Take a Sheet and Paper to Write Down the Materials You Need
Before you begin untangling your necklace, gather your supplies. Take a sheet of paper and write down the following items we recommend using for the task:
- A small cup or dish with a flat surface in case small pieces of your necklace fall out.
- A paper clip, needle, or anything sharp that can reach the tight spots.
- If the knot is too tight, you will need to use an oily liquid to release it. Since it is gentle and nonabrasive, mild soap is a good choice for cleaning fine jewelry and preventing knots.
- Paper towel to clean up the jewelry after finishing.
Hands to Work: The Tricks and Tips to Untangle a Necklace
The process of untangling a necklace is simple but requires delicate hands. Below are the necessary steps to get your necklace looking like new again.
- Begin by locating the necklace's end. This will be the starting point for untangling.
- Start gently easing the knots with one end of the paper clip, sewing needle, or toothpick when you've reached the end.
- If you encounter a particularly tight knot, apply one drop of mild soap to the knot to aid in loosening. You can reapply if you feel like it’s necessary.
- When you see that all the knots have been loosened, gently pull them with your finger. You must be careful with this step to avoid breaking the necklace.
- Be patient and continue loosening the knots until you detangle.
After this last step, it's just a matter of time before you see your necklace in pristine condition again.
