Congratulations, but I think you might be overstating the durability of that ring.
I suspect you could get rid of it by abrasively machining it under water with an electric
1 or pneumatic die grinder and a cutting wheel. That would certainly hurt less than the alternative you propose. And if you happened to find a friendly firefighter, they would likely make short work of the ring with their hydraulic cutters.
Also, doctors will likely attempt bloodletting or dissection before amputation, so you'd have that to look forward to, before they pull out the miniature bone saw.
1 If mains electric, use a large ungrounded bucket or tub, and insulate the operator from the electrical source. Don't use a grounded fixture. Low-voltage DC won't care much as long as you don't submerge it—and if you do, it will still work for a while.
