What are these toerings, and who are they for?
These are oxidised 925 silver toe rings (bichiya) designed for women and girls, sold as a pair, with an embossed traditional pattern. They are made for everyday wear as well as for special occasions like weddings, anniversaries and festivals.
What does oxidised mean, and is it intentional?
Oxidised means the silver has been deliberately darkened to bring out the embossed pattern and give it a traditional, antique look. This is a finishing technique, not tarnish or damage, and it is meant to stay dark as part of the design.
Is the silver genuine, and why should I trust NJELS for this?
Yes - these are solid 925 sterling silver, hallmark stamped, not a plated alloy that flakes or fades. They are handcrafted by our own Kutch artisans, and as a registered silver brand, NJELS uses real silver throughout rather than cheaper imitations.
What is the difference between the available designs?
Each design features a different embossed pattern on the oxidised silver, so the choice comes down to which pattern you prefer visually. The silver quality, construction and sizing approach are the same across all the designs.
Are these adjustable, and will they fit me?
Yes - toe rings of this style are designed to be adjustable, so you can gently open or close them to get a comfortable, secure fit on your toe. If you are unsure, it helps to compare against a toe ring you already own.
Is it safe to wear every day?
Yes - solid sterling silver is naturally skin-friendly, and because there is no plating to wear off, it is comfortable and safe for daily wear.
How do I clean and care for them?
Wipe them with a soft, dry cloth after wear, and avoid prolonged exposure to water, soap and harsh chemicals. An occasional gentle polish with a silver cloth keeps the raised pattern looking sharp.
Will the oxidised finish wear off or change colour?
The oxidised black is meant to stay as part of the design and is fairly durable with normal wear, though very heavy daily friction can lighten it slightly over time, which is normal for an oxidised finish.
Can these be worn in water?
It is best to remove them before bathing, swimming or prolonged water exposure, as repeated soaking can dull the oxidised finish faster than normal wear.
Are these sold as a single ring or a pair?
They are sold as a pair, matching the traditional way toe rings are worn on both feet.
Is this a good gift?
Yes - toe rings are a traditional and meaningful gift for weddings, anniversaries, birthdays or festive occasions, and the antique embossed look makes them feel special rather than plain.
Will they look exactly like the photo?
As handcrafted pieces, there can be small natural variations in the embossed pattern or oxidised shading, but the overall design and silver quality will closely match what is shown.
