A man wearing a ring of silver or iron

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this common question asks: What is the ruling on a man wearing a ring if it is made of silver or iron? Because some of the committed ones say that they are hesitant about it?

Answer:
Wearing silver is permissible for a man; the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) wore it. It is permissible for a man to wear a silver ring. What is prohibited is a ring of gold; that is what is forbidden. An iron ring is disliked. An iron ring is disliked because it is the adornment of the people of the Fire. However, it is not forbidden, as indicated by the fact that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to the man who wanted to marry a woman
Look (for something), even if it is only an iron ringالتمس ولو خاتما من حديد
Sunan an-Nasa'i 3359Sahih (Darussalam)
This indicates its permissibility despite the dislike.
