If the league has a WRITTEN rule that jewelry may be worn (and the league is not formally connected to the NFHS), then go with it because you're covered. But personally, I wouldn't work that league because it's dangerous.

Also...there's wording for religious dress exception in the nf & ncaa rules. IOW a yarmulka is OK, as I suppose a burka would be, or sandals for monks.
BTW, in a u17 (or u16?) boys game last weekend a kid came on the court with tape on his ear. We sent him off, both the player & the coach knew the rule & knew we were right, no fuss, no muss. If the director would have told us to let him play there would have been a game with no officials.
