Do you people know about some rings people wear especially men..which has a stone as the filling. I don’t know exactly but it seems that those stones are sacred or something and they don’t come cheap. Does anyone know what I am talking about?..the thing is I would like to know is where do they come from?..I heard it good to wear them.

its just fashion, nothing to do with religion....
if someone thinks there is something Islamic in wearing rings of special stones/material he/she is wrong :)

Right on mate. Although I wear a ring made of ruby, I performed an istikhara 1st. There is nothin religious attached with it. These r mere stones, creation of ALLAH, who has hidden all these beauties in da mountains.
It is good 2 wear these stones, only if u dont believe that da good luck bestowed upon u is from da stones....Nusrat fateh ali khan wore a huge "feroza" ring, & ppl referred that it was this stone that brought him immense luck & prosperity. Hell, if it is da ring, y didnt it save him from death....? Stones have something 2 do with the magnetic rhythms of da human body. It corrects it & does magic, nothin much. U could win a million dollars 2day without a stone....its all in da faith mak.
I came across these sayings of the Prophet (saw), so I thought I would share it with you.
Islam prohibits Muslim men from wearing gold and pure (natural) silk. Many authentic Hadiths emphasize this rule.
The Prophet (s.a.w.) took silk in his right hand and gold in his left, and said: These two are Haram (prohibited) for the males among my followers (Ahmad, Abu Dawood, An-Nasa'i, and Ibn Majah). Ibn Majah reported the additional phrase: but Halal (allowed) for the females.
There was an instance in which the Prophet (s.a.w.) allowed one of his companions to wear silk, because the man had a skin problem (scabies). While Muslim men are not allowed to wear gold at all, they are encouraged to wear silver rings.
why is that?

That means if you want to wear a ring, do not use Gold ... but silver iis ok, it does not means that you have to wear, ok :)
since Gold is expensive metal, and it makes man proudy wering it, or those ppl who can't buy and wear gold stuff(only for man) they can get depressed, to avoid all this, Gold is haraam on man!

Very interesting observation indeed! Thank you for bringing it up. We have to ask somebody who has deeper knowledge of this.

So it shows that those who believe in ahadith, should NOT wear any jewellary made of Gold, however other metals are ok?
Having said that, nowadays, there are some metals which are more expensive than gold... so is it ok to wear rings made of Platinum or, do we follow the intent behind the ruling, which is that muslim men should not wear expensive jewellary, as it breeds a love for wordly things and takes them away from jehad?
