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.
