December 11, 2010 (Sampurn Wire): Young girls (and boys) in India are very keen about the latest fashion trends doing the rounds on the Indian ramp. And they always strive to don the apparel and accessories that models flaunt on the catwalk. All those who follow the latest trends in fashion will be aware of the fact that toe rings or bichchiyas as they are colloquially known as in the country is the accessory to sport if you want to be at your fashionable best. Reports claim that young girls around the country are stocking up on various designs of toe rings this season.

Though the traditional design which only Indian brides were made to wear was a silver metal ring, young girls from different cities of India are opting for plastic toe rings as well. And if you are prepared to shell out more cash, you may also opt for gold and diamond studded bichchiyas. Toe rings, says the modern girl, look good with both Indian and western outfits, a prime reason for its growing popularity. And what is more it is not a very big pinch on your pockets. Available for as less as a 100 bucks, trendy toe rings can be bought from your nearest street market, the hawkers selling a variety of designs and an equally large number of colors.

Toe rings look best if teamed with an open sandal or a flip flop, say students in Delhi, the most fashion conscious city of India. And if reports are to be believed, bichchiyas are not only popular among the young Indians, but also the foreigner tourist, who love to collect these toe rings as a symbol of the ethnic Indianjewelery.
