My rings are stuck on my fingers because I can't get them over my knuckles. I've tried ice, holding my hands above my head, Windex, soap, etc. What else can I try?

Soak your fingers in vegetable oil for about 10 minutes. Then, holding onto the ring firmly with a pair of pliers, try to turn the ring and at the same time slide it off your finger.

Vaseline, and dont pull the ring off, twist it around the finger as you go

Depending on if you have gained weight or not I had to get mine cut off.

If you can’t get them off by any other means go to a jewelry store. Most keep a tool that looks a bit like a hand operated can opener. A tapered lip goes under your ring (between the ring and finger) to protect your finger. The “can opener” wheel is then rotated and the ring is cleanly cut in to and can be removed. This does very little damage to the ring which can then be soldered back together, and re-sized to be a little larger for a better fit. I hope this helps.
