Thy feet - rather, thy goings (Psalms 17:5). There is evident allusion to this in Isaiah 52:7 - "How beautiful ... are the feet of him ... that publisheth peace" (Shulamite, Song of Solomon 6:13).
Shoes - sandals are richly jewelled in the East. She is evidently "upon the mountains," where she was wafted (Song of Solomon 6:12), above the daughters of Jerusalem, who therefore portray her feet first.

Joints х chamuwq (H2542), from chamaqu, to turn] - rather, the rounding; the full graceful curve of the hips in the female figure; like the rounding of a necklace (as the Hebrew for "jewels," chalaim, means).

Cunning workman - (Psalms 139:14-16; Ephesians 2:10.)
