6. During the last 10 minutes, keep a good eye on the kiln so the pendant does not over fuse.

7. Finish the pendant by polishing the jump ring. (There will be a small amount of fire scale on the jump ring after firing.)

One item to consider is that if you use Dichroic glass that you can see through, you will see the jump ring. So, you might want to just use Dichroic glass that has black on the back. If you want to get fancier designs on your pendants, try layering Dichroic or putting pieces together to cover the black piece as if you were putting together a puzzle. These look great if you want to just add them to a chain or create a whole necklace design around them.
