Qatar Airways says that sharp or point objects are not allowed on the aircraft - An Airborne Plane With Wheels Down

I emailed Qatar Airways to ask if I would be permitted to carry multiple pieces of jewellery (not real gold or silver) on board if some had pointy or sharp edges. They responded saying sharp objects are not permitted which could be injurious to others.

It's just jewellery and I don't want to put it in checked because some are gifts and some are just valuable and special to me. And I have no intention of hurting anyone and I don't see how a corner or point on jewellery will cause harm to others.

So would I not be able to take them on the aircraft or not? I dont want to get them taken off me. I have a bracelet and it is square in the middle with 4 points/edges, necklace has corners that are point or sharp, but not that sharp to cayse injury to someone. These are just some examples. Has anyone ever done this. I have taken jewellery before but I don't remember if it had a sharp point.

Also does anyone know the limit of taking jewellery on board or does it not apply in my situation as I am not carrying gold or silver.
