A Jeweller's Tip for Removing a Stuck Ring With a Thread.

A Jeweller s Tip for Removing a Stuck Ring With a Thread.

Your ring is stuck on your finger and you can't get it remove ?

It happens when you have swollen fingers or during pregnancy.

But wait before cutting your ring with pliers or going to the emergency room!

A jeweler gave me a super effective truc to easily remove a ring that is too small or stuck .

To remove a ring that is too tight, the trick is to use a thread. Watch:

How to

1. Take a thin thread and make a loop.

2. Slide the loop under the ring towards the nail.

3. Pull on both ends of the thread to adjust it. The loop is on one side of the ring (nail side) and the two ends of the wire on the other side (hand side).

4. Insert a thicker yarn through the loop.

5. Gently pull the ends of the thin thread to pass the loop with the thick thread under the ring. The thick thread will thus slide under the ring.

6. Continue to pull:the thick thread is now passed under the ring. You can then remove the fine thread.

7. Take the longer end (nail side) of the thick thread and wrap it around your finger to the nail.

8. Now take the other end of the thick thread and unroll it in the direction of the nail, passing under the finger and then above.

9. Continue to pull gently on the thread while unrolling it until the ring is removed.

There you go, you have finally removed your stuck ring easily :-)

Easy, fast and efficient, right?

And no need for a plastic bag or worse to cut your precious ring!

It's still easier to get the ring out!

Additional advice

The most difficult thing is to pass the fine thread between the ring and the finger without hurting yourself.

For this, you can take a somewhat stiff thread like fishing line.

And you can also use a needle to slip the thread under the ring.

Why does it work?

Pulling the thread while unrolling it will cause the ring to slide.

The ring thus slides to the end of the finger effortlessly.
