    Quick Project Steps

    Start with Small Jump Rings: Link five small jump rings to form a chain, then connect them into a circle using a sixth ring.
    Form the Bead Chamber: Ensure three of the rings lie flat, with the others standing up. Connect the standing rings with new small rings.
    Create the Tunnel: Use large rings to connect sets of small rings, forming a tunnel structure.
    Inserting the Crystal: Place a crystal cube with a corner facing down into the tunnel, then secure it with large rings.
    Secure the Crystal: Close the large rings over the crystal with a small ring to snugly secure the bead.
    Repeat the Pattern: Continue adding sets of rings and crystals until the bracelet reaches the desired length.
