Why yes why not?
No. Signet rings have been worn almost exclusively by men for a while.
Is this deja vu?
Depends why you are wearing it. I have heard that there are those who allow a man to wear a wedding band since it signals to others(especially non-jews) that you are married and should not be approached.
In Shabbos 62 it seems that he may.
Yet we see that it was the men who gave over their gold jewelry for the egel.
A plain band is a considerable issue in an area without an eiruv.
Important to define difference between tachshitin and malbushim before paskenning.“Rings” have always been worn by men.
The picture is of a wedding/engagement ring. Among Christians, women give men a ring as part of their sacrament of marriage, so for a Jewish man to wear such a ring would be a question of “avodah zarah.” The response is most goyim no longer see marriage as having anything to do with religion, but it would still arguably be the “dust” of “avodah zarah.” When asking a shailoh, make sure the person answering is aware of the religions significance of marriage rings among the Christians.
