How do I take off cursed items?

I made the mistake of wearing an amulet without identifying it, and now it turns out I can't take it off. I can't tell what effect it has while I'm wearing it, but it doesn't seem to have killed me yet. Even so, I would like to remove it until it can be properly identified.

How can I go about removing the cursed status, or short of that, how can I take it off despite its cursed status?

Removing Cursed Status

• Scroll of Uncursing
• Remove Curse Spell
• Praying to your deity
• Dipping the item into a potion of holy water will bless the item, which also results in the cursed status being removed.

Unequiping Cursed Gear

• Destroying the item will result it in being, well, destroyed. Which in turn will result in it being unequiped.
  • Scroll of Item Destruction
  • Traps
  • The Tower of Eternal Flames
  • Punishment from your god
