Can a tungsten ring be cut off finger if needed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: There are some clever tips with lubrication and the winding of a cord around the finger and under the ring which might allow removal without cutting the ring. This can be found on the internet and is a good first step. Emergency rooms have cutting devices to remove rings if necessary.
