The knuckle on my wedding band finger became swollen due to osteoarthritis.
I didn’t want to take the band off and it didn’t hurt, but it was obvious that it wouldn’t be easy to remove if I did want to take it off.
I went down the ice route, but that was so cold that it DID hurt, and it didn’t work either, maybe I was too much of a wimp with the icy cold pain!
I eventually went to a jeweller in Hatton Garden who specialised in ring repair, to explore having it cut off and repaired.
He rubbed some ‘magic’ cream on my finger, working it around for maybe 30 to 40 seconds, and gradually painlessly eased the band off.
He then checked the size of my finger with a selection of rings.
He told me to go get a coffee somewhere and return in an hour.
When I got back he slid the band back on and asked me to try to get it off and on again, this I could do, and it fit close enough for me to know that it wouldn’t slide off accidentally.
I said “Thanks a lot, how much is it and how did you do it?”
He said, “£30, and I heated it until it expanded to your finger size, then plunged it in cold water.”
