There are many dazzling crystal components that will draw attention to your style. Cynthia paired cup chain with crystals and Square Rings for a unique, dangling look.

Step-by-Step Instructions Expand All Steps

Cut a length of rhodium-plated cup chain with 1088 PP24 Crystals approximately 1 1/2 inches long.

Attach a rhodium-plated crimp end to the last crystal on each end of the cup chain.

Finishing Rhinestone Chain Tutorial

Attach the 14mm Square Ring in Crystal AB to one end of the cup chain using a silver-plated 8mm jump ring.

Attach the TierraCast antique silver-plated pewter faceted diamond earring post to the other end of the cup chain using a sterling silver 4.60mm open jump ring.

Repeat steps one through four to make the other earring. You can also try showcasing different Square Rings, like the Crystal Bermuda Blue color Cynthia uses in the Artbeads Cafe episode.
