My understanding of the minimal jewellery requirements for staff at airports has been from a Occupational Health and Safety stand point.
From that stand point I will argue for the Sihk Turban as it keeps the his long hair up and out of the way, and it looks alot less dorkier than a man with a pony tail. The open faced hijab can also be worn in such a way that there are no loose ends. There are many industries that would welcome these cultural head coverings as they would reduce the costs of supplying hairnets. During the second world war turbans had to be made fashionable to encourage women to work safely in factories fore the war effort, enter Camen Maranda. Here in Australia authorities are trying to get us to wear wide brim hats, outside, to attempt to reduce skin cancer.
The cross on the chain is actually starting to push the minimal jewellery rules.
When I worked for Ansett and then the 'Red Rat' (QANTAS), the minimal jewellery rule was limited to a plain watch, a single plain wedding or signet ring, and/or for women, 1 set of small plain ear rings or studs as was also stated by the BA talking head.
I can still remember when the controversy caused when one of my male colleagues wore a single ear stud to work. That one was easily pleaded out, in his favour, on sexual discrimination grounds, but in general the minimal jewelery rules basically remain the same.
From Check-in and specially the ramp area it is a factory like environment. There are conveyor belts, lifting equipment, motor vehicles and all other manner of machinery. As such loose objects have to be kept to a minimum.
Jewellery has a habit falling off or getting caught in machinery. It either fouls up the machinery or can seriously injure the wearer.
