Silver rings and pendants for Muslim men

In Islam calligraphy is often used to decorate things, from buildings to jewelry. The reason for this is that the worship of images, as prohibited in the Bible as well as the Quran, is taken by many so literally that any religious image is suspect.

So, in order to still be able to decorate things, letters are turned into calligraphy. This art form is of course not limited to Islam, but I do think Muslims have perfected the art beyond any other people.

In Jewelry this shows up mostly in two ways: the name of God 'Allah' (which literally means God in Arabic) as well as famous Muslim phrases like Bismillah and Lailaha Illallah Shada Islam are used.

Silver jewelry for Islamic men

Traditionally Muslim men are only supposed to wear silver jewelry - preferably rings. Gold was reserved for women. The reason a silver ring was allowed was that a man needed a signet ring. Although the use of a signet ring for sealing things off with wax is no longer common, Muslim men can still get away with wearing one. After all, so did Muhammad. 

Another famous Muslim symbol is the symbol of star and crescent of course. It too ends up on Jewelry. I've found it available on silver rings as well as pendants.
