Let's start with the most affordable method, which is enough ... tap water. Dip the hand where the engagement rings are stuck in cold water for 5-10 minutes. Then pull it out and hold it in the raised position for a while to allow the blood to flow out. This can help remove the ring from your finger. On the other hand, the metal itself is susceptible to cold, so the problem may get worse if the ring is also slightly compressed. Alternatively, take a piece of ice and apply it only to the skin, so as not to affect the metal jewelry.

How can I help you:
* liquid soap,
• oil,
• any greasy ointment (the most affordable option is vaseline),
* hand creams,
* shampoos and balms.

At least one of these tools is available in every home. Apply it liberally to the affected finger. Then take a small piece of cloth, wrap the engagement rings for better grip, and try to turn. In most cases, you can easily pull a swollen finger out of the trap.

How to remove engagement rings from a swollen finger at home using thread

As strange as it may sound, you can remove the ring from a swollen finger with a thread. If soaping, oiling and other lubricating methods did not help, and the decoration is stubbornly not removed, it's time to let the heavy artillery into battle. To do this, we need a length of thread about 1 m in length. It is best to take the thread as strong and slippery as possible – for example, nylon or silk.

We also need the thinnest needle. With its help, the thread must be passed through the ring from the tip of the finger. And wrap the rest of the thread tightly around your finger so that there are no gaps. Ready? Now take the tip at the base of the affected finger, and start gradually unwinding the thread. As a result, you will slowly move the decoration and release the "hostage". This method will help you quickly remove even a tight ring.
