Getting a Knot Out of a Gold Necklace

RE: Getting a Knot Out of a Gold Necklace Post By Samantha Jones (Guest Post) (08/09/2008) Absolutely brilliant! The oil and pin trick. I'd spent the best part of 30-40 minutes trying get to my little knot out of a new necklace that i hadn't even worn yet, I was so frustrated. Then I came on here and in less than 30 seconds, it did the trick. Thanks so much - I will pass that little snippet on. :*) Report Spam or Abuse RE: Getting a Knot Out of a Gold Necklace Post By Pam (Guest Post) (02/20/2008) Thanks for the help. I will try the oil method. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Getting a Knot Out of a Gold Necklace Post By george (Guest Post) (01/12/2008) The olive oil worked great. I used a microscope and 2 pins and in less than 3 minutes, the knot was out and this was an ultra fine link "chain within a chain" design. The OLIVE OIL is the key. It permits the links to slide over each other effortlessly. Thanks for the help.

I took two safety pins and was able to loosen two knots in a very thin chain. Thanks for the suggestions - they were extremely helpful.

What I've found is the easiest way is rubbing the knot between your thumb and forefinger gently to loosen the knot, then picking the knot apart (either with your fingers or sewing pins) It only took me about 2 mins and the necklace has been knotted up for at least 2 years.

Jerry from Hanover, PA Answers: RE: Getting a Knot Out of a Gold Necklace Would sliming it up with soap work so that you can loosen the knot without breaking? Maybe lard, crisco or oil? Let us know. ~Frugal for Life (03/21/2006) By FFL RE: Getting a Knot Out of a Gold Necklace Lay the chain on a small plate and pour a little drop or 2 of veg. oil on it. Use 2 pins to work the knot apart. Then carefully wash the chain in soap and water (with the drain plug closed!) (03/21/2006) RE: Getting a Knot Out of a Gold Necklace Use baby powder (talc or cornstarch would be OK). Shake the entire necklace in a baggie with baby powder and it should start to come loose. Use straight pins (or sewing needles) to separate the links. Good luck. (03/21/2006) By Nancy Maloney RE: Getting a Knot Out of a Gold Necklace A drop of olive oil, two pins and really good light. IT takes some time, but be patient. Work on a surface that you can stick the pins into, and won't be ruined by a drop of olive oil. Good luck (03/21/2006) By Brandy RE: Getting a Knot Out of a Gold Necklace A fine needle, a magnifying glass (preferably hands free) some good light - and a lot of patience. (03/21/2006) By slw1299 RE: Getting a Knot Out of a Gold Necklace I've read somewhere that baby powder works great. (03/21/2006) By Nancy RE: Getting a Knot Out of a Gold Necklace The oil and 2 pins on a large flat surface... always works. (03/21/2006) By Mary, Crown Point, IN RE: Getting a Knot Out of a Gold Necklace Try holding the necklace (just above the knot) with a pair of tweezers. Then get a fine needle and if you can poke it in the knotted part. Hold the needle and the tweezers tight and gently shake them back and forth, it should loosen the knot a little. Either keep shaking with the needle or once it's loose use two pair of tweezers.

(03/22/2006) By sheri darling RE: Getting a Knot Out of a Gold Necklace Thank you to everyone who suggested the oil and pin trick. I just tried it and it worked like a charm!!! Make sure to use a magnifier as well if your nearsighted vision is lacking... (09/16/2006) By Susie B. RE: Getting a Knot Out of a Gold Necklace I tried the baby powder in baggie trick, and it worked like a charm! (04/29/2007) By L RE: Getting a Knot Out of a Gold Necklace Using a baggie with baby powder and shaking it REALLY works! I just used it for a necklace that had 2 knots and both came out with about 5-10 minutes of work. Thanks!
