Neither will I, I think we only disagree on how far we'll take the effort to spot the jewelry. Not significantly, I don't think.
As Rut noted, the odds of actual jewelry staying hidden are pretty slim (this particular kid had the backs of the ears covered as well, so a simple "nothing" wouldn't have worked well), and I know what the back of an earring looks like.
