Advice

• If the ring isn't too tight then there is a simple way to handle it with the help of someone else. Usually the ring is stuck where the skin is gathered at the knuckle, so if you can flatten the skin, the ring should come out relatively easily. Just ask someone to pull the skin of your finger back, while pulling out the ring (lubricant can be used).
• If the ring is stuck because the skin has gathered in the knuckle joint, you can use your thumb and middle finger to hold the ring, stretch the skin with your index finger so that the skin goes under the ring, and slide the ring over. knuckles.
• If you have to cut the ring, every jeweler knows it will take at least 2 weeks to fix the ring to fit your finger. The finger takes this time to heal.
• Please be patient. Don't get impatient if you can't take the ring off right away. It takes time and may have to use a few different solutions.
• Take a long, cold shower or go outside if it's cold to cool down. Of course, do not overdo it.
• When the ring reaches the knuckle, press down on the knuckle and pull as high as you can. This will help pull the ring away from the knuckle toward the tip of the finger.
• This will help if you need to remove the ring from your slightly swollen finger in the morning.
• Always let the ring finger slightly bend down, as this reduces the skin of the finger to clump up at the knuckle, resulting in a slightly smaller joint.
• Measure your ring size if you haven't been. The size of the ring can change whether you gain weight or lose weight, or simply because of age. Every jeweler has a set of rings to measure size.
• Don't worry if you have to cut the ring as needed. It only takes a few seconds, doesn't hurt at all, and the ring is easy to fix. Don't hurt your hands because the ring is too tight - just go to the hospital or go to a good jeweler. They will take the ring off for you.
• Wash the ring with soap and warm water. Slippery soap can help loosen the ring, and hot water can cause the ring to relax a little. Try to turn slowly, without jerking, to avoid pain.
• Use a lubricant like butter, nonstick cooking sprays or baby oil on your fingers. These substances can make it easier to remove the ring.

Warning

• Some glass washers can contain ammonia, which can potentially damage certain metals and gems. Remember to check first!
• Get medical help if there is other injury to the finger that is causing the swelling. Do not pull out the ring if you think the finger may be broken.
• A jewelry store may have a ring cutter. Once the ring is removed, they can re-fit your finger, but only after the finger has healed, which usually takes about 2 weeks. It's best to go to a store that has a jewelry repair department, as they'll probably know how to do it.
• If the finger turns blue and the ring cannot be removed, go to the emergency room promptly for treatment.
• Most emergency rooms have a ring cutter that takes just a few seconds, and you can still take the ring to the jeweler for repairs.
