I have to admit that for many years I thought cup chain was rather tacky. I suppose that’s because overused cheaply made rhinestone cup chain can be tacky. 😀
However I started to see it being used in beautiful and tasteful ways in jewelry and found myself intrigued, like how Suhana Hart uses cup chain in these earrings.
So I picked some up for myself and used it for the first time in my Hammered Bangle Bracelet video tutorial. After that I was in love.
I still definitely prefer a nicer quality cup chain using crystal stones, but can see many, many possibilities for projects in the future.
All of the cup chain I show in the video I got at EurekaCrystalBeads.com, but you can also find cup chain on Amazon, although not in the same variety of finishes or colors.

Enjoy the video and happy creating!

How about that? I’ve seen those but never knew their name. Sweet!
Yup, not just “that sparkly, blingy stuff.” 😉
