Question
as i written before about wearing gem stone rings so it is doubtful about wearing a stone ring or not, nowadays i have been wearing a carnelian ring so it can be of no issue if i keep it wearing or turn it into silver.
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad 
is His slave and Messenger.
Some scholars 
are of the view that it is disliked for a man to wear gem stones; their evidence is that wearing them could be an act of extravagance and imitating women’s fashion. So, wearing them is a doubtful matter and it is better to avoid it.
As regards wearing carnelian, then most scholars are of the view that it is permissible, and there is even a narration in the Hanbali school of jurisprudence that it is desirable to wear it, and they have another narration that it is just permissible like the view of the majority of the scholars .
Therefore, it is permissible for you to continue wearing the carnelian ring, but if you leave it and wear a silver ring, then this is better, as by doing so, you would act according to the Sunnah because Anas 
narrated that the Prophet had a ring made of silver.
Allaah Knows best.
