2. The crystal chandelier to choose and buy

Cutting accuracy: The accuracy of crystal cutting is directly proportional to the refraction result of the crystal. The cutting should be accurate and symmetrical so that the crystal can reflect a dazzling color.

Purity: The higher the purity of the crystal, there are no cracks, bubbles, water ripples and impurities in the crystal, and the appearance should be crystal clear, which can better reflect the effect of light.

Polishing: Serious and strict polishing process can make the crystal cut surface smooth and sparkling bright, and enhance the reflection effect of the cut surface.

Lead content: For high-quality crystal products, the lead oxide content should not be less than 30%, in order to better emit bright colors.

Pendant hole: The hole of the crystal chandelier pendant should not have sharp edges, wear, and different sizes, so as not to affect the surface effect of the crystal chandelier.

3. Identification method

During the formation process of natural crystal, affected by environmental factors, some impurities will be contained. Observing the sun, you can see faint uniform and fine horizontal stripes or catkin-like substances, while fake crystals are mostly smelted with inferior crystal ballast and glass ballast. It is imitated by polishing and coloring, and there are no uniform stripes and catkin-like substances. Natural crystals are cold and feel cold and cool to the touch, while fake crystals do not have a cool feeling. Natural crystals are placed upright in the sun, and no matter from which angle they are viewed, they can emit beautiful brilliance, while fake crystals cannot. Natural crystals have high hardness, and scratches with hard objects will not leave marks, while fake crystals will leave scratches. Rotate the crystal 360 degrees under the polarizer, the natural crystal will appear bright or dark, and the fake crystal will not change. Check under transmitted light with a 10x magnifying glass, if bubbles are found, it is a fake crystal.
