Note that medical alert medallions and religious medals are not jewelry and have separate rules.
Loops are allowed in NCAA, provided they are tight, which by itself is a lose (pun intended) definition, so the clarification was it should touch skin all around. “Bars”? Isn’t that what “studs” and “posts” are?
Then in the last bulletin Ryan MacDowell asked that we take it easy and only interfere if something is in our face.

How do you go about enforcing the “should be removed” part on suspected taped over jewelry?

"Just a reminder, if you're taping over something illegal, that's not allowed." Then leave it at that, and if you see it later, we're pulling out a card. And not a delay.

So we will actually let them play with the taped over jewelry.

That’s my point - to enforce the rule, one has to actually see the jewelry underneath it. Which can only happen if the player happens to take off the tape in front of the ref (and the ref notices).
Rules without ways of enforcement are useless imo.

Not if we know about it. We can't merely just punish for the suspicion. It is what it is sometimes.

In NCAAW Basketball, we are supposed to have them take the tape off (the only tape that's allowed is to tape back the earlobe when someone has a large empty hole where a gauge earring would normally be worn).

In VB -- I just ask what is being worn under the tape. Yes, someone could lie. So far, they've just taken the tape off and removed the jewelry.

Bars (Illegal): https://www.amazon.com/Industrial-Ea.../dp/B0CHRB3M6D

Cuffs (what you refer to as loos, I think) (Top 2 LEGAL; bottom ILLEGAL because of the chain): https://www.google.com/imgres?q=cuff...00&hcb=2&itg=1
