A ring cutting device for cutting a ring lodged on a human finger and a device for separating and extracting a cut ring that is still on a wearer's finger. The ring cutting device can be operated by a single hand and includes an elongate power and drive portion that fits comfortable in a user's hand, a finger guard portion having a ring guard and a biasing system, a housing having a protective shield and a mount for mounting the finger guard portion, and a cutting portion having a rotatable circular saw blade that is mechanically coupled to the rotary drive mechanism of the power and drive portion. The power and drive portion includes a rotary drive mechanism that is mechanically coupled to a rotary drive motor the power and a light source for illuminating the ring during a cutting operation. The biasing system is mechanically coupled to the ring guard which includes a notched area for seating the ring before cutting and is disposed orthogonal or substantially orthogonal with respect to the longitudinal axis of the power and drive portion. Rotation of the circular saw blade is about the longitudinal axis of the power and drive portion.
