As officials we are trained to look out for jewelry,from the moment we walk on the floor until we speak with the captains pryor to the game.Now after checking out everyone thoroughly we are ready to start the game.Then we say a few words to our partner(s) and we notice that our partner(s) have a nice shiny gold chain around there neck(s) Is this accepted now by supervisors of officials or do some officials think this is not a big deal?

Jewelry worn by referees, in my opinion, wouldn't pose such a threath as when worn by players (since a ref isn't exposed to the level of contact players can experience). Still I think a referee has a function as a role model and as such I find it not acceptable for him to be wearing jewelry. Therefore I think it's quite acceptable to point this out to your partner(s). This for me being theoretical, since I'm still to experience such a situation.
