You will be making the geometric pyramid focal in this project by opening and closing the tiny jump rings that are in between the bar links in your chain.
  1. Begin by watching the video on How to Make a Geometric Pyramid using Bar Chain.
  2. Cut a 24" length of gold plated bar chain using your flush cutters.
  3. Open a gold plated jump ring and slide it onto the last link on one side of the chain and close.
  4. Open another jump ring and slide it onto the last link on the other side of your chain. Also slide on the loop from your gold plated sleek lobster clasp and close.
  5. Create your geometric bar chain pyramid focal by following what you learned in the video and attach it onto your chain length via an open jump ring.
