"We don't live in Detroit!"

I, 17F just had an argument with my 72yo grandmother. Getting ready to go out to the store, putting on my rings (Abt 10, I like them, I'm very maximalist), she pulls me aside from the rest of the family and tells me I shouldn't wear them to go out because quote "some poor person not in their right mind will take you down for those rings". Context: We live in USA, but not Detroit or Camden or Chicago. So I say to her "We don't live in Kensington or Detroit. No one is going to "take me down" in broad day light on a busy street near a store that has multiple security guards outside, just to take my rings." So then she says that it doesn't matter and the world is a terrible place and that's when I walked away because I'm not listening to her awful bs and she wonders why I stay in my room all the time... because ANY conversation I have with her turns into an argument VIA HER COMMENTS.
