Ruling concerning wearing anklets  
Question: What is the ruling concerning wearing anklets in front of one's husband only? 

Response: There is no harm in wearing such in front of one's husband, women and mahram men. That is because it is a type of jewellery that a woman wears on her legs.

Source: Fatwa Online: Gold Jewelry: Ruling concerning circular shaped gold jewelry
Question: 
What is the ruling concerning circular shaped gold jewellery? 

Response: 
It is permissible for women to wear either circular shaped or  non-circular shaped gold jewellery. This is based on the general meaning of the verse, {[Do they then like for Allaah] a creature who is brought up in adornments [wearing silk and gold ornaments, i.e., women] and in dispute cannot make herself clear?}, [al-Zukhruf 18]. Allaah has mentioned that wearing jewellery is a characteristic of women. This is general and covers gold as well as other jewellery. Furthermore, Ahmad, Abu Daawood and an-Nasaa.ee record with a good chain from the Leader of the Faithful 'Alee ibn Abu Taalib that the Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) took silk in his right hand and gold in his left and then said, ((These two are forbidden for the males of my Nation.)), In the narration  by Ibn Maajah, it ends, ((And permissible for its women.)) Also, Ahmad, an-Nasaa.ee, at-Tirmidhee-- who said it is saheeh-- Abu Daawood, al-Haakim-- who also called it saheeh-- at-Tabaraanee and Ibn Hazm- who again said it is saheeh-- all record from Abu Moosaa al-Ash'aree that the Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) said, ((Gold and silk have been made permissible for the females of my Nation and forbidden for its males.))  Shaykh Ibn Baaz

CONCERNING MEN WEARING GOLD RINGS [Q]: What is the ruling concerning a man wearing a gold ring, or what is known as a wedding-ring? [A]: Shaykh Ibn Baaz – hafidhahullaah – answered: “It is not permissible for a man to wear gold rings. neither before or after marriage. This is due to the fact that Allaah’s Messenger sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam prohibited gold, as occurs in the authentic narrations. So once when the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam saw a man wearing a gold ring, he took it from him, threw it down and said: “Does a person pick up a burning piece of coal and hold it in his hand.” This was related by Muslim in his Saheeh (6/149). So in this is a proof that it is absolutely haraam (prohibited) for men to wear gold rings, even if it is a wedding ring.” Source
