Hello Cyndi,

    Having them restrung is probably a good route to go. When we have
    costume jewelry that has lingering offensive odors or heavy perfume,
    we seal them in a Ziploc bag with an open box of baking soda. 

    There's a special type of baking soda box that we love for this use.
    It has a type of flow-though "technology" in which panels on each
    side of the box come off. (There's a fabric sheet-like material that
    holds the baking soda in). That way, there's no worries about spills
    if the box/bag tip. 

    Then, when the box is "dead" it can be used to neutralize your
    pickle. 

Hope this helps some,
Tracy
