I would count it as a normal staff in all mechanical ways. Similar to the As You Like It rule for armor (Adventurers, p. 109), I think the intent here isn't for the particular description of the bejeweling to change the nature of the item beyond making it more valuable. One could, of course, always come up with a more detailed description if this seems to break willing suspension of disbelief: maybe there are wooden prongs that hold the ball in place and extend beyond it.
