FALSE - My partner & I disagree over this statement. He feels he can't penalize if the person with jewelry doesn't become a player. I maintain that the person wearing jewelry is a "team member" and as such...3.5.1 refers to "team members" shall not wear equipment/apparel that is not appropriate, and 3.5.7 refers to jewelry not permitted....I'm assuming....among "team members". A'm I reading too much into this? Or, heaven forbid, my partner is correct when he says the statement is True because the "team member" hasn't violated anything until they become a player.

Thanks in advance of your responses!

You can't penalize anyway, There is no penalty. Sure, players can wear jewelry on the bench. They can't wear it during warm-ups, though, if they're out on the floor, and they certainly can't come into the game with it. But there's no penalty, remember that.
