RULE NO. 2 - OFFICIALS AND THEIR DUTIES 

SECTION II - DUTIES OF THE OFFICIALS
b. The officials shall not permit players to play with any type of jewelry.

Many players wear head/ear-phones with music during warm-up. Some even sport their favorite 24K carat gold chain while doing layups, but that doesn't mean the player will wear that in the game.

How many of us have been the fashion police prior to the game?

"Make sure you take off that earing!"
"The nose ring needs to come off."

Sometimes this may come as an irritant to both officials and players because we're not the fashion police. So it doesn't matter to me if you take that earing off or not. But you will not be allowed to enter the game with any jewelry.
