How to Detangle Layering Necklaces
An important aspect of knowing how to layer necklaces, is how to keep them from tangling. This knowledge will help you to keep your pieces looking flawless throughout the day. Necklaces that are different in length are less likely to tangle than those that are similar, so opting for a range in sizes is the best option. Ensuring each chain is free of tangles and knots before wearing is also essential.
If your necklaces do become tangled however, we suggest laying them on a flat surface and using a straight item, such as a needle to help undo the knots gently. You can also use this technique to untangle stacking bracelets too.
