Toe rings (bichhiyas) are steeped in tradition, but their designs have evolved beautifully. While antique designs feature intricate gods-and-goddesses motifs and heavy, temple-inspired work, modern interpretations are sleek and wearable.

Antique Appeal: These are often crafted in silver with detailed filigree (jali) work or embossed patterns. They connect us to heritage and are often worn in pairs.
Modern Minimalism: The new wave is all about simplicity. Think slim, solid gold bands, tiny solitaire stones, or minimal geometric shapes. They’re designed for daily wear and look elegant on their own.
In my opinion, the modern minimalist designs are fantastic for someone who wants to honor the tradition but prefers a contemporary aesthetic.
