Sure we can. Rule 3.5.6: Jewelry shall not be worn.
It then goes on to discuss why medical tags are not jewelry. It also says in 3.5 that
The referee shall not permit any team member to wear equipment or apparel which, in his/her judgement is dangerous or confusing to other players or is not appropriate.
It says nothing about during the game or warm-up. I promise you that in warm-ups I make them take jewelry off, rubber bands off, any hard hair clips out, fix any braces that have a problem, etc. If they have an Ipod with them - that's leaving too. In my judgement - those items present a dangerous situation to team mates and the Ipod is innappriate.
