Sick of tangled necklaces, lost earrings and the frustration of not being able to do up bracelet catches on your own? You need to get your jewellery sorted with these super simple hacks – perfect for when you’re travelling or at home.  

Tangle free necklaces

For tangle-free necklaces, unclasp the chain, thread it through a drinking straw and reclasp. You can cut the straws to the desired size for different-sized chains. How easy is that?

Never lose an earring

You’ll never lose an earring or, just as annoying, an earring back again with this genius idea. Simply use buttons to hold your sleepers, hoops, studs, dangles and drops.
