It appears to be glass, however I have not broken one so I cannot tell. They seem to heavy for plastic.

They are made of metal. We are very happy with ours they are sturdy and look very nice. In fact I am ordering more.

I purchased them a while back, and I'm confident they are crystal. I'm no expert, but if they were glass I would expect a seam, which they do not have. Also they are much heavier than what I would expect from glass. I'm satisfied with my purchase.

Hi David,The crystals are REAL. The quality of the chandelier is good and I would recommend this product. Be careful, I dropped one on my tile and it shattered!

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!

They are plastic. You put them together like plastic champagne glasses. Everyone loved them

They are glass, I don't think they are real crystal. The fixture is awesome, doesn't look cheap, great buy for the price!

I bought this quite awhile ago but as I recall it is a powder bot crystals. I used it for baking and it worked very well !

I have them packed away as I just moved, so I can't look at them. I honestly can't remember if they said anything about being real crystal. For the reasonable price, I would think not but they are REALLY nice! I am going to be getting a few more as they are really nice. My sister was surprised at how nice they were and wants to get some as well. I am VERY pleased with them!

I am not 100% sure. Some kind of metal. I absolutely love them. They are beautiful.

I am not sure if it is plastic or crystal; whatever it is a poor quality material. I got several crystals broken. There are no extra ones. It is a poor quality item and very much complicated to assemble. I don't recommend it for anyone.

I think they are glass except for the ball crystal in the center! That one is crystal! It's a beautiful chandelier though! I get many compliments!

It is not REAL crystal which is why I bought them, real crystal has toxic lead components which can lead to infertility in women, look it up, it's really sad. Rather, it's a proprietary crystal-like substance made by a French company to look and feel like real crystal without the dangerous lead. I LOVE these glasses and will only use them going forward, they are very luxurious and completely safe to use.

It's definitely not lead crystal, I am pretty sure its just molded glass. That said, its fairly cheap and looks aright.

Hi there! They are made of acrylic. Even so, they were higher qualilty than some other plastic faux crystals I've seen. I used them for my daughter's wedding and they were perfect!

I don't believe it is lead crystal, but it is quite thick crystal. I want to say it was made in Romania, but I can't remember for certain. Having not given you definite answers, I will say it is lovely! It is heavier than expected and the bees on the glass were a nice touch. Everyone that comes in my kitchen comments on how pretty it is. I am VERY pleased with the purchase, and if it should break tomorrow, I would be ordering another! Hope this helps.
