Frequently Asked Questions
How do I identify a replacement chandelier crystal?
Compare the shape, total length, widest point, color and number of holes. Photographs beside a ruler can also help document the prism accurately.
Should chandelier crystals be measured in inches or millimeters?
Millimeters provide the most precise measurement and are commonly used for crystal components. Convert to inches only when needed for comparison.
What is the difference between one-hole and two-hole prisms?
One-hole prisms typically hang as individual drops or end pieces. Two-hole prisms can connect above and below, which is useful for chandelier chains and garlands.
Can I mix clear and colored crystals on a chandelier?
Yes. Colored prisms can create accents while clear crystals maintain a traditional look. Keep shapes, sizes and spacing balanced for a coordinated design.
Can chandelier crystals be used as suncatchers?
Yes. Faceted prisms can reflect rainbow light in a sunny window. Use secure hanging hardware and position the crystal away from impact, children, pets and extreme heat.
