How to Fix Loose Stones in Rings
It sounds like something from a fairy tale, but by tapping stones on your rings you can tell if they’re starting to come loose. If you hear a slight rattle, go to the jeweler to get it reset.

How to Remove a Stuck Ring
If you are unable to remove a ring from your finger, run your hands under very cold water for a few seconds.

A stuck ring can also be gently wriggled off by coating the finger with lip balm or olive oil and wriggling it off. (As for why you frantically need a ring off your finger—who are we to judge?!)
