Amber Stone Bichiya Toe Ring Set

The stone is held in a circle of raised beads rather than a plain bezel. That setting is traditional across Rajasthani and Kutchi silver, and on a toe ring it earns its place practically: the beads stand slightly proud of the stone, so the stone itself takes fewer knocks from floors and sandal straps than it would in a flush setting.

Design and detail

Amber and yellow are unusual on oxidised silver, where most stones are cool — turquoise, blue, clear — or dark enough to sink into the metal. A warm stone is both warmer and lighter than the blackened ground, so it lifts clear of it and reads as the brightest thing on the foot, which is what you want on a piece seen from a distance and from above.

Baby Pink, Sea Green, Green, Red and Black. Availability is confirmed before payment.

Type: Toe rings (bichiya), 2-piece set. Metal: Brass with German silver finish. Work: Round stone in a beaded collet. Size: approximately 1 inch. Available in 5 colourways. Fit: Adjustable, open band.

Wearing it

Wear as a pair on the second toes. A coloured bichiya sits best with a plain payal rather than a worked one.

Sizing and fit

No sizing required: the band is open at the back and flexes to fit. Set it gently the first time you wear it rather than adjusting it on every outing.

Colours and availability

A round stone sits in a ring of small beads across the toe, on an adjustable German silver band. Roughly 1 inch, supplied as a 2-piece set, in five colourways.

Materials and care

The metal is brass with a gold-tone finish over it, not gold, and nothing on this page describes it as gold.

The photographs on this page are of the piece itself under ordinary light rather than a studio set-up, so what you see is close to what arrives. Screens do shift colour, golds especially, so if an exact shade matters to you, ask on the enquiry and we will describe it against something familiar.

These arrive in small runs. When a colour sells through it is usually gone rather than reordered, because the supplier moves on to the next design. That is why availability is confirmed by hand before an order is taken rather than promised by a stock counter.

If you are building a set, the pieces in this collection share a finish and a gold tone, so a necklace and a pair of earrings bought separately will match on the body. That is not something you can rely on across different brands, where one plating can be visibly cooler than another.

Store it flat and sealed, away from the bathroom. Moisture is the one thing that shortens a plated finish more than wear does. Keyura is prepaid only — there is no cash on delivery on any order.
