Abstract: A finger or thumb ring bottle opener with a continuous band with a tab defined by a pair of notches located at the back of the ring and the tab does not extend beyond the top, bottom or exterior surfaces of the ring. In use, the ring is placed on the finger of the user with the tab facing the fingertips and is positioned on a bottle cap so that the tab engages the bottom portion of the skirt of the bottle cap and a portion of the cap is in the notches of the ring. Forward and upward force applied to the ring through the finger causes the cap to separate from the bottle. In one embodiment, a platform is disposed on the front of the ring for promotional indicia or ornamentation.
