What to do if a gold chain is tangled?

1 min read
Quick answer: Tangled gold chain: Apply baby oil to the knot, use two toothpicks to push – never pull. Store hanging to prevent new tangles.

The best way to untangle knotted gold chains is on a smooth surface with two needle tips (toothpicks or tweezers) and a drop of baby oil as a lubricant. Never pull with force – this will irreversibly damage the links.

Step-by-step: Untangle a chain

  1. Lay the chain flat on a light, smooth surface
  2. Drip a small drop of baby oil or olive oil onto the knot
  3. Loosen the knot with two toothpicks or tweezer tips – do not pull, but push
  4. Work patiently from the outside in
  5. After untangling, clean the chain with soapy water to remove the oil

How to prevent tangling during storage

  • Store chains hanging (on a hook rack)
  • Place individually in zip-lock bags
  • Keep carabiner clasps closed during storage
