We all know at least one woman who takes the jewelry thing to insane excesses. I have no real problem with jewelry, but I have issue with outright vanity and excess in buying all the jewelry a person can possibly handle. Some men just feel they are avoiding the problem completely by creating a prohibiton on jewelry that doesn't exist in scripture.
Some go as far as to even ban the rubber bracelets. Never mind that the very definition of jewelry demands that it be some sort of jewels or costly material so rubber bracelets don't fit the definition at all.

So, punish the group for the sins of a few? Doesn't make sense to me. Some people have a problem overeating and regularly make a foray into gluttony, but do we forbid the entire congregation to eat? Some people miss church for work regularly, but do we forbid the congregation to work?
This is the issue we've had, we don't deal with the problem with individuals, we make blanket rules.
Just my opinion.
