A player is one of five team members who are legally on the court at any given time.

In 3-5-5 the team member has not yet become a player because he has not entered the court legally. So if the officials notice the ear rings prior to the ball becoming live then the sub is still a team member and it's not a player. The case where a PLAYER is discovered with jewelry he/she must be removed and must attempt the second free unless injured or ill and so on.

In 3-5-5-A(c) it says nothing about a player there is a difference.
By what rule are we clearing the lane for the 2nd shot?
Yup, same rule that let's you stop play on a missed FT to make a substitution for the player with the jewelry. And then have to go to an AP. Or, if it's bleeding player, you let them shoot their 2nd FT, and then blow your whistle whether it's made or missed, and ask the coach if he wants to put in a substitute for the bleeding FT shooter or use a TO to keep them in the game. Same logic.
