How to Untangle Knotted Chains

Untangling a knotted chain can be a frustrating and intimidating experience. In this video Arden Jewelers gemologist, Angelo, will show you three techniques to help you unknot your own chains at home.

1. Gently roll the knot between your thumb and finger to loosen the knot.

2. Push pointed tweezers into the knot and let them expand to loosen it further.

3. Use paperclips to pull the knot apart little by little.

Remember, if you get stuck or your chain is damaged, Arden Jewelers can help. We have on-site jewelers with decades of experience untangling and repairing chains. Give us a call (916-481-8006) or stop by today.

Omg thank you so so so much I just untangled my necklace that my grandpa gave me before he passed away it means so much to me ♥️♥️♥️

Oh my god you are amazing! I did it in the same amount of time that you did! And I have had this necklace sitting around for about six months!!!

Wow !! This was so helpful . Literally rolled the knot in my fingers a little then randomly used the pins and it worked!

You're a bloody legend; thought this was bs, and it worked within 5 mins for two very tight knots. Cheers.

This video really helped!!! I had 3 small tight knots in my thin white gold chain and was desperate. I followed his video and got all of them out!!! So happy❤❤❤👍👍👍

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! 😃 The tweezers helped tremendously and I was finally able to get a persistent knot out of my favorite necklace!! Thank you!!

Thank you so much! I was Baptized into the Orthodox Church on Sunday, and I was given my first cross necklace. I woke this morning to find that the chain of my necklace had somehow got a knot in it! I was getting a bit frustrated and annoyed with myself, I had been trying to use a sewing needle to get it untangled but couldn't get it into the gap, but your suggestion of rolling the knot between the fingers to loosen it did the trick! You've saved me a trip to the jewellers, and probably a few quid too!

This absolutely works. I spent over an hour trying to use some surgical tools to untangle a chain for my wife with absolutely no progress. I watched this and had them untangled in 15 minutes.

This is the best technique. I untangled a big ball of knots from even more thin chain than the one shown in this video with the use of tweezers/pluckers. I was struggling for 3 days

[palfieisplaying]

I don't have those tools but you gave me the idea to use 2 thumb tacks (Push pins) and it WORKED. Thanks!

I had spent over an hour trying to untangle my necklace. I untangled most of it on my own but there were two ridiculously tiny knots left that I couldn't get out even after half an hour of dedication. I honestly thought it was a lost cause and that these methods wouldn't work, but I combined all of the methods and I finally FINALLY got it completely untangled. Thank you!

Thank you so much !! I was able to untangle my neclace.

[panickingATtheDSC]

My necklace had two different knots and this helped me fix it within 10 minutes. Thank you so much!!!

[mmoritz]

Just fixed a knot in a very tiny, delicate chain using the first method of tweezers and paper clip. Thank you!

[goddamnchill-]

Thank you so much sir! You just saved me from my mom's scolding @_@ I accidently tangled her necklace a few months ago, it's a good thing I found your video!

[kavithasajeev]

I can't believe that I untangled my chain just in seconds. Thank you for the awesome method

[nelly]
