If you are going to have to buy something to cut it off, might I recommend a Leatherman Raptor? I broke my ring finger a couple of years ago in two places, and my wedding ring had to come off (after after about 45 years). The ER Dr was not having any luck with the ring-cutter he had--it wasn't even putting a mark in the ring, but he was making my broken finger hurt even more. Luckily, when he called out for a different ring cutter, an EMT was walking by, and he had a Raptor on his belt that he offered the Dr. What a nifty tool. One snip, and it was off. About $99 everywhere (including Amazon).
