Does it sometimes happen to you that you open your jewelry box and are ready to pick out a necklace or a pair of earrings, only to find them all tangled together? Don’t worry, today I’m going to show you some easy ways to quickly untangle those stubborn pieces of jewelry.
Use Common Household Items to Tackle Tangled Jewelry
The easiest way to untangle tangled jewelry is often to have small objects on hand that we take for granted. For example, a fine needle or toothpick. When cleaning your jewelry, start by placing it on a clean, flat surface (preferably a soft cloth surface to avoid scratching the jewelry), then take out a needle or toothpick and gently insert it into the knots. If your necklace or bracelet is badly tangled, don’t be impatient, be patient and take it apart a little at a time, you’ll see results in no time.
Patience is Key: How to Untangle Without Damaging Your Jewelry
Untangling your jewelry requires a little patience, so don’t be in a hurry. Patience is key, especially with delicate necklaces or bracelets. The process of untangling may take a few minutes, or even longer, but as long as you are careful, the jewelry will generally not be damaged. Don’t be discouraged if it doesn’t seem to be going well at first, keep taking it apart carefully and you’ll be successful!
Quick Fix: Using Baby Oil or Olive Oil to Loosen Tight Knots
If you don’t feel like using a pin, another option is to use baby oil or olive oil. These oils not only help the jewelry chain slide, but they also lubricate those tight knots. Simply put a few drops of oil on the knot and gently rub it with your finger or a cotton swab; the oil will seep into the knot seam and make the knot easier to untie. After waiting a while, you’ll be able to untie it easily. The shine of the jewelry will be maintained while it’s being untangled, just remember to wipe off any excess oil with a damp cloth after you’ve untangled it.
Avoid Tangling in the Future: Simple Tips for Proper Jewelry Storage
Once you’ve learned the art of untangling jewelry, you’ll of course want to avoid similar tangling situations in the future. In fact, prevention is the best approach! First of all, it’s best to store each piece of jewelry separately to prevent them from getting tangled up with each other. Chain necklaces and thin bracelets, in particular, can greatly reduce the chances of tangling by storing them separately. You can also invest in a small jewelry box with compartments so that each piece of jewelry has its own place, which not only avoids tangles, but also keeps your jewelry neat and clean.
