For a quarter of a century, Jennifer Aniston has kept a sparkling secret on her left foot, a piece of jewellery as enduring as her Hollywood career.
The beloved actress, famed for her role as Rachel Green, has been wearing the same thin 14kt gold toe ring for 25 years, a personal staple she first adopted during the early days of filming Friends in the early 2000s.
A Constant Companion
The 56-year-old star was recently spotted showcasing her cherished accessory at the Variety x Apple TV The Morning Show finale and reception in Los Angeles. Dressed in an elegant asymmetrical black gown and strappy heels, the ring was visible on the third toe of her left foot.
This sighting is far from a one-off. The Southern California native has been photographed with the ring consistently since the year 2000. It has been a fixture through every chapter of her life, from casual outings to red carpet events in couture, and even during her weddings to both Brad Pitt and Justin Theroux.
More Than Just an Accessory
The history of toe rings is rich and spans centuries. They originated in ancient cultures like Egypt and India, where they were potent symbols. In ancient Egypt, toe rings indicated wealth and were believed to enhance fertility. In India, they remain a significant symbol of a married woman's status, known as a 'bichiya'.
Their adoption in Western fashion began in the 1970s, popularised by the hippie movement, and have since become a widespread, though often temporary, trend. Aniston's unwavering commitment to her single piece, however, sets it apart from fleeting fashion.
A New Chapter with Jim Curtis
This glimpse of her enduring jewellery comes amid reports that Aniston is in a happy new relationship with wellness expert and hypnotherapist Jim Curtis, 50. A source close to the actress told PEOPLE that she 'acts like she feels very safe with him' and 'admires his work'.
Aniston herself has spoken highly of Curtis, telling ELLE magazine he is 'very special' and 'very normal', praising his dedication to helping people heal and find clarity. The pair were first linked publicly during a holiday in Mallorca, Spain, in July.
Whether it's a token from a beloved era, a personal talisman, or simply a favourite piece, Jennifer Aniston's toe ring is a rare constant in the ever-changing world of celebrity, a 25-year testament to a style that is uniquely her own.
