Wearing Jewelry in Islam is perfectly acceptable, however there are certain limitations. For example, Men in Islam are forbidden from wearing Gold - since it was widely used as a symbol of pride, arrogance and wealth by men in history. Since showing off, and exhibiting arrogance of wealth is frowned upon, Muslim men cannot wear Gold Jewelry.

However, it is more acceptable for Muslim Women to indulge in their passion for Jewelry - as long as they too do not use it to display arrogance etc.

Even today, Muslims wear jewelry, like any other human biengs, since they too live on this planet and are not aliens. Muslim Men usually restrict themselves to rings (As a norm) and prefer a more demure, masculine look. Muslim Women wear more varieties of Jewelry such as earrings, rings, necklaces and bracelets depending on their respective culture, background and individual taste. However, more devout Muslim Women, keeping in line with Islamic injunctions of Modesty tend to avoid Jangling (sound-inducing) jewelry, only when in public - so as not to attract unwanted male attention.
