This is used in a sentence talking about what factory workers cannot wear. Full sentence:
Le personnel ne doit pas porter de bijoux sur les bras et les main (exception faite des **alliances "anneau plein"**).
Does this just mean a wedding ring that doesn't have a diamond/other stone sticking out on it?
Merci !

plain band wedding ring
It's not just that it doesn't have a stone: it has no other dangerous "twidly bits" that might catch in machines and rip your finger off.

comment - nfg
Since this concerns food processing (see www.agriculture.gouv.fr/spip/IMG/pdf/dgaln20058263.pdf), it is not a matter of stones or fiddly bits catching on things and pulling fingers off, but simply/primarily one of hygiene, so it must not have recesses that could harbour germs.
Apart from anything else, fiddly bits would break off under reasonable force. On the other hand, rings of any kind, including plain bands, ARE dangerous in industrial situations. The classic accident is hand crushing (under a pallet, for example) where the weight traps/crushes the hand but would not in and of itself do any serious damage. Unfortunately, the weight often causes a ring to tilt/turn and move to a horizontal position, thereby sectioning the finger in two places. And even plain bands can snag on machinery and cause fingers to be pulled off.
All machinery can be dangerous, for that matter, jewellery aside. I used to know a girl with long hair who was scalped by a ski-lift ...

: Have I missed something? Where does it say this is to do with food hygiene?

Asker's quote can be found in the above site re. food hygiene for export to the USA and I make the dangerous assumption it is the same text.
