I once had a partner with one of those big cubic zirconias in his ear. Lucky for him the assignor showed up half way through the game for a quick peek at the officiating. At half time, the official was instructed to remove the earring by the assignor and I don't think I've seen him ref again with it in.
BTW we are allowed to wear gold chains, but they are to be kept underneath our shirts. I personally don't wear anything like that off the court, so I'm not worried about having to take it off when I officiate.
