You won't find a rule about wearing a watch, either. Have you ever been told by a UIC or clinician not to wear one?
And, since it is a matter of appearance, yes, there is a difference between female and male professional appearance in our society.

That was precisely my point...
Every area has their own standards as to what is acceptable and what is not when it comes to jewelry on an umpire. One person's view of what is "acceptable" may not be another's. That's why it will never be mentioned in the rulebook.
