What are crystal chandeliers?

What are crystal chandeliers you ask? Well, to answer your question, a crystal chandelier is a specific type of chandelier that is based on crystals and glass. The typical crystal chandelier is known to have a body that is made out of iron, steel or nay other strong metal that will be able to balance the weight of the glass and the crystals. Also, the metal is molded into hooks on many sides, typically 8-15 sides. On each side is a frame that is made out of either glass or crystal. If glass is used, the glass is curved and cut so that it looks like a crystal and gives the impression that it is one of the many crystal chandeliers. The typical crystal chandelier may also contain accessories such as brittle and fragile thin glass structures that are hanging out of the wholes or holders that the chandelier allots to them.
