All About Our Crystal: Cleaning, Quality and Cut
Knowledge is key to understanding the full value and genuine appreciation of a fine crystal chandelier. Crystal, a valued treasure, is part of history and legend. The Romans believed that the fire and sparkle in a crystal jewel reflected the flame and romance of constant love. In early central Europe, crystals were added to chandeliers to help increase the intensity of the candlelight as it reflected off the surface of the crystal. Crystorama’s crystal chandeliers grace historical palaces and museums throughout the world. Once reserved for royalty, crystal chandeliers can now grace your modern-day interiors.
Since 1958, we have sourced and imported the best quality crystal from around the world. Our unique resources have allowed us to remain a dominant producer of top-quality crystal, brass, and wrought iron chandeliers.
Today’s crystal chandeliers use advanced technology combined with old world knowledge to produce brilliant crystal with precision cutting and superior light refraction. The design and manufacturing of crystal chandeliers require years of experience and specialized craftsmanship.
Unlike the mass-productions offered elsewhere, we offer traditional chandeliers created by specialized craftsmen with years of experience.
Every crystal is carefully inspected and hand-strung by a skilled technician.
Taking care of your chandeliers
Our chandeliers are designed to last a lifetime – and longer. No matter your budget, we understand that when you purchase lighting, you are making an investment in your home. Once you have installed your lighting in your home, it is important that you care for it properly.
We recommend using a damp chamois cloth or a feather duster to remove the dust from your chandeliers. Just add your lights to your weekly dusting routine.
To keep the crystals of your chandelier sparkling, we recommend non-abrasive crystal chandelier cleaner. Despite what you may read on the Internet, DO NOT clean crystal in a dishwasher. The finish on the metal clips used to attach the crystals to the frame will be ruined, and your crystals may be damaged.
Our chandeliers and lights do not require maintenance beyond regular, general cleaning. With proper care, your Crystorama chandelier will become tomorrow’s antique.

The sparkle and brilliance of the light refraction from the crystal accents continues to make these chandeliers a popular choice. Each fixture will become a family heirloom to love and treasure and pass on to future generations.
