What are prisms?
Chandelier crystals are made of glass and only high quality glass bars are used for making prisms. The bars are prepared in glass furnace and then pressed into different designs like drops, ball and almond. Each prism passes a strict quality check and only highly polished and error-free prisms are selected for use on lamps.
It is the manufacturing of the beautiful chandelier crystals that determine their quality. Every piece of glass gets hand treatment. It gets a definite shape in a manual mold and then it is cut and polished with hands. And when the polishing is complete, the prism goes through experienced eyes of designers. The designers determine quality of the prism and decide whether to use it or scrap it.
Prisms are needed for refreshing and redesigning lamps. When a lamp comes for redesigning, the designer either removes prisms from the lamp or adds new pieces. Designers keep prisms for refreshing and redesigning old model lamps.
