Here’s How to Take Out Knots from A Silver Chain

We all love chains- who doesn’t? The simplest accessory that’s so mutable with a simple change of pendants. The best way of storing plain chains is to hang each chain on separate hooks or store in separate pouches. It’s when we forget & dump them in a heap at the bottom of our jewellery boxes that the chains get tangled up. Anyone who’s tried to separate a ball of chains knows how difficult it is.

In this blog, we’ll be showing you the easiest way of untangling silver chains. It’s still hard work, but this technique is guaranteed to cut the detangling time in half.

Undo the Clasp or Fastening

Long lengths of chains tend to get much more tangled & are less easy to untangle. If your sterling silver chain happens to have a hook or clasp of some kind, undo it. If you have several chains tangled together- patiently untangle each one.

Undoing the clasp separates the chains enabling the two ends to slide through the knot.

Lay out your necklace(s) on a flat and hard surface. Separate as much of the necklace(s) as possible on the flat surface.

Place Chains on Flat Surface

The knot of chains is more visible when you place them on a flat surface & prevents confusion about which end belongs to which chain.

Prevent further tangles while working through the knotted chains when you place the necklaces on a flat surface.

Apply Oil

This one’s easy- apply oil onto the knot & gently massage the oil into the knot. The oil will slip into all the cracks & corners of the knot, making it easier for the chain to slip out from the knot.

Baby oil is light & doesn’t cling unlike coconut or mustard oil. If you want to wear the chain immediately after untangling use baby oil- it wipes off easily.

Use Needles to Untangle

Knitting needles or sewing pins to get the tangles out are less painful instead of your nails or fingers.

Using only 1 pin, slip in the pointy end into the knot, working it back & forth, loosening the knot enough to slip the ends through.

TWO pins are even better than one!

Stick both needles through the middle of the knotted chain. Pull the needles away from each other again & again until the knot comes loose. Once the knot has worked loose, you can use your finger to separate the knots.
