Metal FAQ
Q: What is the difference between 14k and 18k gold?
A: The difference is the
amount of gold in the piece. A 14k gold toe ring is 58.3% gold,while an 18k gold toe ring is 75.0% gold. The difference is
reflected in the color as well. Women love 18k gold because
of the richer gold color. We recommend 18k with our LUP Loded line
as it really makes precious stones pop.
Q: How wide is the LUP line of toe rings?
A: The LUP Lite line is approximately 2mm wide – perfect for stacking. The LUP Loded is slightly wider. Q: What does the blast finish look like?
A: Our “blast” finish is achieved by giving the LUP a light sandblasting. The look is a light matte affect that is truly stunning.

platinum and
white gold?
There are many differences, but the most significant ones are color and strength. Platinum is much harder
and stronger than 14K white gold. If you think you will wear your
toe ring for many years to come, platinum is the ultimate. If you are
new to the toe ring arena, you might want to start off with the 14K
white gold.
Q: Are footcandy.com toe rings solid gold or gold plated? Are
they cuffs or full bands?
A: All footcandy.com precious metal toe rings are solid gold or
platinum. They are not cuffs but full bands. Each LUP is stamped
inside with the karat marking and the LUP logo.
Toe Ring FAQ
Q: What if I want to give the LUP as a gift and don't
know what size to get?
A: If you want to give the LUP as a gift, choose the
LUP you want to give and email your request to us. We will ask you a
couple questions and send you the most common size for that category. If
the LUP is too large or small, we will be happy to exchange it for you.
Q: Should I wear my LUP in the center of my toe or at
the toe base?
A: This is a very personal question and depends on
your toe shape and personal taste. The center is ideal is your toe
joints are slightly larger in the middle. If the toe starts off larger
at the tip and gets increasingly narrower on the way down then the base
will be where the LUP will naturally rest at the toe base.
Q: What toe should I wear my LUP on?
A: The most comfortable toe to wear a
LUP on is your index toe. This is because there is extra space between the big toe and the index toe, giving the LUP a little more room to adjust. However, people who wear
toe rings are as individual as the toes they wear them on so be
yourself. We have clients who wear one ring on the pinkie toe and
clients who will wear 5 and 6 rings scattered among various toes.
Q: Is it comfortable to wear the LUP all the time?
A: We want you to wear your LUP all the time! Day,
evening, playing basketball, in stilettos, in the shower, skiing, well,
you get the idea. If you find your LUP is not comfortable, please
contact us to exchange it for the perfect size.
Q: What is the difference between the LUP LITE and
LUP LODED?
A: Our simple line of perfect bands is the LUP LITE.
A beautiful, delicate band of gold or platinum in your choice of shine or blast finish. Our LODED line
consists of the same simple band with the addition of 6 inlaid full cut
diamonds, rubies or sapphires.
Q: Will my LUP tarnish over time?
A: Your LUP will never tarnish. Polish it up once a
month or so to keep up the finish.
Q: Will my LUP fit on my pinkie?
A: Chances are high - about 80% of you can
wear your LUP as a pinkie ring. We have even sold them as wedding rings!
Q: How many rings can a one wear comfortably?
A: I can wear four rings comfortably, but I have one
client who wears six for special occasions. It all comes down to the toe
shape. Long toes can hold more rings – you get the idea. Remember to be careful when going through an airport metal
detector.

white gold?
