I didn’t know how it was going to work until the very end.

Alternate dental floss method: tie the floss at the base of the finger as tightly as possible. Ten days later, give the finger a gentle tug. Ring and finger are then easily separated when loose, and the ring is as good as new.

Maybe a detail, but wrapping down the finger seems to deal with the swelling better. But either way is much better than nothing.
