I noticed the other day that my hands are becoming swollen (they'll soon be a nice match with my cankles). Last night I managed to get my engagement ring off, but my wedding ring - which has always been a little tight - seems firmly stuck.

I looked on the net for solutions and saw that windex is widely recommended, so I'll give that a try tonight - but given the way my finger's swollen around the ring, it might be impossible to get it off.

Two questions -
1. anyone had this problem and have a brilliant solution?
2. anyone had a ring cut off by a jeweller, and if so, is it really awful or does it feel OK?

Thanks in advance!
