connected with the worship of Ashtaroth. Among modern Arabian women, they are regarded as a charm against the evil eye. (See Note on Jeremiah 44:17-19.)
