If an umpire suspects that a player is covering up jewelry (e.g., placing tape over earrings), the following procedure must be followed:
• In the presence of the head coach, ask the player if she covered up jewelry. • If the player states that she does have jewelry on, she must remove it before she is eligible to play. • If the player states that she does not have jewelry on, accept her statement as truthful. • If you later discovered during the game that the player was wearing jewelry, the player and head coach will be subject to penalties for unsportsmanlike conduct. • Knowingly violating a safety rule and deliberately attempting to cover it up is unsportsmanlike. It poses a risk to both that player and others.

I know you can't impose penalties in NFHS at that point. I'm just saying that your partner, the plate umpire (who would rather laugh than manage this game) and you could have done more to be "preventative". And it starts with talking to the coach and not the player. Or at the very LEAST, talk to the player in the presence of the head coach. Just MHO.
