- For this necklace, I have used a pyramid bead but turned it the other way so that I was able to add a tassel to it. I have used hammered chain for both the tassel and the necklace so that it sparkles when it catches the light. From the top of the bead to the end of the tassel is 3 1/2" and it hangs on 30" of chain - so it is very long!!
