It couldn't get caught, it couldn't punture, it couldn't scrape, etc. I think that it might be a very clever way to acomplish the preservation of a new piercing without violating the jewelry rule.

There's been an interp, but it might just be in IL, that this "string" is considered jewelry for the purposes of this rule.
