Trust us, we’ve been there.
Being a jewelry lover is not an easy task. In addition to the fact that each piece, depending on its material, requires certain careful instructions, it has happened to all of us that we are in the middle of a hurry, that we urgently need to leave, and just the necklace we wanted to use is completely tangled. So that in your desperation you are not going to make more disasters, worsen the knots, or break your chain, take a deep breath and read the tips we have for you.
Do not despair and learn to untangle your necklaces with these 5 ways
1. With the help of a needle
You need:
- A needle
- A flat surface
- Good lighting
What you’re going to do:
- Once you find a flat surface with good lighting, place your collar on it and grab a needle.
- Carefully insert the needle into the center of the knot. Slowly move the needle to create space inside the knot. With this you are going to loosen the chains a lot. Be careful when maneuvering so as not to puncture yourself.
- Once you have more space, try using the needle to undo the knot completely. Gently pull the loops away from the center. Be very patient.
- Repeat this process until you can completely clear the knot.
2. With tweezers
This option is only in case of emergency. If you’re on a trip or all you have on hand is your makeup bag, use your tweezers to untangle your necklaces.
Need:
What you’re going to do:
- Place the tangled collar on a flat surface with good lighting.
- Very carefully, seriously very carefully, grab and separate the individual loops or chains that are causing the knots.
- Once the knot is loose, finish untangling with your fingers.
3. Hot water and dish soap
Only in case your jewelry is very fine or stainless steel, you should take this option into account. It is forbidden to do it with fantasy jewelry.
Need:
- Hot water
- Dish soap
- A flat surface
- Probably a needle
- Good lighting
What you’re going to do:
- Soak your necklace for a few minutes in warm water and dish soap to help loosen the knot.
- If the chain is very tangled, gently rub the knot between your fingers.
- Once the knot is loose enough, you should be able to undo it with your fingers. If you can’t, try using a needle (repeat the steps we’ve already given).
- Dry gently with little touches.
4. Use baby oil
Believe it or not, baby oil is a great solution to untangle your necklaces. Like soap, it helps the chains loosen without the need to apply any external force.
Need:
- Baby oil
- Swabs
- Hot water
- A flat surface
- Good lighting
- Maybe a needle again
What you’re going to do:
- Place the tangled collar on a flat surface with good lighting.
- Dip a swab in baby oil. Use the swab to apply the baby oil over the knot, this will loosen the chain.
- For difficult knots, take your time and gently rub the knot between your fingers to loosen it. Use a needle if needed to help you.
- When you’re done, rinse the collar with warm water and mild soap. Gently pat dry.
- With talcum powder
This method can be a bit messy, so be prepared. Talc serves to make the loops easier to separate. It can also help prevent your chain from being damaged by friction.
Need:
- Talc
- Warm soapy water
- A flat surface
- Good lighting
- Again, a needle
What you’re going to do:
- Place the tangled collar on a flat surface with good lighting.
- Sprinkle the talcum powder directly on the chain, anywhere there is a knot.
- Gently rub the knot between your fingers to loosen it (use a needle if necessary).
- Once you’re done, rinse the collar with warm water and mild soap and pat dry.
