No more headache of tangled jewelry. Here is the trickiest method to get rid of these little knots without risking damaging your necklaces, earrings and other bracelets. Believe us, you wish you knew this sooner…
Knots in jewelry are a bit like a bad dream. A little wire that twists, another that gets stuck, and that’s the start of the nightmare. Fortunately, there is a very effective way to untie these links, without having to pull your hair. The key? A kitchen item that already sits in your cupboards.
If you’ve ever tried to untangle a chain or bracelet, you know it’s a tedious task. Pulling from side to side usually ends up making the knots even tighter. What you need is something that will soften the links and make them easier to separate. But, before taking out the tongs and other tools, go to the kitchen and grab your bottle of olive oil. Apply a small drop to tangled areas and massage gently to distribute the product. You will see that, little by little, the links will begin to come loose and the knots will unravel much more easily. Acting as a lubricant, it will effectively allow the links to slide over each other without sticking. So, in just a few movements, you will be able to loosen the tangles and find your jewelry like new.
Indeed, neutral cooking oil, often forgotten in this type of situation, is ultimately the most radical, because it is gentle enough not to damage your jewelry, but effective enough to loosen the most stubborn knots. However, baby oil has a light and even more delicate texture, making it a good option for finer or particularly fragile jewelry. You will have understood, cooking oil or that of your toddlers will save you time and energy, while avoiding the risk of damaging your favorite accessories. Information to remember!
