Try winding the thread on from the tip of the finger first, then poke it under the ring. It avoids the blood getting trapped in the finger tip.
^^^ That's how we do it too. Jewelry used to be made of soft metals, now with titanium and stainless steel, it's not as simple as just 'snipping' the ring. Also, rings used to have rounded edges where a bit of butter, soap, oil or vas would get it off. A lot of cheap rings (especially stainless steel bands) are cut from a tube and the edge left square.
