It's no secret that almost all girls love jewelry. Some prefer bracelets, some prefer earrings, and some like to wear rings. By the way, experts believe that a ring is an accessory that can influence a person’s fate.
Nowadays, you can often find girls who put a ring on their toe. However, not everyone who wears this accessory in this way knows the history of the fashion for it, what the rings on the feet mean, and how they should be worn.
This accessory can tell the people around you many interesting features of its owners. That is why every girl should learn all the nuances of wearing toe rings correctly.
Ankle ring: where did its story begin?
One of the Hindu customs is to put a ring on your toe. It was believed that this decoration could make a woman more desirable and beautiful. The history of the ankle ring goes back centuries. There are mentions of him in the sacred epics “Mahabharata” and “Ramayana”. It said that a toe ring enhances the beauty of the girl wearing it.
When talking about an ankle ring, one cannot fail to mention the civilizations of Mohenjodaro and Harappa, because it was they who significantly influenced the development of jewelry in the countries of India and the East. Many portraits of gods with similar decorations have survived to this day. India has been the leading supplier of jewelry and precious stones since the third millennium AD. In this country, such an accessory as a toe ring meant only one thing: the woman who wears it is married. Neither the bride's image nor the wedding ceremony were complete without this decoration. The wedding ceremony itself included the moment when the groom put the ring on the bride's toe. In India, it was customary to wear one ring on the second toe of the left foot or two rings on both feet. In some cases, the toe ring could be attached to a bracelet that was placed on the ankle. A similar silver accessory is common in India.
Who wears rings on their feet and why?
Girls begin to wear such original jewelry for various reasons. For example, those people who practice eastern spiritual teachings or yoga were ordered to wear an ankle ring by the Buddha himself. Among those who engage in various esoteric practices, such an accessory has become very popular, as it gives them additional charm.
However, not only magicians and yogis wear jewelry in this way. Foot rings are also loved by self-confident individuals who want to stand out from the gray crowd, and glamorous ladies, since this accessory has appeared on the world's catwalks more than once. One of the most famous fashion designers, Jean-Paul Gaultier, used this decoration in his collections. He came up with a false ring nail for the big toe.
This accessory did not go unnoticed by men. Representatives of the stronger sex admit that jewelry enhances the sexual energy of its owner, attracts attention to her, and, oddly enough, adds points to her on the attractiveness scale.
Psychologists also spoke about the owners of such an accessory as an ankle ring. They believe that girls who choose such jewelry for themselves are trying with all their might to stand out from the crowd. They often exalt themselves above the people around them.
What material should I choose for my toe ring?
Precious metals (gold and silver), of course, take first place. What is their main advantage? They do not oxidize and therefore can be left on throughout the entire season. Silver has another advantage: it can be bent and given any shape without any problems. It should be noted that in combination with tanned skin it will look very impressive. An accessory like this will be the highlight of your look. These jewelry are also made from other metals, such as bronze, brass and aluminum. Swarovski crystals have also found their way into ankle rings.
How to choose decoration material
The material from which the toe ring is made is of great importance. Silver and gold are in first place. The advantage of these metals is that they do not oxidize. This means you can wear them all summer without taking them off.
It’s a shame to lose a ring made of precious metals, so you can attach an ankle bracelet to it. This combination looks very interesting. Putting gold rings on your toes will make every girl feel like a princess. Such decorations look gorgeous. Tanned girls are best suited to rings made of silver. They go perfectly with dark skin and also add their own zest to the look.
In order not to be afraid of losing a ring made of precious metals, you can buy jewelry made of aluminum or bronze. Such accessories can be decorated with special stones. Ring manufacturers in the modern world allow you to buy a ring with any stone. Many girls choose stones that suit them according to their zodiac sign or character type.
Toe ring shape
The most popular and practical form of such decoration is torn. This will allow you to choose the size of the ring to suit your finger. In addition, there is another popular and charming shape of the accessory - serpentine. Rings of this shape wrap beautifully around your fingers and also allow you to choose the size.
An excellent option is a silicone-based accessory that stretches to size. Such rings, as a rule, are inexpensive, and large decoration with an elastic band attracts attention. An ordinary accessory can also be worn on the toe, but its shape cannot be adjusted to the required diameter. That is why it may not be suitable for everyone.
Toe ring: how to wear
The best option for this accessory is open shoes. In this case, nothing will bother you. The finger or the location of the ring does not matter, nor does the amount of jewelry.
Don't forget about the pedicure, because if you are going to put a ring on your foot, it must be perfect. The color scheme must be selected so that it matches the image as a whole.
An interesting fact is the following: wearing a toe ring has a positive effect on the mood and health of the owner. This accessory is useful for the senses (eyes and ears), as well as for the nervous system. Decorate your feet!
Varieties
All toe rings are divided into two types:
- adjustable;
- solid.
At first glance, it seems that it is easier to buy an adjustable or semi-open ring. It is easier to choose - you don’t need to select the size for a long time, and you can control the comfort of the fit yourself. Although the ring is made of hard metal, it is not difficult to bend with your fingers. In addition, semi-open models usually cost less.
The disadvantage of adjustable rings is that they break more quickly. The decoration often gets caught on carpet pile, socks, pebbles on the beach, and can sometimes pinch the skin. Solid rings seem stiffer and more uncomfortable when you first try them on, but if the size was chosen correctly, the discomfort goes away within a day.
Magnetic rings for weight loss
There is probably no woman in the world who would not like to have toned muscles and a slender figure without any significant expenditure of strength and energy. Yes, I must admit, men are not far behind them. This is why there will always be a demand for “magic” and “secret” ways to lose excess weight. The search for a magical remedy that would make a princess out of a frog continues. Slimming rings are contenders for this title.
They have been known in their country of origin for quite some time. Our compatriots also managed to try their effects on themselves. However, magnetic toe rings, reviews of which are very contradictory, have not yet gained such popularity as in Japan.
Magnetic rings were first proposed by the Japanese. And in our opinion, nothing surprising, because they love energy points, magnets and the like. We are not very strong in acupressure and magnetic massages, but we don’t mind losing a couple of extra pounds with their help. However, is this possible?
The magnetic ring for weight loss affects certain biologically active points. Depending on which finger this accessory is worn on, the effect may be different. That is, if you wear rings on different fingers, you will be able to control its action and adjust the places of your body that you need.
How to find out the size
There are 2 ways to find out your ring size. The easiest way is to go to a jewelry store and try on different models. You can also use the home method.
Take the thread and wrap it around your finger. In the place where the edges of the thread meet, make a mark and cut it off (the thread blank should fit freely on your finger). Then we measure a piece of thread with a centimeter.
The resulting number in mm is the finger size. To convert the finger size into the accepted size classification, divide the resulting amount by 3.14. For example, divide the length of a thread of 51 mm by 3.14 - it turns out 16.10. So size 16.
If you are buying a product made of gold or silver, you should double-check the size with a jeweler. If this is not possible, it is better to buy a detachable product (there is an error of 1-2 sizes).
A toe ring is an easy way to complete your look without spending a lot of money. Do you wear rings? If yes, which ones? Share your opinion in the comments and repost.
Wearing a magnetic ring
If you wear jewelry on your thumb, you will lose weight on your face, on your index finger, your arms, on your middle finger, your stomach, on your ring finger, your waist, and on your little finger, your hips.
In order to achieve maximum effect, it is recommended to wear several rings at once, which should fit tightly around the finger. In addition, it is recommended to supplement the program for losing excess weight with physical activity, as well as nutritional correction. Although, you must agree that this can give the desired result even without magnetic rings.
Properties of rings
Many people wonder what a toe ring means and whether it has any properties. Speaking about the properties of rings, we can recall the famous “mood rings,” which changed their color depending on the mood of their owner. Only in this case, many girls are convinced that the toe rings themselves have a positive effect on their mood and health.
Probably every woman (and many men) always wants to stay in shape and have a slim, toned figure. Many women believe in “magical” ways to quickly lose extra pounds. Recently, magnetic rings have been created that are not only ordinary accessories, but also have a positive effect on the body and even help you lose weight. This effect occurs because the magnetic field of the ring reduces appetite and improves metabolism.
These decorations were invented in Japan quite a long time ago. Although they are very popular in Japan, they are not so well known in our area. Manufacturers say the effects of magnetic rings depend on where they are worn. For example, a ring on your big toe will help slim your face. If you put it on your index finger, your arms will lose weight. If the jewelry is on the middle finger, excess weight will disappear from the stomach, on the ring finger the waist will lose weight, and if the ring is put on the little finger, the hips will noticeably shrink.
For maximum effect, experts recommend wearing several rings. Another important condition is that they must completely encircle the finger.
Magnetic rings are usually made of silicone or copper. A silicone ring will also help relieve its owner from calluses and corns.
