Accessories - what you can change when ordering the chandelier and lighting

1. Type and Quality of the Chandelier’s Pendants – See Custom-made Production
Chandeliers and lightings are supplied with high-quality pendants with high content of PbO, which in some cases exceeds even 30%. The addition of lead monoxide to glass significantly improves optical properties of the glass (index of refraction). To achieve the final optical effect, the pendants are manually cut and burnished.

2. Materials Used
Most chandeliers and lightings contain a high proportion of manual work. Leaded glass (leaded crystal) is further refined by painting, gilding, engraving and cutting.

A very interesting item is so called “transferred crystal“ which is made by laying thin layer of coloured glass in the furnace to bright and colourless leaded crystal. This two-surfaced raw material is to be refined further on by cutting and fine cutting of the coloured surface by using diamond discs. This process results in a stunning effect of contrast between glittering cut and coloured surface. The famous manufacturer of such products is for example Josefodol Glass Factory, see  http://www.caesar-crystal.cz
