Have you ever wondered how we started wearing toe rings?

Surely you are not alone; there is a strong body of evidence to suggest that Toe rings were introduced to the United States by Marjorie Borell who, after returning from India began manufacturing and selling them in New York in 1973. Her first retail outlet was Fiorucci, a trendy fashion retailer located on 59th Street in New York. The "Original Toe Ring Boutique" sold toe rings in silver, gold and with diamonds. She eventually sold them in Bloomingdale's and many other retail outlets but because her designs could not be patented, she moved on to other ventures but retains the title of Toe Ring Lady to this day. India as a nation owns the credit of being the first peoples to wear to rings. Indian women traditionally wore toe rings to signify marital status.


Which is the proper toe to wear a toe ring?

The second toe of either foot is where they are worn most commonly. This is because proportionately it's the longest toe and thus the easiest toe to put a ring on and stay without being connected to anything else. In most western countries they are a relatively new fashion accessory, and typically have no symbolic meaning. They are usually worn with barefoot sandals, anklets, bare feet or flip flops.


Traditionally a toe ring was worn on the great toe of the left foot to indicate a married status. Some men frequently wore a ring on the big toe for curative purposes or to augment their masculine vigor. These rings were seldom closed circles but open hoops so that they could easily be removed.



Future of the toe ring market?

Although toe rings have been worn for hundreds of years in countries such as India as a sign of marriage, the story is the opposite in western world,this is however changing with more westerners embrasing the fashion of wearing toe rings and ecommerce as well as media ads promoting toes rings in various methods there has been almost an explosion of new and exciting toe ring designs out on the market. With a lot of celebrities wearing them.


Toe rings made from Sterling silver statistically seems to be the preferred precious metal of choice possibly because of his durability, beauty and affordability when compared to gold or platinum toe rings.
