A lot of women in India wear a toe ring. It does look nice so I asked one of the women in the team where I can find one. Now that I live in a warm country and my feet are out there most of the time, why not put some jewelry on it.
I was quickly explained that those toe rings are actually wedding toe rings. They are not there for decoration, they are the symbol of being married. The same way in Western world we wear a wedding ring on our hand, they wear in on the foot.
Good that I am married so that was only half a faux pas but it was not my best moment of the day.
I wanted to share this should you go one day to India, you can avoid being embarrassed by asking where to buy a toe ring which should come from your husband.
