This trick could help you remove a ring that’s stuck on your finger without breaking it

Trick

All you need for this trick is an elastic band or a thin piece of string that is a little bit stretchy. Tie the elastic band around your finger tightly, just above the top knuckle and then make your way down to the ring, wrapping the elastic around your finger tightly. This can feel a bit uncomfortable because the elastic is pressing down swollen tissue. When you’ve reached the ring, you should try to poke the end of the elastic through the ring using a pair of tweezers. Now, gently pull this end of the elastic so it will spiral loose from your finger again. You will notice the ring will come with it. If you use this trick, you’ll never have to cut off a ring!

Take a look at the video below to see the trick in action:
