Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh
1. According to Shariah, men are only permitted to wear silver rings with the condition that it does not weigh more than 4.374.[1] Any other material or metal other than a silver ring is prohibited for men. [2]
2. It is permissible for first cousins to marry each other on condition there is no foster relationship between them.
