First responders actually have a device which cracks tungsten rings (I have one), but they are easier “crack” than cut.

Interesting thank you. I'm still not sure I'd go for one but it's not as bad as I'd thought providing they know what they are dealing with.

You can also do it using a pair of Vise-grips. Just adjust the tool so that the closed mouth is slightly smaller than the ring. The ring will break but not hurt the finger.
