Based on clips I've seen, FIBA appears to allow adult women to wear jewelry at its highest levels (Women's Eurobasket) because I've seen clips showing players having all sorts of tape covering jewelry on their ears and noses.
My best observer's guess is jewelry being allowed at the higher levels because all the participants are adults and presumed to know best how to mitigate any risk with whatever jewelry of choice they don't remove prior to events.
If there's not a rule change per se, perhaps the new CBA passed prior to the 2026 season now allows WNBA players that same luxury.
