Should be pretty easy to crack this off. With tungsten carbide rings they use a pair of locking pliers to crack it. I would imagine this is even more brittle.

What "scientific idea" does this represent?

It looks really beautiful, nice work! But I wonder if it's practical, rings are usually made of ductile materials that easily adapt to the shape of a person's finger, whereas the middle of this ring is a rigid, perfect circle. It also looks like it would break after a while.

”Meant to visually represent ideas”

Some of the worst advice on the internet right here. Do not listen to this guy, he has no clue what he's talking about. I don't know what made him think he has the authority to comment what he did, but he clearly does not work with machinery and does NOT have the authority to say shit.
Google "lathe degloving" if you want to know why.

Nah you should practically never wear gloves with stationary equipment. Bumping a spinning part with your hand can be bad and will hurt. Bumping it with a glove on is more likely and it has a higher chance of getting caught in something and dragging your hand in.

How good do they look when you arrive to the ER with a broken finger and they can’t get it off. Rings terrify me.

Wear gloves people. Even thin leather. Find a nice pair that fit.

Can I have your scraps? Haha. As a glass artists I got a hard on seeing a chunk of opal that big. Jokes aside, thats some seriously cool work you're doing.
