It was known in Britain (unsurprisingly, given the British Empire), most noticeably because it was incorporated into the designs of pre-war Rudyard Kipling book covers, and he was an immensely popular writer at the time.

It got removed from them pretty swiftly when it became associated with the Nazis.

That said, I don't think OP's comparison is particularly justified. And it's still nowhere near as stupid as LotR fans using replica One Rings as wedding rings.

It was known in other countries as well because orientalism was a big thing during that time. But just because it was known doesn't mean it was "seen around much" or used a lot.
