Answer

Wa’alaykum as Salam wa rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu,

The wearing of jewelry with the ʿAqīq stone is permissible for women.

In the case of men, only a silver ring with the ʿAqīq stone will be permissible provided that the silver ring itself does not exceed 4.374 g in weight.

Though the permissibility of wearing jewelry or a ring with the ʿAqīq stone has been established, the categorization of it being ‘a Sunnah practice’ has not been established.

And Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala knows best.
