Retired - Pyrite Spike Earrings

Note: Components and tools listed within this INSTRUCTIONS box and the printer-friendly PDF, if available, may have been discontinued since this project was published. Refer to the PURCHASE COMPONENTS and TOOLS AND OTHER SUPPLIES sections for current availability.

1. Begin by finding one of the cut ends on your pyrite chain and cut away the link that's been cut through. Keep in mind that this might take a couple of connected dangles with it.
2. Measure 2" and find the closest joint in the chain. Then cut away the next link, ensuring that you cut only the next link and not the last link in your 2" piece.
3. Use a pair of chain nose pliers to open the loop on your gold plated earring hook, how you would a jump ring.
4. Slide on one end of the chain by the loop at the end of the first link. Close the earring loop.
5. Next, using your chain nose pliers, open a gold plated jump ring, slide on the loop from one antiqued gold spike charm. Attach the jump ring onto one of the top loops of chain and close.
6. Repeat this process and attach five more spike charms via their open jump rings. Space out the charms equally. See photo for placement assistance.
7. You're done!
