Has Anyone Had Ring Cut Off

[mustard-tree]

I had 2 rings which became very tight, and last night on the advice of NHS Direct, I went to A&E, where they were both cut off, (rings, not fingers)

Today, it feels as though the rings are still there, and I have a groove where they were.

Not surprising after wearing them for 10 years

Anyone else had a similar experience

I realised I couldn't get a ring off, about 6 months ago.  It didn't hurt but I thought it best to get it off before it became urgent.  Hubby cut it off for me with some snippers.  I still have the mark of it on my finger.:-D

I had tight wedding and engagement rings cut off at a jeweller's a few years ago.  The marks faded away, and the rings have been replaced with new ones. (same OH, though!)

I haven't had it done, but have done it a fair few times in A&E

had my wedding ring cut off in the jewellers, they put a piece of gold in and made it bigger, you can still see the line in the ring where they put the piece, but it hasn't come appart yet.

the marks will fade.

I had to have my wedding and engagement rings cut off when I was pregnant with Toxic....

OH bought me replacement ones but they never felt quite the same,lovely though they are 😞

Last Christmas I got the jeweller to repair my rings with gold from OH's very battered wedding ring (he never took it off from the day we were married) so now I wear both our rings,the ones we were married with...

Silly I know but it feels right again 🙂

I once cut somebody's wedding ring off for them.

She was very trusting, it was too tight to cut from the inside out so I had to cut towards her finger. 🙂

I did join it back together afterwards.

Thats not silly Twishy ........ thats really lovely :-x

I had to stop wearing my wedding ring while pregnant with my youngest & OH decided to suprise me go & get it enlarged (stupid really as my finger would have shrunk back & he had no idea of the size I would need anyway :|)   anyway later that night he tearfully confessed & then said he had lost it on the way  :_| 

He bought me another but like you say it doesn't have the same meaning anymore  even after all these years 😞

I recently took said ring along with my engagement ring & eternity ring into a jewellers to get them enlarged (for the second time - no fat finger comments please :|)  I took them off about 6mths ago after using half a bottle of washing up liquid to help the process :8}
I was gutted to find he was unable to add more gold to my eternity ring as it had worn so thin rubbing against the others  😞

twishy & CK...you soppy beggars...but I am a wee bit envious 😐

I haven't worn a wedding ring for years....I'll let you work that one out 😐

I didn't wear mine for about 6mths Merc, maybe even a little longer, yes they were too tight but I wasn't bothered about not wearing them at all ..... OH used to keep on at me to sort them out but I was in no rush :^O

they still feel strange now tbh & I keep taking them off (something I never used to do)  but I did like my eternity ring 😞

I stopped wearing my wedding ring when I lost my hubby. Mainly because I was so angry. I wear it now though.

I think he'd forgive you Maggie :-x

There is a well known zoo about 40 miles away and the owner was a well renowned national figure . Internationally known for her breeding programme and animal welfare..........

So when I was on a school bus trip with my young daughter whose finger was turning blue with a tight ring I had no hesitation in knocking on  said owners  house door and asking for help and the loan of some tools . The following ensued 

Who will take responsibility ? she asked 
I will.

Take her to the hospital .

But I have no car, I am on a school trip.

and this caring woman then  ...............................shut the door in my face !!!!

Luckily around the corner I found a workman, he slipped a screwdriver under the inside of the ring and cut it off for us.

She still has her finger, thanks to a lovely chap.

Aww twishy & CK its not soppy its lovely .

Its strange but  my wedding ring  still fits even though ive gained a fair amount of weight since we married , its a very wide one too as they were the fashion in 1973!

[mustard-tree]

I was widowed 10 years ago and rings were on one finger, my wedding ring and hubby`s.

I am not too concerned about not being able to wear them, the important thing to me is that I have them in my possession.

They are now in a little box on my dressing table.

That is just my choice, and I respect anyone whose choice is different to mine.

I had my wedding ring cut so it it would come as my fingers swelled very badly. I still wear the ring and where they cut it I wear it under the finger.
