This is a beautiful and easy to install....however, I am having trouble with the crystals. Do they hang with monofilament, which is not included???

They come with a small metal clip which waa in an envelope in the box. However I didn't think they were secure so I used a medium silver wire so they hung freely

I had the same concern when we received it. If you received a group of small circular wires, you can snake them through the crystals. It works much like a small key chain.

product came with wire rings to attach crystals. call co. they will send to you.

Yes they do. Mine were not included in box either. I contacted seller and they mailed them to me. I had them in 2 days.

No, there were tiny rings they hang from. You don't even see them. That's how fine they are in size.

I think it will do just fine. It is a very bright piece - those 144 crystals reflect a lot of light!If you decide to use it you'll have fun attaching them!

i am not sure, but this was one of the hardest things to assemble, and many strings were already broken on arrival. they did not string any crystals like the other chandelier i bought on amazon from another dealer, and no lamps were included as they were in the other one..i had to go buy 9 halogen lamps...they did send me replacements for the broken stuff, but i didnt feel the quality was as good. it stll came out looking nice but after many hours of work and repair..if i am allowed i can give you the name of the other company that the chandelier was at least strung in baggies and included lamps and all attachments needed for the ceiling

Hi Heather, I bought two chandeliers - one was an acrylic looks like crystal (but wasn't) for our new remodel of the bathroom (I got my steam shower! yay! lol). the other was the venetian all crystal one. I was disappoinmtedf to find an arm broken on it and I didn't want to bother mailing iut back - myada , yada, yada so I took the extra baubles and stuck them on the plastic one for added glitz (yes, I'm gay - LOL). Anyway, I thought I threw out the bulbs along with the broken chandelier but I saved one. It is the size of bulb, found at LOwe's and HOme Depot, that is the size larger than the smallest screw part of the bulbs they sell for chandeliers.I believe the brand is SYLVANIA Double Life 40 watt (get a dimmer or buy the size of the bulb in a lower watt or even low LED. I hope you find them. Call me if you need more info 951-218-2890

As far as I know, as of the build of the unit I found in the bin, the crystals were made of glass, including the long round tubes between the little crystals. Very fragile. I kind of wish they did make those out of plastic. Don't know about current production. You might contact the manufacturer for more current information.

You should have got 3 bags (ABC) of the strings with small crystals. The strings attach to the main unit by the clip on top end (It can be bit challenging to clip to the little loops, as they are loose and move, but really rather simple just be patient). The one A string, with 4 small crystals goes in the middle. I would recommend putting all the strings on the main unit first, then put the bigger crystals once you get it up, connected & secured to ceiling. As a side note, when connecting the electric, this unit has a connector that requires tiny flat screw driver to tighten the incoming wires. Of the B strings (3 small crystals), one is connected to smaller wire with 2 clips - this one goes across the "single" light of the 3 (connector loop on each side), then put the others filling the middle, leaving The C strings, with only 2 small crystals go along the outer perimeter. It is easier to hold and secure the unit to the ceiling with just the strings without all the larger crystals as they add weight, and awkward - can bang around. Once the unit is secured the big crystals are easy to connect with the pins that come in another bag. Stick the smooth part of pin into hole on top all the way until head end of pin stops, then bend it up (like an L)& once more over (like a C), slide top part of pin into the loop of each string, then bend it down (top part will be upside down V). Can use needle nose pliers but pretty easy to bend with fingers. center the crystals, once hanging, by simply adjusting the bend. It does seem very daunting at first even with the directions which seemed confusing and difficult to follow, but once you get the strings to the unit in right sequence, then pretty much home free. Good luck and enjoy. It is very nice effect.

You have to wait until fixture is attached to the ceiling before attaching the crystal balls. Otherwise, they will get tangled and it will be hard to access the screws.

We installed this fixture directly to a 3 1/2" round electrical box, on a smooth drywalled ceiling. The ceiling plate is about 4 1/4" accross and covered the cut out in the drywall nicely and we did not require a medallion. My husband is a building contractor, and he said that the instructions are a little vague and that hanging the crystals was a challenge, total time took about three hours, mostly the crystals ( not easy for chunky fingers ) make sure the crystals are facing the right direction when you hook them in the fixture.We have it in our spare bedroom, really sets the room off nicely.

Yes, there is nothing put together but it's simple or easy to figure out. I didn't put all the crystals on mine and it still looks good.

The crystals are cut glass and quite sparkly. Some reviewers noted that they were plastic, but mine were glass. Once again, use caution when you assemble this light fixture because it has very sharp edges!

I am not sure but it sounds like you are holding the pressure on the crystal too long. Before I try to attach the crystals I try to experiment with a couple on a similar fabric to get the feel. One thing I really like is using the special sticky paper and make my design then I have a small mangler and heat the whole picture on which also prevents the crystal from melting. Oh by the way, if you use the sticky paper make sure you have something in between the garment or you will glue the front and back together, happened to me. Good luck.

I really love these crystals. You can use them alone with just water, but I don't care for that. The best way is to use them with some sort of soap or cleanser. The cleanser provides a perfect amount of slip for them to do the best job.

It comes with the frame separate from the crystals. The frame is light (c. 20 lbs) so hanging it isn't too hard. Then after you put the 200+ crystals on it gets really heavy and weighs close to 150 lbs.

They are clear. We have this in our bedroom, and it is very stunning. It takes quite a while to assemble because the directions are so poor. My husband put the top ring upside down, so I had to order some extra prisms to fill in. Be careful with that. The Gallery was extremely responsive to the extra orders placed. They didn't charge us anything extra even when I explained that it was our fault and not theirs. I think you'll be pleased with this chandelier.

Mine actually came with BOTH enough of the ball crystals shown in the photo AND the teardrop shaped crystals shown on the product at the link below to fully populate the entire lamp with either type. I ended up doing a mix.. Balls on the top and bottom and the teardrops in the middle, which I like. Not sure if that was a mistake to send both - but that is what I ended up receiving.

The crystals I got with the iron are not Swarovski. I happened to also order Swarovski's at the same time. The Swarovski's were much easier to work with, and did not fall off of the material. I wouldn't use the ones that came with. That being said, see if the larger crystals match up with any of the tips that came with the iron. The size is written on the side of the tip. Good luck.

Its supposed to dangle. Both my lights only came with one hole per crystal.
