Toe ring

A toe ring is a ring worn on any of the toes. They are usually made of metal, but can also be made of other materials such as glass, plastic, acrylic, or wood. Toe rings are worn as jewelry and have been used for centuries in various cultures.

The practice of wearing toe rings is believed to have originated in India, with evidence suggesting they were worn as early as 1500 BC. In India, toe rings are traditionally worn by married women on the second toe of either foot, and are associated with marital status and certain cultural beliefs. The specific designs and customs associated with toe rings vary by region and community.

Outside of their traditional context, toe rings gained popularity as a fashion accessory in Western cultures in the late 20th century and continue to be worn for aesthetic purposes. They are often worn during warmer months when sandals or bare feet are more common. Toe rings come in a variety of styles, including simple bands, ornate designs with stones or embellishments, and adjustable rings that can be sized to fit different toes. They are generally inexpensive and widely available.
