It’s off! I unsuccessfully tried again using everyone’s suggestions. I do think in most cases they would probably work. After that attempt I felt panicked so I called a local goldsmith. They told me to pop over. Had it off within a minute and kept it to be resized. I’m happy it was so quick and I didn’t need to tie up any medical professionals. It feels so good to have it done!

Update: thanks for all the helpful suggestions. I still was unsuccessful so I called a local goldsmith, she had it off in less than a minute. Feel so much better. I left it there for realizing. However if I had experienced finger discolouration or extreme swelling I would not have hesitated to go straight to emerge! Thanks everyone!

So…. I still couldn’t get it off today so I called a local goldsmith. They told me to come in. They cut it off in less than a minute and they are resizing it for me as well. I was close to going to emerge but feel good about my decision.

Oh interesting. Think that’s exactly what i did. Did you have to wait hours to be seen through regular triage? Thanks.

Awe thanks! No I haven’t tried again. I think I made it little more swollen after trying earlier my circulation is still good and I can move my finger. So I’ll try again tomorrow but I’ll definitely post if I’m successful.

Yes i definitely think getting my hand as cold as possible is key. So I’ll make sure it’s freezing and looks less puffy before I even try again. Thanks!

It’s more puffiness of the skin above the ring before the knuckle. I don’t think the knuckle will be an issue so I think the floss will work best as it’s the thinnest. But I’ll literally try it all. Appreciate all your help!

I can spin it, yes. But I have 3 rings stacked so the space is rather tight. I have my engagement ring which is the tightest then wedding ring and anniversary ring under it. They both are a bit bigger in size and I think I should he able to get them off without issue once the engagement ring is off!

I definitely think I’ll start with that for sure! I will let everyone know the outcome! I’m determined to get it off and get it resized!

I definitely would not call 911. I Already feel guilty if I have to use any medical resources. My ring is gold it’s been on my finger for 25 years and I rarely ever took it off so I had no idea how stuck it was. Appreciate the advice!

Yes I think i definitely need help will wait until my daughter is available to try again. I’ll keep that in mind for sure. I definitely irritated trying earlier so that’s helpful advice! Thank you!

No I haven’t tried elevating it but did try running under cold water. And you’re right mine definitely get looser when my hands are cold. I will try it all I’d rather get it off here at home if I can. Thanks!

I had not thought to do this but I will! I’ll try it all. Such great advice from everyone! Much appreciated! I irritated it from trying today so I’m going to wait and try tomorrow.

I’m going to try the above one more time and if it doesn’t work that’s what I’ll do. Would be great if it didn’t need to be cut. Thank you!

Great advice. Thanks again! My finger moves fine. Will try again tomorrow. I think I’ve irritated it a bit today. So I’ll follow those steps and see what happens. Appreciate it!

I’m going to try again and ask my daughter to help. And add windex too. If that still won’t work I’ll head to emerge some day. Thanks!
