Put it in cold water, it will shrink your finger if it is swollen at all.

Make sure you are wiggling the ring as you try to take it off. Put some lotion on your hand and try again- this will make your finger and the ring slipperier.

If you cannot get the ring off, it means that your finger has gotten larger or the ring has gotten smaller. Think about where you were when you put the ring on. Possibly you have moved to a drastically colder place, causing the metal to contract. If this is the case, try to warm your hand up. Possibly you moved to a drastically warmer place, causing you to sweat, and your fingers to swell a little bit. If this is the case, try to cool your hand down.

One method is to work a piece of string under the ring, the long end toward the end of your finger and the short end, enough to get a good grip on toward the knuckle. Then wrap the long end around and around your finger tightly past the first knuckle, the one you can't get past. Pulling on the short end of the string toward the end of the finger should unwind the string as if it was coming off a spool of thread. This circular motion will walk the ring up the finger and over the knuckle to freedom.

How to Remove a Ring That's Stuck on a Finger?

Maybe that ring's been on your finger for a mighty long time. Or perhaps the hot weather has caused your fingers to swell. Here's how to ease a ring off.

Instructions

Soak your hand in ice-cold water if it is swollen. Wait 5 to 10 minutes for the swelling to recede.

Apply lubricant around the ring and up the length of your finger. Hand lotion, dishwashing liquid or olive oil will do the trick.

Twist the ring as you slowly work it up and over the knuckle. You may need to apply some force to get it over the first knuckle. Make sure to twist, not tug.

If the ring still won't budge, visit a doctor to have it removed.

Tips & Warnings

If you're experiencing swelling from an injury, it is important to remove any rings before the swelling worsens, because the rings might cut off the finger's blood supply.

If a ring gets stuck on your finger how do you get it of?

wet your hand and apply lot of soap on your finger. the ring will slip through your finger due to the soap. The best way to get a ring off is to use Windex glass cleaner. Spray it on the finger around the ring and knuckle and just twist it back and forth while working it down and over the knuckle. Works every time. This is great if you have arthritic knuckles that tend to swell but you never know when.

What finger do you wear a ring?

The common custom is to wear an abstinence ring on the ring finger of the left hand although some seem to wear on the ring finger of the right hand. The ring finger is the fourth digit of the human hand, located between the middle finger and the little finger. Commonly, the ring finger of the left hand is reserved for engagement rings and marriage bands, thus, the abstinence ring is differentiated from these by symbols and markings. It is also placed on this finger in order to ward off people looking for a good time; seeing the ring they assume you are married and may perhaps move on to find another person.
