Jazāk Allāh Khayr/ Thank you for your question.
According to Islamic jurists, jewellery is only to be worn by women. Men are not to wear bracelets, anklets and chains.
Silver rings are permissible for men since the Prophet (peace and blessings upon him) had a sliver ring made for himself. (See: Rad al Mukhtār)
“Gold and silk have been made lawful for the women of my community and prohibited for men.” (Tirmidhī)
‘Alī (may God be pleased with him) said, “I saw the Messenger of God, (peace and blessings upon him), take some silk and put it in his right hand and take some gold and put it in his left hand, then say, ‘These two are unlawful for the men of my community.’” (Sunan Abī Dāwūd)
And Allāh Knows Best
