The answer

It is not permissible to engrave metals and stones with Quranic verses and the name of Allah, due to the fear of their desecration. Furthermore, the concept of horoscopes is a pre-Islamic notion and is impermissible. It is also not permissible to engrave jewelry with images of living beings, nor to sell or buy them, whether the images are full figures or just heads, unless they are in a state of desecration, like cushions that are leaned upon. Similarly, it is not permissible to create jewelry bearing symbols of disbelief, such as the cross and the Star of Israel. Additionally, it is not permissible to sell gold rings specifically intended for men.
