10 Exceptionally Stunning, Beautifully Designed, and Devastatingly Expensive Crystal Chandeliers

10 Exceptionally Stunning, Beautifully Designed, and Devastatingly Expensive Crystal Chandeliers

We all want our homes to look as stunning as possible. One way to do this is to include a beautiful chandelier. Most of today’s chandeliers are made of inexpensive plastic, but there are still some companies out there selling real crystal and brass models for the average homeowner. You’ll have to take out your checkbook though – these stunning beauties don’t come cheap.

$1,195.00 – The Madison

The cheapest crystal chandelier comes in at nearly $1,200. It’s not overly elaborate, but the emphasis is on the 12 various candles on the fixture. The chandelier is 32” wide by 35” long.

$1,295.00 – The Adele

For $100 more, you can upgrade to the Adele. It has 4 less lights, saving you on your electricity bill, but it attracts major attention with its massive amount of crystals. The pendants on this chandelier are made in the Czech Republic.

$1,950.00 – The Alexandria

At just under $2,000, the Alexandria is the next step up from the Adele. More crystals and 12 beautiful candle lights adorn this beautiful fixture. It’s perfect for an 8-foot ceiling dining room.

$2,590.00 – The Monroe

Whereas the previous three chandeliers are upgrades of each other, the Monroe is in a completely different category altogether. Pure silver adorns this chandelier designed for low-height ceilings. It has 8 beautiful candle lights, each surrounded by a stunning glass prism for protection.

$2,876.00 – The Empress

The evolved form of the Alexandria, the Empress is truly a sight to behold. Originally debuting in 1945, the Empress is a massive chandelier with 12 candles and a perfect wavy design, making it the ideal attraction for your home’s foyer.

$3,495.00 – The Coventry

Now we move onto the next level of chandelier quality. The cheapest chandelier on the hand-polished lacquered brass level is the Coventry. A truly old-fashioned piece of beauty, the Coventry combines long crystals with a gold-like appearance to captivate its viewers’ attention.

$3,995.00 – The Windsor

The final evolved form of the Madison, which is also the upgrade to the Empress, is a massive 50” long chandelier that’s probably best suited for ceilings in excess of 9 feet in height. It’s a silver masterpiece that will truly impress even the most detail-oriented person, but at $4,000, not many people will be able to afford it.

$4,595.00 – The Beauregard

The Beauregard places more emphasis on design rather than on number of lights. Even with only 6 candles, the fixture has so many crystals that the illumination from the candle lights easily reflects off them to brighten up any room.

$6,680.00 – The Gatsby

The evolved version of the Coventry costs nearly twice as much, but has a visual appearance fit for a king or queen. Sporting 4 lights on its upper level and 8 on its lower level, it is truly a sight to behold with its brass finish making for a unique gold-like appearance. Place this chandelier in your living room and your neighbors will think you just won the lottery!

$9,950.00 – The Baron

Finally, the Baron comes in as the most expensive chandelier on this list, nearing the $10,000 mark! This colossal giant will hang down at least 62 inches from your ceiling, so you’d best make sure your ceiling is a 10-footer or you’ll be banging your head a lot when you try to walk underneath it. The chandelier itself is a historic replica fit for a palace. The glass bells at the top of the fixture add in a nice finishing touch to the chandelier, reminding us of the past, yet looking elegant enough for the future.

Yes beautiful and too expensive. I’m glad I never had a taste for them for I tend to fallow earthy Caribbean styles.
