Hello everyone:)
In this tutorial, we are proud to present Cup Chain’s new line of settings for gluing.
"The glue in settings"
are made in stamping metal technique. The material of these settings is high quality and made of durable metal - "TOMBAC."
These settings are built to fit perfectly to Swarovski crystals sizes and shapes. As the crystals seat inside the settings and it leaves a thin frame of metal around the stone, which highlights it's sparkles. This unique and natural look can be matched to many designs and styles.
You can find the new settings on Cup Chain website under "Glue in settings Collection."

1. With top loop - as a pendant.
2. With two side loops - as a connector.
3. Leverback earrings.
The settings come in Raw material, and you can choose any of Cup Chain's 21 metal plating colors (Antique Silver/ Brass/ Copper, Gold, Nickel, Rose Gold, Bronze, etc.). Of course, you can also find the matching crystals of any color and shape you prefer.
Usage & Ideas:
You can use the " Glue in settings" in many variations to create your DIY projects: earrings, necklaces, bracelets, etc...
Here are some cool and useful usage examples that you can easily implement on your jewelry line or just be inspired.
Tools & technical usage:
Gluing the crystals
There is no need for previous knowledge or any special tools to set the stones in the settings.
The only tools you need for proper usage is GLUE.
1. it is recommended to use "E-6000" or any other adhesive for gluing crystals (you can use the Swarovski glues). A minimal amount of cement will be enough to hold the stone in the setting - it is important not to put too much, cause the glue will spill sideways and after drying will leave marks on the crystals and look bad.
Note: It is recommended to allow the glue to completely dry and wear the jewel only after 24 hours past.
Connecting the settings
2. Set of 2 pliers - to open and close the jump rings.
Note: The settings specially designed to the faceted back shapes of the Swarovski crystals, and we recommend to use only original Swarovski crystals for the best match.
We hope that you will like our New line of settings for gluing.
Have fun creating:)
