I apologize in advance for an off-the-wall question, but how exactly does one define "jewelry" for the purpose of this rule? I don't find wristbands offensive, but I don't like to see those little rope bracelets. My own rule of thumb (which admittedly, I made up in the absence of supporting documentation) has been to make anyone remove anything that could conceivably cause injury in the course of a play. (For example, a fielder's hand gets caught under the necklace of a sliding runner.)
I bring up this topic mostly because I would have to have a reasonable definition to offer the local rats who create diversions and pick nits over stupid things like this. Generally, I tell them that if their wives wouldn't accept it as a Valentine's Day gift, it ain't jewelry. I'm curious to hear your thoughts.
