Crystal is clear glass worked and processed to a high degree of brilliance and optical purity. Each crystal is an exceptional piece worthy of being appreciated for its decorative value. A piece’s value depends on the quality of its raw material and its size. Crystals come in multiple shapes and colours and can be machine or hand cut into a variety of geometric shapes.
Crystal pendants come in a variety of shapes and sizes. A pendant’s lead content, shape, size and facet inclination have a pronounced effect on light diffusion. Here are the available shapes:
Machine-cut crystals have sharp edges, refract light more efficiently and lend more brightness and personality to a room. For their part, hand-cut crystals offer a more classic look.

For the last few years, it’s been possible to add colour to crystal prisms. Although fully transparent crystal chandeliers produce an extraordinary, reflective effect, they are a thing of the past! Why not update your chandelier by adding some blue or pink prism to match your décor? Or, for simpler, traditional lighting, you could opt for topaz-coloured prisms, which will go a long way to warm up your room’s ambience.

To maintain your crystal chandelier’s shine for many years to come, you must clean it regularly. Several methods exists to clean all the parts of your crystal chandelier. First, though, you must cut power to it using the power switch and also remove the fuse or turn off the breaker in your electrical panel. Once this is done, place a towel or blanket under your chandelier to protect your floor or table as well as the light fixture itself, which could break or get damaged if it falls to the ground. The towel will also absorb any water that runs off during the cleaning process. You may also want to refer to the chandelier’s diagram that indicates the position of the crystals. This way, if you have to remove a chandelier part to clean it, you can put it back in the right place.
The first cleaning method should be done monthly or when the chandelier looks dusty or milky. The method consists in removing the dust with a feather duster or a dry cloth. By doing this every few months, you’ll need to perform a deep cleaning less often.This brings us to the second cleaning method, which is a thorough cleaning since it involves removing and cleaning the chandelier’s crystals one at a time. It’s very important to have a towel under the chandelier in this case. To maintain the crystals shine, wash each crystal gently with a cloth soaked in a solution of warm water and mild detergent. Then, rinse the crystal piece in a bowl of warm water and wipe with a soft, clean cloth. Replace the clean crystal on the chandelier. It’s important to remove the pendants to avoid damaging the frame.
Recommended cleaning frequency varies according to the location, type and shape of the crystal chandeliers and its ornaments. The surface of the rhinestone-type crystals manufactured over the last ten years is designed to repel dust, while hand-cut crystals are dust magnets. Thankfully, they are very easy to clean because of their bigger size and flat shape. Some Schonbek products are dishwasher safe if placed in the top basket!
