Every other bit of ‘jewelry’ styling is part of the costume.

It would either need to be a choker or short necklace with a tiny pendant. I don’t recall seeing a modern skater wear a bracelet, and rings on either gender are rare.

You want jewelry to break under pressure or stress… it protects the wearer from being choked or having a hand caught (imagine one skater’s bracelet caught her partner’s skate! ). with the forces involved in figure skating and the fact that anything that came loose and fell on the ice would be a hazard,I would say keep directing them too only wear it off the rink. I don’t watch skating often, but when I have, they are never wearing jewelry.
