There's nothing more frustrating than finding your favorite necklace at the bottom of your jewelry box in a tangled heap. Or you notice that your beloved bracelet has lost its shine. But do not worry. Here are five hacks to make sure you never have a jewelry crisis again.
Untie your favorite necklace with baby powder
Try not to untie the knot and get the baby powder right away instead. Place your necklace on a clean plate, sprinkle baby powder on the knot and the knot will loosen up a lot and can be untangled with a needle. Don't forget to rinse it in warm water and mild soap before drying.
Save money and clean your silver by using products from your kitchen
Forget silver polish or go to a jeweler. Instead, you'll get that sparkle back in your jewelry with items from your kitchen. Take a ceramic bowl and place aluminum foil in it with the shiny side up. Then fill the bowl with water, a teaspoon of baking soda, a teaspoon of salt and a splash of white vinegar. Then place the silver in the mixture for five minutes. This recipe will bring the shine back to your jewelry. Do not use this method for silver jewelry with precious stones as it may damage it.
This is how you fasten a bracelet when no one is around to help
Just tightening the clasp onto a bracelet can be very frustrating – just when you're about to tackle it, one end slips off your wrist and you have to start all over. Well, not anymore. Use a paper clip to fasten your bracelet quickly and easily. Simply put the clip through the circle and close it together with your other hand. Easy!
How to prevent your jewelry from getting tangled when you travel
Preventing your necklace or bracelet from getting tangled during your trip can be very difficult. However, you can prevent tangles by threading your jewelry through a straw and closing the closure.
Prevent long hair from getting caught in your chain buckle
Having long hair that is constantly tied up in a necklace is annoying. All you need to do to stop this is buy a small piece of aquarium tubing from a pet store, cut a bit to cover the buckle, then slide it onto the chain and cover the buckle once it's fastened.
