little fluffer running away with your jewelry

If you’ve ever spent precious time untangling a knotted necklace, you know it’s a tedious and sometimes risky business. The culprits behind this perennial problem? The same mischievous trolls who seem to steal your socks from the laundry are undoubtedly having a laugh while they tie your jewelry into knots. But don’t despair! We’re here with some handy tips to help you not only unknot your chains but also prevent these crafty trolls from creating a tangled mess in the future.

Untangling the Knots:

1. Magnification &  Lighting: Unless you have super-powered eyeballs, any amount of magnification will assist in the challenge placed before you. Paired with some decent lighting and you will be setting yourself up for success in battle!
2. Use Tools: To untangle a knot, you need to employ some tools. A pair of tweezers and a straight pin can help you gently pull apart the knot. Remember, patience is key!
3. Lubricate: Apply a little bit of baby oil or cooking oil to the knot. This helps to loosen the knot. Keep in mind that this can make it more difficult to utilize your tweezers once the oil is added, so try without first.
4. Employ a Professional: If the knot is particularly stubborn, it might be time to visit a professional jeweler. It’s better to seek help than to risk breaking a treasured piece of jewelry.

Preventing the Knots:

1. Storage is Key: Proper storage can save you a lot of time and frustration. Consider investing in a jewelry box with individual compartments or hanging your necklaces on hooks. And here’s a little industry secret to keep the knots at bay – avoid leaving your jewelry box under a bridge, in a cave, or any other mythical places where trolls are rumored to congregate. It seems they just can’t resist a good knotting session!
2. Travel Wisely: If you’re traveling, consider using a jewelry roll or travel case with compartments to keep your chains separate and knot-free.
3. Clasp it: Before storing a necklace, make sure it’s clasped. This can prevent it from tying itself into knots.
4. Slow Down: Take your time when removing your jewelry. Whipping off your necklace at the end of the day is a surefire way to encourage those knots.

Armed with these tips, you can now outsmart those pesky jewelry-knotting trolls and keep your chains knot-free. Remember, taking good care of your jewelry not only saves you time but also helps your precious pieces last longer.
