No, it is not unprofessional. Unprofessional was my old boss farting in my office and then calling me in to discuss a project with the stench still thick in the air while he picked his nose and looked at my boobs. I could deal with loud jewelry.

What the fuck? Do you have misphonia?

OP, there's one surefire way to never have to listen to the noise again.......you can quit.

OP, just put in headphones and listen to some music instead of the jangling.
I totally appreciate how annoying it must be, but if you aren't comfortable mentioning it to her, you just have to suck it up.

Everyone has to use one of those emergency chemical exposure showers, too, with industrial soap, lest anyone's toiletries have any lingering scents

There is nothing per se unprofessional about wearing a bracelet. I wear a Medic Alert bracelet and there cannot be any argument against that.

If this individual -- one person - is making too much noise, ask her politely if she could detach her bracelet. In other words, this one person is the problem, not all jewelry.

Or get some white noise machines for your space.

Everyone who works in open offices should be wearing noise canceling headphones.

You're joking, right? Bracelets is something you would discuss with your boss???

this is what keeps you up at night?

While you're at it; why don't you just ask her to stop breathing. I'm sure the constant sound of air filling her lungs just bugs the hell out of you. It's not like your uptight self centered ego ever does anything annoying.

The simple thing to do is to let her know that the bracelets are noisy and you find it distracting. No need to involve a supervisor. If you do, he/she will wonder why you didn't try to fix it yourself first.
