Origin of The Tin Cup Necklace

The "Tin Cup" necklace is also referred to as a floating pearl or station necklace. This design consists of pearls (or beads) spaced out at regular intervals on a chain/necklace.

The term "Tin Cup" to describe this type of necklace originated from the 1996 film by the same name.  In this movie, the lead actress Renee Russo is seen wearing this design, which is now considered a classic.

The 1996 film that forever dubbed floating pearl necklaces "Tin Cup".

So, for a twist on the original, I have made my own Tin Cup design, featuring fishing lures and pearls...
