# Title: Crystal Chandeliers


## Description: People buy crystal chandeliers for what they do to the light, not for the frame holding it. Cut facets split the beam and throw points across the ceiling and the walls, so a lit fixture occupies far more of a room than its measured diameter suggests. This page lists every OroDwell design with crystal in its material specification. How to choose crystal chandeliers The bulb decides how much refraction you actually get. A clear bulb with a visible filament gives the facets a small bright source to break up, which is what produces the scattered points on the ceiling. A frosted or opal bulb spreads the source across a wider area, and the crystal has far less to work with. Anyone disappointed by a crystal fixture has usually put the wrong bulb in it. Wattage counts as much as bulb type, since an underpowered source gives the facets little to split and the effect flattens across the room. Then look at how the crystal is arranged. Long strands and beaded drapes catch light along their length and read soft from a distance. Cut teardrops and prisms hold defined edges and throw sharper points. Faceted balls sit somewhere between the two. The frame carrying them, whether a ring, a tiered basket or a linear bar, decides how the fixture reads when it is switched off. Count the arms as well, because a wide frame reads lighter than a compact one carrying the same number of drops. Weight and access come last and matter most after installation. Crystal adds real mass, so the figure on the product page needs checking against the ceiling box already in place. Access matters because the effect depends on clean facets, and a fixture over a stairwell or a fixed table is one you will clean less often than you intend. Frame finish sits under all of it, and chrome or nickel disappears behind the drops while brass warms every piece hanging from it. Bulb choice and cleaning for crystal chandeliers These are the working details that keep the refraction doing its job through the first few years. Bulb: clear glass, warm at 2700K, in the wattage the specification names. Dusting: a dry microfiber cloth or a soft brush every month or two. Full clean: twice a year, with a cloth wrung out in warm water, drying each piece as you go. Access: measure the ladder reach before hanging one above a stairwell. Weight: check the stated figure against the box and bracket already installed. The cleaning routine sounds like a chore and takes less time than expected once the fixture is reachable. Work around the frame in one direction so no section gets missed, and support each drop rather than pulling on it. Skip ammonia based sprays, which cloud some coated finishes on the frame and leave streaks on the facets that catch the light in exactly the wrong way. Which crystal frame for which ceiling Frame type Best in What it does Price here Rings and tiers A living room, a wide dining room Layers of cut edges catching light at two heights $360 to $2,840 Round and oval A round table, a square room An even scatter of points in every direction $580 to $2,000 Rectangular and linear A long dining table, an island Coverage down a table a round frame leaves dark $1,489 to $3,849 Flush and low ceiling A bedroom, a corridor, a low ceiling Cut glass with nothing hanging in the way $160 to $1,510 Cascading stairwell frames A stairwell, a double height entry A column of points read from two floors at once $350 to $2,500 Colored and shaded crystal A room with a strong color already Tinted or shaded crystal instead of clear sparkle $249 to $2,540 Terms used here K9 crystal The optical glass named on many pages here. It is cut and polished rather than molded, which is what gives the sharp facets and the clean refraction. It is a glass, not a mined stone, and it is heavier than acrylic of the same size. E14 candelabra socket The narrow screw fitting used on most arms in this range. A slim lamp disappears behind the cut glass, which is the point. Use clear bulbs rather than frosted, since a frosted lamp kills the sparkle these frames are built for. G9 capsule A small pin lamp pushed into two holes rather than screwed in. A good part of this page uses it because a capsule hides inside a crystal element. Keep spares, as a large frame runs many of them at once. Flush mount A frame fitted against the ceiling instead of hanging. A large share of this page is built that way, which is the reason a crystal fixture can go in a bedroom or a corridor with a standard ceiling height. Dimmable on request Many frames here ship without dimming but can be built for it, decided before the order leaves. Those taking replaceable bulbs can also be dimmed with a dimmable lamp and a matching wall control instead. Questions about crystal light fixtures Which bulb brings out the sparkle? A clear bulb with a small visible filament. The compact bright source is what the facets break into points across the room. Frosted and opal bulbs spread the source and flatten the effect, so keep those for fixtures with fabric or glass shades instead. How often does crystal need cleaning? A dust every month or two and a proper wipe twice a year keeps the refraction working. Dust settles on the upper faces first and dulls the effect long before the fixture looks dirty from below, which is why the calendar beats waiting for it to look bad. Is the material real crystal or glass? It varies by design, and the material specification on each product page says which. Both refract. Cut leaded crystal has more facets and a higher refractive index, while pressed glass carries less weight and reads softer. Check the specification rather than the photograph. What size works over a dining table? Between one half and two thirds of the table width, hung 30 to 36 inches above the tabletop. A crystal frame reads visually lighter than a solid one of the same diameter, so the upper end of that range is usually comfortable rather than overpowering. Does dimming suit a faceted fixture? It does, where the specification allows it. Refraction holds up well at lower output, so dimming suits this style, but the driver or the bulb has to support it. Check the product page against the wall control already installed before buying either one. Also worth a look: Brass Chandeliers, Rattan Chandeliers, Alabaster Chandeliers, Wood Chandeliers and Kitchen Chandeliers. Everything in this category sits under Chandeliers. The heaviest and most worked pieces are gathered at Luxury Lighting. Can I install a crystal chandelier myself? A crystal frame is hardwired, so the work is the same as any ceiling fixture plus the weight. The ceiling box has to be rated for the load, and a standard box is not. Many of the larger frames on this page carry 14 to 36 lamps and their crystal arms add weight well beyond what a light fitting box is built for, which means a fan rated box or a brace fixed to the joists. The crystal is normally shipped separately and hung arm by arm once the frame is up, so the fixture goes on the ceiling light and then gets dressed. Installation is not included and is not quoted here. How much does a crystal chandelier cost on this page? This page runs from $160 to $2,500, with the middle near $620. Nine in ten sit below $1,070. The price tracks the number of lamps and the amount of cut crystal on the frame more than anything else. What is the best cleaner for crystal chandeliers? Warm water with a drop of dish soap on a lint free cloth, with the power off and the fixture cool. Spraying a cleaner at a lit or warm fixture is what cracks drops. Ammonia and alcohol based glass sprays can dull a coated finish on the metal arms, so keep liquid off the frame and dry each drop rather than letting it air dry, which is what leaves the spotting people mistake for dust.
