The questioner : The questioner asks here: what is the meaning of the word "encircling" or "ringed" regarding gold?

The Shaykh : Ringed gold is that which encircles a limb. Its examples are explicitly stated in the authentic hadith:

Whoever loves to encircle his beloved with a collar of fire, let him encircle him with a collar of gold. And whoever loves to encircle his beloved with a bracelet of fire, let him encircle him with a bracelet of gold. And whoever loves to encircle his beloved with a ring of fire, let him encircle him with a ring of gold.

من أحب أن يطوق حبيبه بطوق من نار فليطوقه بطوق من ذهب و من أحب أن يسور حبيبه بسوار من نار فليسوره بسوار من ذهب و من أحب أن يحلق حبيبه بحلقة من نار فليحلقه بحلقة من ذهب

This is ringed gold. The opposite is cut gold, which does not encircle the neck, such as the azar, the rose-shaped brooch, and similar items that some women wear. The questioner can find the details of this summary in my book, *Adab al-Zafaf fi al-Sunnah al-Mutaharah* (The Etiquette of Marriage in the Pure Sunnah).
