Use a straight pin to gently pull out all of the knots. If that doesn't work, place the necklace on a hard, nonporous surface such as glass. Apply several drops of baby oil or mineral oil to the chain, then use the pin to untangle the links. Proper storage should help prevent tangling.Aug 5, 2003
How do you untangle a chain without breaking it?
Try baby oil or olive oil instead. These lubricate your necklace just as well as baby powder. Dip a cotton swab in the oil, then dab the necklace knot to loosen up the chains. For especially stubborn knots, gently work the oil into the knot by massaging it until it loosens up.Jul 20, 2020
