Two people are each on separate islands such that they are unable to transfer items amongst themselves. They each have a treasure chest, a lock, and a key that operates their lock and they have no other materials.

The treasure chest is hinged and there is a ring on the base part of the chest and a clasp on the lid of the chest that fits over the ring when the box is closed such that locks can be placed on the ring preventing the chest from opening.

One of the friends has a jewel, and he needs to get it to his friend on the other island. There is a pirate that will transport anything between the two islands, but he will keep anything that is valuable or useful to him. This means that he will keep any accessible keys, and accessible locks that are not locked, any jewels, and any treasure chests that are not locked.

How can the friend with the jewel get the jewel to his friend on the other island?
