Difficulty removing a ring often results from swelling of your fingers. Try using lubricants like soap, lotion, or oil to ease it off. Cold water can reduce swelling; soak your hand for a few minutes. If it's still stuck, gently use dental floss or a thread to compress the swollen area: wrap it around the finger, and then slowly unwind it under the ring.
