Wondered how many fellow CTers have been handed a pile of jewellery which originally consisted of something shiny with a very fine shiny chain complete with a hook/clasp thing that is required to be worn very shortly....

I have tried a number of methods but still feel that there must be a simple way to sort out this situation.

How do you unravel or untangle the chain in this sort of situation?

A good sprinkling of baby powder works as a lubricant. Once untangled keep them that way by storing them in a drinking straw

Strange as normally a thread usually has over 10 pages discussing the predicament, then slating the OP for allowing such a predicament to happen, then a debate, sometime heated between posters on the best course of action.
