Dreaming of jewellery in Islam: meaning

In classical Islamic interpretation a ring often stands for authority, a bond or a responsibility. Gold is read more cautiously for men, in line with the tradition that gold is not fitting for men.

Within this tradition

In the works attributed to Ibn Sirin the ring is an image with weight. A ring can stand for authority or a position, for a marriage, or for a child. A ring you receive is often read as something entrusted to you; a ring you lose, as the loss of a position or a bond. The material counts: silver is read more favourably than gold.

That is connected with the tradition that gold and silk are not fitting for men, while they are permitted for women. A man wearing gold jewellery in a dream is therefore read more cautiously in classical interpretation, sometimes as worry or a burden. For a woman, jewellery is seen rather as adornment in the literal sense: beauty, honour or a favourable change.

Pearls and gems have a place of their own in classical interpretation, often linked with knowledge or with the Quran, because its verses are strung together like pearls. A string of pearls can thus be read as knowledge you acquire.

As always in tabir, the dreamer counts. Someone occupied during the day with a marriage, a ring or an inheritance often dreams about it, and such a dream comes from what occupies the soul.

Frequently asked questions

What does a ring mean in Islamic dream interpretation?

Often authority, a marriage or a responsibility. Whether it is given or lost, and what material it is, decide the reading.

Why is gold read differently for men?

Because the tradition says gold and silk are not fitting for men. A man with gold jewellery in a dream is therefore read more cautiously.
