Q: What toe should I wear my ring
on? Which is most comfortable?
A: Most people wear their toe ring on the second toe
(next to the big toe), in the center, just below or at the first
joint. The wide toe pad keeps the toe ring on, but you must use
some pressure and moisture to slide the ring over the pad (we
like Windex the best), so that it slips nicely in place. Need

Q: Will a sterling silver toe ring
change color on me?
A: If you swim in pools with high chlorine levels, you
may want to remove your toe ring every time you swim. Also, some
people with high acidic levels in their body chemistry may experience
a color change in the skin area under the ring that looks slightly
gray. You can coat the ring with clear nail polish or go with
14k gold.
Q: Sometimes I get a black ring on
my skin under my rings. This has happened with both sterling and
14K gold. Am I allergic to metal? What can I do to prevent this?
A: Customers may think that faulty manufacturing might
be the problem when a ring "turns," blackening or discoloring
the skin and clothing, or the jewelry itself. However, that is
not the case. The most common reason is metallic abrasion caused
by makeup on skin or clothing. Lotions and cremes can also cause
metals to react on skin. Cosmetics often contain compounds harder
than the jewelry itself, which wear or rub off very tiny particles.
Very finely divided metal always appears black rather than metallic,
so it looks like a jet-black dust. When this dust comes into contact
with absorbent surfaces such as skin or clothing, it sticks, forming
a black smudge. To prevent this, try switching cosmetics. If this
is not possible, remove rings and other jewelry while applying
them, and clean skin areas in contact with jewelry with soap and
water.
Another cause is actual corrosion of the metals. Silver does
not corrode, but its primary alloys will do so, forming very dark
chemical compounds under moist or wet conditions. When you perspire,
fats and fatty acids released can cause corrosion of silver jewelry,
especially when exposed to warmth and air. This problem can be
worse in seacoast and semitropical areas, where chlorides combine
with perspiration to form a corrosive element that discolors skin.
Smog fumes gradually attack jewelry and are evident as a tarnish
that rubs off on the skin.
Remove jewelry often and use an absorbent powder, free of abrasives,
on skin that comes into contact with jewelry. Clean the rings
with a polishing cloth frequently (you can get one from your local
jeweler). As well as solving the problem, you’ll be amazed
at how much better the rings look!
Q: How do I get a fitted toe ring
on my toe?
A: A fitted toe ring might be a bit difficult to get over
the tip of the toe, but when on, should rest comfortably at the
center knuckle. We recommend using window cleaner or a non-oily
evaporative wetting solution sprayed on your toe before trying
to slide it on. This helps add some lubrication that will dry
fast while not adding lotion or oils that might cause it to slip
off.
Start by sliding the ring over the widest part of the toe in
a rocking back and forth motion, pressing the ring from side to
side. With a little pressure it should slide on. Usually a toe
ring is much easier to pull OFF than it is to slide on. The ring
should not move around too much and should not come off too easily.
It should not be too loose or too tight. It should feel comfortable,
even in a tightly-laced tennis shoe. When you have a good fit,
you know it.
Q: What if my toe ring doesn't feel
right?
A: Try it for a day or two and you should know if the
fit is right. We guarantee your toe ring for workmanship and fit
for up to 30 days, so if you need to return it for a refund or

Q: I have toes that are straight up
and down. Will a toe ring work for me?
A: You should have at least a 1 mm difference in size
between the toe pad and the toe center for a ring to stay put.
If there is no difference in size between the pad and toe knuckle,
consider ordering your ring 1 mm smaller so it will fit snug and
not slip off as easily.

Q: Do men wear toe rings?
A: Cruise any beach and you are sure to see lots of guys
sporting the toe ring trend. Of course, we think this trend is
here to stay! See our guy's
page for more info.
Q: Do kids wear toe rings?
A: Yes, but growing kids will want to check their toe
rings periodically to make sure that their feet are not growing
so fast that the toe ring becomes a permanent bodily fixture.
Give the ring a couple of turns and make sure that it still moves
around freely. Tight rings should be removed with Windex or oil
and saved for the next generation of cool kids.

Q: Why don't you carry adjustable
toe rings?
A: Have you ever worn one? They pinch, bunch up, move
around, catch on the carpet, fall off, break, and basically are
no good. Try a sized toe ring and you will never go back. Promise.
