I'm having a slight issue with this in my WIP. The heroine wears a certain accessory, a golden anklet with bells on it, which I'd planned to have come in handy when she encounters a group of characters who will only give her and her companions needed information in exchange for something pretty and shiny. Trouble is, the anklet has thus far only been mentioned on the first page, and I'm now over 100 pages into the story with no further mention of it. The shiny-thing-seeking characters aren't going to come in for a little while yet, either. How do I ensure that readers aren't put off by either a) forgetting about the anklet between pages 1 and 130-ish, or b) being reminded about the anklet to an obnoxious level every [insert number here] pages?
