Who started the fashion trend of wearing jewelry on your feet? Let’s find out…
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 due to the fact that her designs could not be patented, she moved on to other ventures but retains the title of “Toe Ring Lady” to this day.
Barefoot anklets and toe rings historically have been worn for centuries by girls and women in India. They have also been worn by Egyptian women since predynastic times. In the United States both casual and more formal anklets became fashionable in the late twentieth century. While in western popular culture both younger men and women may wear casual leather anklets, they are popular among barefoot women. Formal anklets (of silver, gold, or beads) are used by some women as fashion jewelery. [Source: Wiki toe rings and anklets]
