It gets into the fine links of the chains and instantly reduces friction. It&#8217;s perfect for jewelry because it doesn&#8217;t stain or leave a greasy residue, and can be removed with a puff of air (or a little water).  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to proceed step by step<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s how we did it in the video:<\/p>\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Lay out the necklace<\/strong>: Place it on a dark surface (this way you&#8217;ll see the talcum powder and the links better).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dust the knot: Pour a pinch of talcum powder directly onto the tangle. Make sure it gets in between the loops. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Handle the knot: <\/strong>Using two pins (or simply your fingers, as shown in the reel), gently massage the knot. You&#8217;ll see the chains begin to slide away from each other as if by magic. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Final cleaning: <\/strong>Once melted, shake the necklace or run it under warm water to remove any remaining dust.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Expert advice<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p>This technique is ideal for thin chains or Venetian-style links that tend to create very tight knots. If the jewelry is gold or silver, talcum powder is completely safe and won&#8217;t scratch the surface. <\/p>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Did you save your necklace?<\/strong> <\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p> I hope this trick saves you time and patience! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Do you have an &#8220;impossible&#8221; knot?<\/strong> Bring it to our lab in Milan and we&#8217;ll take care of it!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n<p> If you want to discover other secrets on how to care for your jewelry, follow me here on the blog or on Instagram<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DFfXrXGMzsD\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@gioiellimoda.adreani.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who hasn&#8217;t experienced this?
