Antique nine crystal chain with ball and hook on a waxed black cotton cord
Chain of 8 fully faceted, graduating antique octagon crystals with original brass pins, and ball with hook hanging from a 1 mm brown leather cord. The chain tapers to a feather pin hook
9 inches (23 cm) length, 1 inch (25 mm) wide, .5 inch (13 mm) depth
This crystal chain and the other crystals offered in our store are from an accumulation of fixtures and loose elements that became a collection. They were hand selected from flea markets, antique stores, and tags sales over many years. Each is hand-cut, hand-blown, or molded into vessels created to refract, reflect, bend, and separate light into its constituent colors. As prisms they are ephemeral, esoteric, and almost mystical as objects.
Crystal is a type of glass that contains lead oxide, making them more dense, more refractive, and sparkle a lot more than glass. The lead also makes them heavier, and more delicate. As is typical with antiques, many have accumulated dings, and small chips over the years - not just the crystals, but also the pins, if there are pins.
