Standing Committee for Academic Research and Issuing Fatwas said:

“It is permissible for a woman to enter Ihram with bangles or rings of gold on her hands, and so on, but it is prescribed for her to conceal that from non-Mahram men, lest they be tempted by her.

And Allah is the Source of strength. May Allah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and his family and companions.” (Shaykh `Abd Al-`Aziz ibn `Abdullah ibn Baz, Shaykh `Abd Ar-Razzaq `Afifi, Shaykh `Abdullah ibn Qa`ud- Fatawa Al-Lajnah Ad-Da’imah lil-Buhuth Al-`Ilmiyyah wal-‘Ifta, 11/190-192).

Shaykh Ibn `Uthaymin (may Allah have mercy on him) said in Majmu` Fatawa Ibn `Uthaymin (22/201):

“There is nothing wrong with a woman wearing whatever she wants of gold when entering Ihram, so long as that does not reach the level of extravagance, even rings and bangles on the hands, but in that case she should conceal it from non-Mahram men lest any temptation occur.”
