There was a tradition followed in India like married Indian women wear toe rings. It is worn as a symbol of the married state by Hindu/Muslim women.
Toe ring is called Bichiya (pronounced: bee-chee-ya) in Hindi, Mettelu in Telugu, Metti in Tamil & Kalungura in Kannada. Both Hindu's and Muslim Women wear these Toe rings, as a symbol of married state.
As per the tradition, married women are expected to wear silver made toe-rings on the second toe of both feet. Hence there is a custom in hindu wedding ceremony to wear toe rings.
They are usually made of silver and worn in pairs on the second Toe of both feet.
Why they use only Silver and Why not Gold:
'Bichiyas'/'Toe rings' may not be made of gold, as gold holds a 'respected status and may not be worn below the waist. Indians especially Hindus believe that gold is the metal of the Gold lakshmi Devi, The Goddess of Wealth, and tehrefore they considers it inappropriate to wear gold below the waist.
The Science behind wearing toe rings
Acupressure is used in India science ancient time for good health. Medial plantar nerve is the one that runs through toes in the human body. Medial planter communicates with the great and second toes. It connects to uterus and then heart. Continuous pressure of the ring regulates the blood flow to the uterus and hence strengthens the uterus.
