A ring that is too tight on your finger is uncomfortable, and can even be dangerous. Try one or more of following methods to remove a tight ring: hold your hand up high and cool your finger with ice (to reduce swelling), soak your hand in icy water, apply a non-corrosive lubricant (soap, shampoo, butter, oil), or remove the ring using a piece of tooth flossing thread. Should nothing work, you can ask a jeweller to cut the ring off.
