Crystal Lighting 101
For centuries, the crystal chandelier has been a symbol of elegance, class, and status. 
Named for the Greek word for ice, "krystallos," crystal lighting possesses an ethereal beauty that has enchanted mankind throughout the ages.
Crystal lighting dates back to the Sixteenth Century, when gem cutters in Milan began cutting rock crystal (clear quartz) into pendants, rosettes and drops to adorn the metal chandeliers that were prominent at the time. The gilt metal crystal chandelier decorated with rock crystal soon became the epitome of luxury, a must-have for Europe's most illustrious palaces and chateaus.
Although many crystal lighting styles, like the Empire crystal chandelier, are still quite prominent today, crystal lighting has evolved to include many applications and highly modern styles. Heavy crystal chandeliers can overpower smaller spaces, but thanks to the emergence of crystal ceiling lights, mini chandeliers and sconces, anyone can add the sparkle and pizzazz of crystal to their homes.
Crystal lighting is a timeless choice, adding glamour and visual interest to any space! It is also more affordable than ever, so browse our collection of crystal lighting today to find the perfect piece for you.
