I kinda already said it, but I'll say it more centrally (Don't know if that was the right word or not).
I kinda want to see the female skaters not wear necklaces, non-stud, or non-pearl-like earrings.
I don't know, it's just as a cheerleader, we're not allowed to wear those cause of safety hazards so me seeing those kinda makes me cringe in a way that I'm like, "That doesn't look safe."
Rules against jewelry do exist actually. For some reason they just don't seem to care to enforce it. Personally I am on the same page as you, it does not really add anything other than increased risk. It really is not that hard to take off your damn jewelry prior to competing. Even studs can get ripped out, and can lead to little pieces of metal on the ice. Heck I have a family member that stop wearing his wedding ring on the job after seeing a co-worker get theirs shoved up under their skin to the knuckle (fireman trying to dive in to uniform for call too quickly).
I think part of why they don't enforce it is that some of the necklaces have a religious connotation, so many may just not want to risk offending people or turning it into more of a headache.
