Salaam,
There is this new craze of fancy rings and non silver rings for men, all under the disguise of "Islamic Ring"
In these Islamic shops, we are able to buy replica rings with the stamp of the Prophet, even though there are Hadith that state otherwise.
WHY ARE WE ALLOWING THIS TO HAPPEN, WHY ARE ISLAMIC SHOPS SELLING THEM?
InshaAllah, we shall provide evidence to back our findings.

From Seifeddine's thread
Chapter 10: It Is Permissible To Engrave Any Name On The Stone (Gem) Of The Ring
Imaam Bukhaari رحمه الله reports on the authority of Sayyiduna Anas رضي الله عنه that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم had a silver ring made, and he engraved 'Muhammad Rasool Allaah' on it. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "I have made a silver ring and I have engraved on it 'Muhammad Rasool Allaah.' No one should engrave on their rings as I have engraved." [84]
Haafidh Ibn Hajar رحمه الله says, "Abul-Fath al-Ya'muri claims the ring was made in the 7th yearh A.H and others claim it was made in the 6th year A.H." It is possible that these two opinions are combined, by saying that it was made sometime at the end of the 6th year and the beginning of the 7th year. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم sent letters during the truce period, which was in Dhul-Qa'dah of the 6th year, then he returned to Madeenah in Dhul-Hijjah and sent some messengers in the month of al-Muharram. The ring was made before the messengers were sent to the neighbouring non-Muslim countries.
He further says, "The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم forbade them from engraving an inscription like his because the purpose of his ring was to be used as a stamp. This was a special mark through which his ring could be distinguished from others. Now if it was permissible for others to have the same inscription the initial purpose will no longer remain." [85]
'Allaamah Teebi رحمه الله writes, "The ring was made to stamp letters and documents, which were sent out to the neighbouring non-Muslim countries. So therefore if anyone was to have the same inscription it will cause disorder and confusion." [86]
Imaam al-Qurtubi رحمه الله writes, commenting on, "The inscription on the ring was Muhammad Rasool Allaah," "This is evidence proving that it is permissible for a person to engrave their own name on their ring. Excluding the name Muhammad even if it is the person's own name. This is not permissible because we have been prohibited from this in the Hadeeth. Also, the Hadeeth is evidence proving that it is permissible to engrave the name of Allah, words of wisdom or even verses of the Holy Qur'aan." [87]
Muhaddith 'Ali al-Qaari رحمه الله writes, "Some scholars are of the opinion that it is Makrooh to engrave the name of Allaah on one's ring." Haafidh Ibn Hajar رحمه الله says, "This opinion holds no weight. I quote, 'When a person's name is 'Abdullaah, then without doubt this is not Makrooh.'" [88]
Muhaddith Rasheed Ahmad Gangohi رحمه الله says, "The prohibition of engraving the name Muhammad on one's ring no longer remains, because it won't cause any confusion or dispute." [89]
Notes:
This cannot be undone and I am sure it will be greatly appreciated.
