Alternate form jewellery.

Hi. I was wondering about what kinds of jewellery, the type you often find in dungeons with enchantments on them, you could theoretically still wear if you transformed, such as a Lycanthropic transformation, which don'y have the Druid's special gear-protecting features.
For example, say a Werewolf transformed, ripping it's armour / clothing, would it also shred the rings on it's fingers, the amulets around its neck or the ear rings. Also, would you be able to buy special gear specifically for that form, similar to barding for mounts?

I just want some people's opinion on this. Doesn't have to be serious, just wanted some opinions and musings on the matter.

I don't know that a wolf's neck is any thicker than a human one, so I don't see why amulets would shred.

Similarly, belts and girdles should surviv the transformation, from a mechanical point of view.

The specific notes in the SRD says that the transformation ruins armor, clothing and gear, including any items worn if the lycanthropic form is larger than the original.

So Werewolves are Medium, as are WereBoars. Wear Rats are Small, but WereBears and WereTigers are Large.

So, unless the PC is Small, or the Lycanthrope is Large, no gear gets damaged.
