When you’ve got gorgeous pieces like those from Junk Jewels, from our Kaleidoscope Disco Bracelet to our Rainbow Heart Necklaces, you want to ensure they’re always ready to wear—tangle-free! Let’s unravel this mystery together and make your jewellery woes a thing of the past.

How to Untangle Necklaces: Step-by-Step Guide

Before you start, take a deep breath and find a comfortable space with good lighting. Patience is key, so don't rush it. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you out:

1. Lay It Out: First things first, lay the tangled necklaces on a flat surface. A soft cloth can help prevent scratching, especially if you're dealing with delicate pieces like Junk Jewels' charm necklaces.

2. Identify the Culprits: Examine the knot closely to identify which necklaces are involved and how they're tangled. Sometimes, it’s a single necklace that’s looped over itself.

3. Loosen the Knot: Using a straight pin or a needle, gently tease apart the knotted sections. Be careful not to pull too hard, as this could damage the links. This is especially crucial for dainty pieces like the Pastel Stone Heart Charm Hoop Earrings.

4. Use a Plastic Straw: For really stubborn knots, thread one end of the necklace through a plastic straw. This can help give you leverage to work on the knot without adding more tangles.

5. Patience Is a Virtue: Keep at it, applying gentle pressure and using your needle or pin to work through the knot. Remember, slow and steady wins the race!

6. Storage Solutions: To prevent future tangles, store each necklace separately. Consider using a jewellery organiser, individual pouches, or even hanging them on hooks.

Tips to Prevent Necklace Tangles

• Wrap It Up: Use a soft cloth or tissue to wrap each necklace before storing it. This adds a layer of protection and prevents them from intertwining.

• Chain Length Matters: When storing, try to keep necklaces of similar lengths together. This helps prevent shorter chains from looping around longer ones.

• Travel Smart: If you’re packing for a trip, threading necklaces through a straw or using a travel jewellery case can keep them tangle-free on the go.

• Regular Checks: Periodically check your jewellery box to ensure necklaces aren’t starting to knot. A quick inspection can save you from a tangled mess later.

FAQs

Q: Why do necklaces tangle so easily?

A: Necklaces tangle due to their lightweight and flexible nature. When placed together, the chains can easily loop over one another, especially if they're different lengths.

Q: What household items can help untangle necklaces?

A: Common items like needles and straws can be incredibly useful when detangling necklaces. They help provide leverage to tackle stubborn knots.

Q: How should I store my necklaces to avoid tangles?

A: Store each necklace separately, either in a jewellery box with compartments, individual pouches, or on hooks. Wrapping them in soft cloth can also prevent tangles.
