Here is another method for preventing chains from getting knotted in the tumbler (which is the WORST) from @helen_feliz_kiwi - “I used a safety pin that came with a sweater I recently purchased. (These similar pins have also been included when I have purchased finished chain in multiples) All I did was “thread” the pin through the chain links about every inch or so, and then connected it at the end to itself...with the main pendant in my case. I tumbled it for the duration needed, and to my pleasant surprise, when I had to “detangle”, when I undid the pin,  it came undone without any issues!  You can only imagine my elation!! Well, right away I thought others should know of such a wonderfully simple solution.” Thank you so much Helen! We’ve shown other variations, what I love about this is you connected the pin to the bail of the necklace and how quick it is to take the pin on and off. Just want to acknowledge how grateful I am to all of you for sending your tips, sharing your experiences, talking with one another in the comments and asking awesome questions. THANK YOU! 🙏🙌😘🔥#metalsmithsociety #jewelrytipoftheday #jewelrytumblertip #jewelrytools #polishingchain
