Rhinestone cup chain by the foot and banding by the 10-meter roll. Most of our cup chain is Preciosa: Czech crystal stones set in a flexible chain of metal cups, in silver or gold tone and sizes from SS6.5 (about 2 mm) to SS18. We also carry plastic rhinestone banding with crystal AB stones in colored bands.

Cup chain can be sewn, glued or used as jewelry chain: sew by machine with a zigzag slightly wider than the chain, and finish cut ends for jewelry with cup chain endings.
