Thank you for your video. Can you tell me how to re-pin crystals that don’t have a straight hole? I have some beautiful prism lengths where the pin hole is bent or curved, it’s not straight through and I can’t get a new pin through that bent hole!! Thanks very much!!
I have this issue too! What did you do to fix it?
@@hosscrazy2 see above response.
I'm so sorry... I didn't receive a notification of your question and here we are a year later. You have to bend a pin into a large curve - almost like a suture and work it through a bit a time. I want to try to do a video soon.
What is the crystal name?... Can you please tell me, because I always buy fake acrylic beads.. Please let me know and where to buy. Thank you.
Freddy Z why don't people answer their CZcams videos? I've been trying to find them too. Tired of fake plastic crystals.
I apologize greatly. I don't remember receiving a notification of the comment. I will answer Freddy's question above.
The highest grades of crystal will say Swarovski. Asfour is another brand that isn't acrylic. Other than those 2 brands, there isn't a brand name to guarantee that you are purchasing crystal. Most crystals no longer have lead, so they feel a bit different than they used to feel. My best advice is to read descriptions thoroughly to make sure the quality is described and you see the words glass or crystal.
You can get Asfour on Amazon
Hi. Can you tell me what king of pin won’t get rusted or at least last longer . Thank you so much .
Hi Bill. The plain clips seem to be the hardiest. Though, there is no guarantee. Most pins are made of brass (to be pliable) and then plated if necessary, so the plating comes off or the brass turns. It is frustrating.
Thank you so much for getting back to me . I am subscribing to your channel right now. Best.
Hi, How many things need to make. Please mention the list as soon as possible, M waiting
I'm sorry. I don't understand your question.
can you please k9 crystal and s4 crystal
K9 is a type of Chinese hanging crystal - nice, refractive. But, these days "crystal" is all over the place in terms of description and ingredients, so I encourage you to take into account the attributes of the entire fixture and not just the label on the hanging components.
@@Chandeliercompany thank you sir
This type of pinning looks cheap
Which type? If you are talking about the bowtie, I agree.
@@Chandeliercompany yes
@@Chandeliercompany sorry I wasn't trying to be rude I just think the newer styles of pins look tacky and obscure the facets
Agree! Thank you for engaging!
@@Chandeliercompany I should make a video of the chandelier I'm restoring right now I got it relatively inexpensive on eBay it's a 1940's lightolier 5 light Bohemian Waterford cut crystal it seems to be rather high quality crystal. it looks identical to my Waterford glasses in fact.I was even able to locate the original brochure from manufacturer.
I've restored several other chandeliers before including one that I paid about $100 for on eBay a current model 6 arm Swarovski/schonbeck called Arlington . the Crystal on this vintage one is much finer quality than what they gave in the newer one it was only just a few large drops that are wood wheel polished and had sharp facets all the rest were just fire polished aka melted smooth no sparkle. I can't wait to get this one together I think it should look pretty amazing actually
