RH Chandelier
Comments (1)Low volume production and a lot of crystal. They can get expensive. Look up some Schonbek pricing and you will see. no idea if RH will have crystal and quality as good as Schonbek though. I have an older Schonbek 'Fantasia' chandelier that has moved through 4 houses now. I take it and its solid plaster medallion down before listing and store them....See MoreCan you spot an expensive chandelier?
Comments (26)Thank you, writersblock, for including my shop and pics in this forum! I'm flattered... Well, I've seen very pricey chandeliers that didn't look all that expensive, and rich chandeliers that weren't all that expensive (like mine!) As everyone pretty much mentioned, the quality of the crystal has everything to do with a chandelier. Austrian (Strass) crystals are the finest quality and carry a hefty price. Behoemian/Czech crystals are also fine quality, but Swarovski is noted for superior optical quality. If you look at My Gallery page in my shop, you will see a French Empire chandelier that I designed with Swarovski crystals in the Gold Teak color. While the beauty of the crystals on this fixture brought tears to my eyes (I become attached to the chandeliers I build :) ), the crystals alone cost over $1,000.00. I use a lot of vintage crystals in my fixtures, and have found that many of the prisms are on par with Swarovski ~ I believe it has much to do with lead content. Vintage prisms work well in my wind chimes designs, because they sound so beautiful (again, lead content and glass quality). I also use Italian and Czech crystals because they are good quality, they sparkle, they are durable, and they are affordable. I do use Swarovski crystals, but sparingly due to the price. Unless a client specifically requests Swarovski, the chandeliers I have custom built are dressed with European and Czech crystal. Whether you choose Schonbek, Crystorama, or a custom fixture from Sheri's Crystal Designs, you are getting a great chandelier!! Thanks for letting me chat here!!

Comments (3)Oh, that's so pretty. Is this the model that beautiful chandelier print is made with? Art.com carries it and you see it now on the decorating shows. A little more helpful:...See Moreseeds from china fake or real?
Comments (16)I bought some epiphyllum cactus seeds from aliexpress and planted them right away. The seedlings came out fast---they did sprout BUT they are not epiphyllum cactus. They look totally different from what the epiphyllum seedlings are supposed to look like but the seeds I bought from Aliexpress look very similar to the real one. I contacted the seller asking her what was going on and I have pictures to prove it. she played dumb. At first, she gave me her email address and said ok . After I sent her those fake seedling pictures and what really seedling pictures, she never answered my email. So I gave her a bad review. The 1st picture shows what the real epi seedlings look like and the 2nd one is from the seeds I bought from Aliexpress, they all came out something else. No money back of course. It is not all about money, I spent time and passion on it. Just waste your time and money on this website....See MoreJAN MOYER
