bpowlen,
Jewelry is not allowed, period! It cannot be made legal by taping over it no matter whether it is cloth or metal.

The proper response to this is to tell the player to leave the court since she cannot be on the court while wearing jewelry. If she refuses or fails to do so, it will be a card on that player.
The thing that can be done in the instance where a player shows up wearing tape covering where there is a possibility of jewelry is to request to see what is under the tape. If the player refuses, then the proper response is, "Thank you, then you are not going to be allowed on the court tonight. Please leave the court immediately."
