Toe-Rings

[wallace]

Ever thought about really splurging - and wearing diamonds on your toes?! For years I had been looking for nice toe-rings, gold or platinum to no avail. Like the founder of LUP toe rings said, jewelers laughed at me, too (except Lee Amrani). Then, a few weeks ago, I accidentally came across this website:

www.footcandy.com - excellent customer service, shipping, payment!

Often, toe rings can be worn on the pinky finger, too (winterizing)! They have some lovely dimaond toe rings at reasonable prices - although PSers won't find details of the stones used

- I'm sure that could be provided on request. I did a little research and comparable rings ordered for the finger in smaller sizes (like 2,3,4) were still priced higher than the diamond toe rings on this site. You can even order them in larger sizes and wear them as affordable accent jewlery on other fingers.

As soon as I get off my lazy bum and get batteries for my camera, I will post some picutures of my new toe-rings - they look great!

OH MY GOD!

Those are the cutest!
I love toe rings. Diamonds on my toes too!
I just emailed my fiance and told him to keep that site bookmarked for future gift purchases.

Diamonds on my fingers, ears, around my neck - and now my toes! I love it!

These toe rings ARE cute! lol I've been thinking of trying a cz toe ring and if I like it, maybe I'll upgrade to one of these diamond ones!

Haha diamond toe rings are already on my list.




I have worn CZ ones for years..and now I have plain silver ones on (one on each foot, 2nd toe). I definitely want to get real diamond ones...those ones you posted are nice, wallace! Though I do have to say they are hugely pricey.




At SignedPieces they have similar carat weight eternity rings (.30c or so) for around $400-600 each in white gold. I don't know if they have the tiny toe style (would be like an average size 3 maybe) but they have alot of molds and do custom jobs for very affordable pricing. Their melee is pretty nice in terms of color and clarity, F VS for most I think.




Here is a sample of what they have for $600..note 'available in other sizes', ctw on this is about .63ctw

I have been wanting to get a diamond eternity thumb ring from them for a while, waiting for one in my size to pop up.

This one is one of my favorites right now but my thumb requires a size 8..wah! But the price is SO GOOD!

Anyway, SP is just another option for someone thinking about it but not wanting to pay $1000 per ring which is absolutely ridiculous for what it is. I've got it on my list for the future..maybe in 2005. Got other diamonds to buy in the meantime.

Pictures!

We went up to Portland this past weekend, and my step-mom had a present for me - a beautiful blue Swarovski crystal toe ring - it's going to be my "something blue". I was totally jazzed because I love toe-rings and wanted something slightly different than the blue garter or underwear everyone keeps telling me to wear.

Mara, you do realize that Signed Pieces can custom make you a ring in a size 8, right? These are their Facets collection, which they MAKE, and the rest of the designer stuff is consignment.

The cute little 1.20ct ring was priced as on the net in person, because my friend picked it up and asked, when we were there...They said they could make it in her size for the same price...

Maybe you should call them and see if they can make that ring in an 8...

Uh oh...what have I done?!

 

[Mara]

HAHA NIC SHHHH. I was trying to tell myself that was NOT TRUE.




Thing is...I really like the Arfan one but I don't think that's a Facets ring then. But its in their 'Facets' collection. Kind of funky. I like the very thin, small stone look and of course the price.

We'll see! My tax return will be burning a hole in my bank account within a week!

Ah, I shouldn't have looked at the Signed Pieces web site! Too many cute things that I can't order right now

It's nice, though, that you can see what they have up for as reserve auction and get an idea of what they want for their Tiffany pieces. The ring I'm drooling over is a mere 15K! lol

I love SP's Tiff stuff. The only semi-affordable way to buy Tiffany is second-hand! Too bad they don't have cufflinks on SP.

I'm about to fork out $500 for a set for Greg of the Elsa Peretti Bean links and shirt studs. But they are very cool.

SP Facets collection also has a really cute bubble sapphire ring that looks similar to the Tiff piece for something like $600. Tempting...

Hey Mara - Thanks for turning me onto more (dangerous!) sites

.

While I was very picky with my e-ring as far as stone quality (soon to be posted) I decided not to get too picky with my toe ting. I tis on my toe, after all. But that's just me - and I wanted something fun quickly. Maybe one day... yeah! I really wanted platinum - but just couldn't justify it. Especially since they are so tiny and can't really be worn otherwise unless its for your second toe. Then you can usually wear it for on your pinky finger, too.

I definitely didn't spend 1,ooo! I spent three hundred twenty dollars (incl. shipping) and got three toe rings - all 18k white gold - they were having a special on 18k gold (Y or W) 30%off.
I got two LUP lite originals and one pave ring. So, the pave ring (w/o discount $28 is probably not the sweetest grade stones ( I hear the cringing)- but it's pave (I think it's easier to get away with)! And it's just fun without being totally cheap.

BTW - they also customize (takes just a few days) and could do a thumb ring... I was thinking that, too!

 

[kpebbles]

wallace, i checked out this site and their toe rings are so cute!

So you actually have the pave toe ring? That's the one I'm thinking of getting- how do you like it quality wise? Do you have any pics? Do they still have the 30% discount?

Sorry for all the questions, but I'm anxious to hear your responses.

 

[Mara]

okay LINK to the pave toe ring?!

 

[Nicrez]

Ladies, Ladies....I went to Facets in person. The very nice guy told me anything you see on that site that is Facets can always be created in ANY size and carat weight, as they have a specific jeweler they use to make the facets collection.

IE toe ring by arfan, can easily be made by the Facets designer. You know, come to think of it, I should tell them to start a Facets TOE RING collection...Yummmy!

Yeah, I have only rhinestone toe rings, and I ALWAYS lose one or two...

I guess I am hard core, but nothing says pretty like a fabulous pair of 3.5" strappy leather heels and sparkles on the toes!!!

hey mara! for some reason I can't link to the ring itself, but i think it's the one on the third row-last one.

i used to wear toe rings, still do occasionally, but my boyfriend thought they were kinda tacky! He was laughing at me when i told him about these..

I still want one though!

 

[Mara]

Toe rings are not tacky! I LOVE seeing little sparkles on feet. I mean if you are going to fork over the $$ for the monthly pedicure, you gotta draw some attention to those footsies.

 

[kpebbles]

whoa..did they just raise their prices? it's now $368..

hmm..maybe i was looking at a different one..

 

[wallace]

Ok, Everybody - pictures!!! I had been tyring to wait til I had pics before I posted but I got too excited. I wan tto see if these look ok before posting on Show-Me-The-Ring b/c I took them with my webcam! (Superlazy)!

 

[wallace]

Wow - this got busy while I was posting!
Here they are on my R pinky finger -

 

[wallace]

KPebbles -

Yes - I have the pave toe ring! (yes, third row down last column)

The quality is fantastic. I am very pleased - sturdy, solid but dainty and very very cute!

I just read your post on the price and I am amazed! I am looking at my receipt right now and it says $288.00!

Either there's an error or the price went up since I ordered it on 28 march 2004. E-mail them b/c Amy is very good at responding to e-mail right away (within one day).

They have different discount offers periodically - I noticed the current offer is $30.00 off for orders over $150.00.

TACKY!!! Nothing pretty is ever tacky. Cute can be kitsch - but it's really about style. If you can carry it - it will look good. THere's a lot of different toe rings out there so the variety appeals to all types. I think becuase these look like classic jewlery they could never look tacky. Show BF the site! And then order one any way!
