For months, I had a tiny knot in the chain of this necklace. Is there anything more frustrating? I picked at it with a straight pin for hours with no success. Finally, I thought to search the internet for some assistance. I found it. Use oil to loosen up the knot. Baby oil and any type of cooking oil are said to work equally well. I went with canola oil since it was at the front of my pantry.
Lay the necklace on a flat surface. Provide a small pool of oil for the knot to sit in and then use two straight pins to unknot the chain. I had it done within a minute flat. Use a cloth to wipe the excess oil off the necklace and the flat surface. Triumph! Necklace restored. Let me know if you get a chance to try it out!
little knots are the worst... and thank you for posting this tip!! XO
ReplyDeleteYou must have read my mind because I currently have a knot in all of my Tiffany necklaces and they drive me crazy! Ironically, they are all near the clasp so I never bothered to do anything about it because you can't tell, but I will definitely be trying this out. Great tip!

good to know!!!
ReplyDeleteyou have no idea how much this made my day. i've got two currently sitting in my jewelry drawer that i love so so so much but have the same itty bitty knots. time to go work some magic:)
ReplyDeleteAnd when you get the knot out, hang them on a tie rack. I just bought one to hang all those necklaces that knot up in the drawers. It works. And you don't forget the ones in the bottom or back of the drawer. Now I can see them all.
ReplyDeleteGreat tip...have a necklace that has been making me cray cray...will try, thanks!
