How are Pendants made and the best place for them? (Courtesy of Crystorama)

Reminiscent of the classical chandeliers that graced the most elegant interiors, these Island Lights are detailed with ornate solid cast brass or hand forged iron by master craftsmen. Each piece is manufactured by hand into gentle curves and graceful scrolls. The elongated shape is perfectly proportioned for a Rectangular Table, Kitchen Island, or Billiard Table. The pendants are ideal for use over the table, or in multiples over a counter top. The intricate details are produced by the most skilled craftsmen using laborious castings and finish processes. The timeless designs make it appropriate for both traditional and contemporary interiors. 

 

The unique feel of paris flea chandeliers (Courtesy of Crystorama)

Design inspiration and name recognition comes from a city known worldwide for its unique and inventive style-Paris, France. One of its best known shopping experiences is found at the Paris Flea market, Le Puces de Paris Saint-Ouen. Located at the edge of the city, this delightful bazaar receives approximately 200,000 visitors every weekend. This is a special place where you will find treasures from the past - from magnificent copies to marvelous originals. Le Puces de Paris Saint-Ouen is sure to have what you‘re looking for, and Crystorama Lighting Group’s new Paris Flea collection was conceived with that idea in mind. The innovative compilation of color crystal drops and Murano color fruit draped onto wrought iron frames will turn any setting into a romantic one. Ordinary lighting becomes extraordinary when hand painted frames meet soft curves, highlighted by unique shades of crystal, creating illumination that’s sexy and practical. The enchanting combination of chic but affordable makes the Paris Flea Collection even more desirable. The look is ideal for a new generation of customers who want a casual chandelier for today’s interior spaces.

 

Guide To Crystorama Quality Crystal Chandeliers (Courtesy of Crystorama)

Types of Crystal  Crystal may be machine-cut, handcut or molded. A description of crystal types follows:        

(S)STRASS CRYSTAL :  Absolute perfection.

Considered the finest crystal in the world.  Strass is manufactured by Swarovski AG in the Austrian Alps. Strass is an optically pure crystal, clear as spring water,     totally free of flaws, unique in purity and brilliance. Strass crystal is characterized by razor-sharp cutting of facets with the lead content in excess of 30 percent. Cutting and polishing are done by machine to achieve perfect optical clarity. Strass crystals are treated with an invisible coating, which eliminates dust attraction and makes it easier to clean and maintain.        

(SAQ)SWAROVSKI CRYSTAL :  A beautiful value.

A passion for perfection has made Swarovski the world leader in the production of cut crystal. Swarovski & Co., manufacturer of Strass Crystal, has created a new alternative quality crystal. Swarovski has used advanced technology with olde world knowledge to produce a brilliant crystal with precision cutting and superior light reflection. This crystal type is designed for a crystal connoisseur demanding quality at an affordable price.        

(MWP)MAJESTIC WOOD POLISHED:  The choice of traditionalists.

Our majestic Wood Polished crystal is cut by hand in two stages on an iron and then a sandstone wheel.  Each crystal is then polished on a wood wheel with marble dust.  These methods go back centuries.  If you look closely you will notice faint traces of the wood-wheel attesting to the concentrated labor of the artisan.  This is a mark of authenticity. Each piece is a unique and original masterpiece.        

(I) ITALIAN CRYSTAL :  Venetian heritage.

Venetian crystal (from the glass-making regions in and around Venice ) is molded, not cut. You will notice a rounding of edges that comes from fire polishing. Molded crystal though never as brilliant as cut crystal, has a subtle charm and is an exceptional value. It is an ideal budget crystal for heavily dressed and/or commercially oriented chandeliers.        

 MURANO CRYSTAL : Imaginative form.

Each hand blown piece is an original work of art. No two crystals are alike. When color is added, the crystal takes on a whimsical form. It comes in a variety of shapes and sizes. Including fruit, spheres, tear-drops and flowers.
