without loading your link, i'd say, 'how often are you going to clean them" because anything less often than once a week, spending more wont matter.

Swarovski is just a brand name and is lead free which is good for jewelry. For crystals in a chandelier I would go with lead crystals. As far as I am concerned Swarovski would be a down grade.

Is there a way to find out what the crystals in this chandelier are made of? I am buying online so want to make sure if will look "authentic"

It should say it in the description of the product. It it doesn't say I would just assume it is plain
cut glass.

I know you didn't ask, but I use this on my foyer crystal chandelier. Extend A Finish Chandelier Cleaner,I get it off of Amazon. I use it about 3 times a year and it works well. My foyer is 18 light and would near impossible to take apart to clean by hand.

yes, this is for our entry way which has high ceiling.

Sounds like these will look "real" enough?

Yes they will look real enough. The average person can't tell the difference between cut glass and leaded cut glass. Leaded glass just has a little more sparkle and is heaver. If you get sunlight on the cut glass it still will cast rainbows.

Just a head's up, some reviewers are saying the "crystals" look like plastic--and at that price point--they honestly could be 100% acrylic

Have you looked into finding a vintage crystal chandelier.

I find this manufacturer for sale on ebay. YOu have to fully assemble it. The reviews indicate it is quite a chore to assemble but that it is worth it. Therefore, if you buy it, and if it is crystal which it says it is(not lead crystal) I don't think upgrading to Svarovski is necessary nor practical. Schonbeck, is a very high end crystal chandelier company. You might look into their items or ...find one for resale. People are doing dumb things with vintage chandeliers....you can probably find one if you have patience...for Free or 10 dollars.

Lol ninigret. I had a crystal chandelier once, never again! I’m way too OCD for that.

i have a chandelier that used to be gas and came with the house (1870). once a year (october) i get out the stepladder and take down the crystals to wash and hang them again. i dont turn it on all summer, so i can get away with it. ish.

happily its quite plain, not too many crystals.
