"Could not find any rule reference that prohibits this."

Unlike other areas of the rules, where if something isn't mentioned it's presumed to be legal, equipment has special treatment. Everything a player puts on falls into one of three categories - "Must Have", "May Have" and "Can't Have". As an official, you have to decide what the item is and which of the three catagories it fits into.

If you decide it's a wrist band, then it's in the "May Have" list and the player may wear it, but only on his wrist within 3 inches of the wrist as IAUMP mentioned.

If it's not a wrist band, what is it? - you have to make a choice. The most likely answer is that it is an adorment and therefore comes under the "Can't Have" category, and the player can not wear it at all. In either case, it can't be worn on the leg.
