Choosing a crystal chandelier

If you are looking for a foolproof method to add character, sophistication, and illumination to your home, consider the beauty of chandeliers! Different chandelier will bring you different experience. A traditional chandelier might add a classic vintage charm to your dining area, while a modern chandelier with a silver finish might contribute a hip, industrial appeal.
A crystal chandelier is usually made of a metal skeleton with gold or chrome polished finishes. Of course other types of finish options are available like French Gold, Silver, or bronze finish, these are not as costly as the gold plated ones but offer a more antique finish look for the chandeliers.
Lead crystal is basically molten sand mixed with lead. The sand makes glass whilst the lead adds the sparkle that we associate with lead crystal glass. The more lead that is added to the mix, the higher the quality of the crystal. It is widely recognized that 24% lead content and over gives the best quality crystal. Once produced the crystals are then faceted like a diamond so that they maximize the rainbow effect that the light produces when it shines through.

Louis XIV is believed to be the first person to use crystal lighting in his palace at Versailles in the 14th century. He commissioned the first large drop chandeliers made from solid gold surrounded by masses of heavy lead crystal.

The weight of the crystal can be considerable. Higher quality crystal is considerably heavier that crystal of a lower quality. On larger crystal fittings the crystal can account for 75% of its weight, amounting to 20Kg or more.
