Ring stuck on finger!

Earlier this evening I was a fool and rammed on my sister's gorgeous new ring on my middle finger. 5 hours later it is well and truly stuck! We've tried every conceivable method, which has only shredded my finger (do not recommend the dental floss technique) and made my finger swell to about 4 times its natural size. I really want to avoid going to A&E due to embarrassment and inconvenience. AIBU to ask for any methods I may have overlooked.

Have you offered to pay for all the repair costs?

Did you take any pictures..... 👀👀👀

Glad it’s of though. I used to work in a jewellery shop as a teen and people would come in to get rings cut off fairly often. One of them used to smell bad 😷 😱

Off not of

I'm still not sure if it was cut off or taken off? Confused
Glad it's off either way!

Glad it's off Op. I hope your sister's red mist lifts soon.

I've done the thread trick with elastic and it worked well - it's softer and thicker than thread/floss so it doesn't cut into the finger and hurt as much, but still manages to compress the finger enough to get the ring off.
