I just tried the baby powder method with a very small knot in a very thin gold necklace and ended up with the original small knot and at the other end a very large knot. Other ideas?

The baby powder method didn't work for me. 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 minutes and the necklace has been knotted up for at least 2 years.
I used oil and sewing needles. It was really knotted. Can you be leave it took me it took me 3 hours to finally get the knots out. As soon as the last knot came out I said its about time. Held it up and the chain broke
:(!!!
I put olive oil on my thumb and index finger and then rubbed the know slowly between the two fingers. I took two safety pins and was able to loosen two knots in a very thin chain.
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. :*)
Canola oil and tweezers! Then I gently rubbed the knot with my middle finger and thumb. Then put a paperclip through the hole (circle) - then I was able to get the knot out and this was all under 45 seconds!
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.
Thanks for the help. I will try the oil method.
Wow! The olive oil and two needles worked perfectly! Within 2 minutes the knot was gone from a very thin white gold chain! Thanks everyone!
Just wanted to say I've spent 2 days trying to get the not out of a silver neck chain. I tried olive oil and didn't need any pins.
Oil and pin. Worked in one minute. Thanks!

I had a very slim gold chain disentangled by the olive oil and pin trick from your website, however I used a sharp tooth pick. It was really effective. Thank you

Do not use oil because I tried it and I broke my necklace it was the last thing my grandma gave me!
Olive oil and two pins and in minutes a very fine chain came out of the knot. Had worked on it about 1/2 hour. Would have never gotten it loose because without the olive oil even if a pin is inserted in the knot it cannot move it.
Yes!! Yes!! The massage between two fingers to loosen the knot just worked beautifully on two knots In a gold chain w/using a safety pin to pick out the knots
