Sound familiar? Don’t worry—we’ve all been there!
Whether it’s your precious gold chain, a dainty silver necklace, or a trendy layered piece, knots can ruin the moment. But here’s the good news: untangling a necklace is easier than you think!
Follow these 7 easy steps (with Pakistani household hacks!) to fix your necklace in minutes.
How to Untangle a Necklace Chain (Step-by-Step Guide)
Step 1: Lay Your Necklace Flat
Unclasp the necklace and place it on a clean, smooth surface (like a dining table or marble counter). Pro tip: Use a white sheet or dark cloth to see the knots clearly.
Step 2: Add Lubrication (Desi Hacks!)
No fancy oils? No problem! Use:
✔ Coconut oil (great for gold/silver)
✔ Baby oil (smooth & gentle)
✔ Talcum powder (like Ponds powder—reduces friction!)
(Skip if you’re in a hurry!)
Step 3: Gently Massage the Knot
Use your fingers to softly rub the knot—don’t pull hard, or it’ll get worse!
Step 4: Start Loosening the Knot
Begin from the loosest part and gently wiggle it free.
Step 5: Use a Safety Pin or Needle
For stubborn knots, insert a pin (or a toothpick) into the center and slowly loosen one link at a time.
Step 6: Wash Off Residue
Once untangled, clean your necklace with mild soap (or baking soda + water for extra shine!).
Step 7: Dry & Wear with Pride!
Pat dry with a soft cloth (like a muslin dupatta) and flaunt your beautiful, knot-free jewelry!
Top Pakistani Tips for Untangling Necklaces
✔ Use mustard oil (a great lubricant for gold chains!)
✔ Try running it over a vibrating phone—sound weird? But the vibrations help loosen knots!
✔ Store properly—hang necklaces on a stand or wrap in tissue paper to avoid tangles.
Best Ways to Prevent Necklace Tangles
- Use a plastic straw: Thread the chain through and clasp it—no more knots!
- Keep jewelry separate—don’t dump all your gold bangles, earrings, and chains in one box!
- Hang them—use a jewelry organizer or even a clothes hanger with hooks!
