Question Wearing jewelry in China

I feal silly asking this as I cannot imagine actually worrying about it, but my wife has heard that she should not wear her wedding/engagement ring in China because someone might cut off her finger to steal it. Is this a common occurance (its no hope diamond)? or is this more fear mongering from her mother? We'll only be in Beijing and Shanghai and don't plan on going to any remote villages or anything (unless I can get a great deal for one of my kidneys) .

Paranoid?
