step2 step3

Cut a piece with 9 Cups of the 14 mm Necklace Cup Chain. The Cup Chain for necklaces is different from Bracelet Cup Chain.

Insert Cup Chain Connectors on both sides of the Cup Chain.

 

9 Cups of 14 mm Necklace Cup Chain makes 15 cm. The Jump Rings and Clasp are together 2 cm. This makes a total of 17 cm.

Then extract 17 cm from your neck length. Use this length to cut the chain.

For this example we have 45,7 cm - 17 cm = 28,7 cm.

Cut the chain in 2 exact same pieces (14,4 cm).

Connect the pieces of chain with Jump Rings to the Cup Chain.

Connect one end of the chain with a clasp, the other with a Jump Ring for the clasp to connect.

If needed you can add an extension chain.

 

The moment you have been waiting for!

Carefully embed the crystals in the Cups with the Nylon Jaw plier.

 

And there it is!

The "Super Sparkle Necklace" is also available as Kit. Personalize it with your favorite colours!

 

Extension chain

You can use an Extension Chain to make your project a perfect fit.

If you want to create a gift and you dont know the exact size, use an Extension Chain.

They come in the exact same platings as the Cup Chain.
