Are the crystals made of real glass or plastic?

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.

The sticks, which are the part of the ornament, are made of glass. But all the rest is plastic.

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!

It's plastic. They look absolutely beautiful lit up at night. I get lots of compliments on them. (I got two)

Their was roughly 3ft of chain and crystals feel plastic to me but not sure! It is beautiful! I used it in a bedroom and that is the first thing you notice.

I would say they are glass but a very nice glass - elegant - reflects the light. Unless you are ordering "Waterford" or a similar named brand crystal maker - most stemware is a type of glass and doesn't usually meet the exact requirements of crystal.

They are not crystal, but are very break-resistant due to being made with titanium. We use them for red and white wine. They are sort of a universal shape. We love these glasses!

I am not sure, i think crystals are not real, but they look good. I mean, you can see in some cases colors thru them and realy nice shadows and paterns in walls

The crystals are glass, not cut glass. This is an elegant piece and well worth the money. I use 3 nite lite bulbs because there is no shade to filter the light. I love it!!

Hi,They are glass, but, very, very basic. I purchased them for a casual party and I am now inclined to just give them away or toss them out. They are not special. I differ in the previous person's assessment of the glasses. Of course, I love Baccarat crystal glasses so I am probably being on fair in comparing apples to oranges. So you may want to consider your needs. For a simple casual party, they were nicer than plastic BUT not too much better than that.

They are glass and very shiney I was worried they would be plastic like, but they are very shiney and glass. I have a very decorative living room and I am very proud to have them in there. I dont think you will be sorry. They exceeded my expectation.

The ones I bought for my mother are clear. I wouldn't describe them as crystal but they are beautiful and very finely made. I have some in the Dragonfly pattern and my sister has the Versailles in wine, water and carafe.They can also be put in the dishwasher but make sure they don't touch each other. I chipped the rim of one of mine that way.

The crystals are glass. They are good looking and nicely faceted. They are not hand cut leaded crystal, but at the price this fixture looks great. I use a lower wattage build in a cool tone and that really makes it look it's best. Get it you'll be happy with it.

It absolutely seems like glass to me. If it is plastic, I can't tell the difference. I'm not going to throw it to find out though. :)

They look like they could be plastic glasses, but they aren't. The set we have is all glass. They are very nice glasses and they have no issues in the dishwasher.

They are made of glass though it is fairly thin and fragile. Also the pipettes aren't actual pipettes but rather just stirrers.

it is real crystal. It is worth every penny! I highly recommend this! You will not be sorry
