For female ranks, fingernails should not extend more than an inch past the fingers; officers may only wear minimal make-up in neutral hues. Officers are not permitted to wear jewelry while on duty, with the exception of a watch, wedding or engagement rings, earrings not exceeding an inch in diameter (not hanging or shimmering), and a necklace (to be hidden when wearing uniform), according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
