The consensus around here is that rings are a personal choice. Some people wear them as a reminder that they are standing up for their marriage. Others take them off as a sign that the old marriage is dead, or to help detach. You can experiment with what feels right to you. Your decision can change every day. Trying to guess if W will read the ring in a particular way is mind-reading, which never did anyone any good. Decide what wearing it means to you and choose accordingly.
Food for thought: you can't control her. Only yourself. You may have "made" her take off her ring, but that probably had consequences. I wouldn't repeat it, no matter how disrespected and angry you feel. Focus on yourself. Yes, she's disrespecting you. Distance yourself. She's a crazy neighbor for now. You wouldn't tell your crazy neighbor how to live her life, would you?
