3. I am building my house, when should I place my order?
We recommend you order your chandelier as early as possible if you have decided which models you like if you are working with a deadline. We do our best to deliver your chandeliers within the lead time, but sometimes we have delays due to our suppliers or shipping companies which are out of our control. If your order is ready before your house is finished, we can hold it for you until you are ready, which will guarantee that you will receive it on time.

6. Can I customize my chandelier?
Since we have our own factory, one of our biggest advantages over our competitors is the fact that we can customize almost all of our models according to your specifications. We can change the finish, size, or the number of lights. These capabilities are sometime needed when selecting that perfect fixture for your project. For example, If you see a chandelier that you like, but prefer a different finish, just pick a model that has the finish you like from our Catalog or Web site and we will apply that finish for you.
Please remember that Custom Made chandeliers are not covered under our 30 Days Money Back Guarantee.

7. What size of a chandelier do I need?
The size of the chandelier does depend on the style as well as the location it will be hanging. The width, length, and height of the location play an important roll when determining the proportional size for the fixture. Other variables such as table size for dining rooms or window sizes for foyers also help when determining the size. Please give us a call and we will be glad to assist you in determining a proper size for your chandelier.

8. When will I get my chandelier after placing my order?
It depends on the chandelier style and whether if we have it in stock or not. If it is not a crystal chandelier and if we have it in stock, we can ship your order in a few days. If it is a crystal chandelier and if we have it in stock, we need to make the crystal strands for it which takes about one week to 10 days and then we can ship your chandelier. If we do not have it in stock, we need to get it from our factory in Spain which takes about 6 to 8 weeks depending on the style of the chandelier. We do our best to ship your chandelier within the lead time but some times there are delays due to parts not arriving on time to our factory from the suppliers which we have no control. If you are working on a project or have a closing date for your house, we would recommend ordering your chandelier as early as possible. When your chandelier is ready to be shipped we will call you to verify your shipping address and let you know that your order will be shipped on a certain date. Once we ship your order, we will contact you and give you the tracking number for you to follow up on.

9. How are they shipped?
We take the utmost care to ship your chandeliers as safely as possible. We wrap your chandeliers with protective packaging and use protective cushions so that when they arrive to you, they will be in perfect condition. If your chandelier is less then 24" in diameter and not very fragile, we will ship it by FedEx ground. If it is a big or very fragile chandelier, we will ship it using a trucking company. We secure the box/es containing the fixture to a pallet, minimizing the possibility that it will be turned upside down during shipping. We insure all of our chandeliers against damage. If damage occurs during shipping, we will send you either the replacement part or the complete chandelier as soon as possible without any charge. Some of the trucking companies do not deliver all the way inside your house due to Liability Insurance. We strongly recommend someone to be in your house during delivery. We will give you the toll free number of the trucking company when we ship your chandelier so that you can contact them with your tracking number and find out when they will deliver it. If you run into any problems, please give us a call immediately and we will contact the Trucking Company to resolve any problems you might have.

10. Is Assembly Required?
We try to ship your chandeliers as complete as possible to give you the least amount of work to be done. If your chandelier is small and not very fragile, we ship it completely assembled. If it is a large chandelier or a fragile chandelier like the Traditional styles, we have to ship it in a few parts for safe transportation. The assembly of the chandeliers is very easy and and will come with easy to follow instructions. If it is a crystal chandelier, the crystal strands will be prepared and ready to hang on the chandelier. The instructions sheet shows where to hang each crystal string on the chandelier. If you have any questions during the assembly, you can always give us a call for assistance. Following are links to sample instruction sheets to give you an idea.

12. Do I need an Electrician to install my chandelier?
Our chandeliers come with easy to follow instructions and the electrical installation is similar to installing any other lighting fixture or ceiling fan. We do recommend an Electrician to do the electrical installation. Some of our customers hire an electrician to install the frame of the chandelier on their ceiling and then dress the crystals themselves.

13. How do I clean my chandelier?
If your chandelier does not have a lot of crystals, we recommend a soft damp cloth without any solvents to clean your chandelier. If you have a chandelier with many crystals, we would recommend a chandelier cleaner like "Sparkle Plenty" which is sold in Hardware or Lighting Stores. To use a spray cleaner, all that you will need to do is put a towel under the chandelier, turn the lights off and spray the whole chandelier with the cleaner until the cleaner freely drips off the crystals. Then let your chandelier dry. Once it is dry, turn your lights back on and it is done. Be sure to apply this cleaning process once a month to avoid heavy build up of dust.

The majority of our chandeliers are manufactured in our factory in Valencia SPAIN which is world renowned for the quality of their lighting fixtures.

16. Do you have a showroom?
We specialize on Catalog and Online sales of lighting fixtures and have a very wide customer base ranging all over the world. Our percentage of local sales is very small compared to our online sales which makes it unnecessary to have a big showroom.

18. What is Alabaster?
Alabaster is a natural translucent stone similar to marble but much softer. It is mined in the north of Spain and since it is a natural stone, each piece has to be manufactured by hand using special carving tools and lathes. The resulting product is a beautiful marble like stone that transforms light into a soft ambiance. Since it is a natural stone, it has marble like veins and each piece is unique which shows its authenticity.

19. Do you do commercial and hospitality projects?
We have been doing commercial and hospitality projects for over 14 years and since we have our own factory for chandeliers, one of our biggest advantage against our competitors is the fact that we can customize almost any one of our models according to your specifications or create a unique chandelier from your drawings. One of our recent projects completed is The White House Presidential Conference Center where we had to replicate an antique chandelier and redesign it in multiple tiers for a total of 12 chandeliers ranging in different sizes. We also made custom chandeliers for world famous celebrities like Oprah Winfrey and Rush Limbaugh. Please visit our Projects page for a listing of some of our Projects.

26. Is shipping cost included in your prices?
One of our main objectives is to give our customers the best quality at the best price. Shipping is definitely a cost and we do not think that it is fair to increase our prices a certain percentage and charge everybody the same price by including shipping in our prices because some customers live 50 miles away from us and some live 2000 miles away. For us, the best solution is to give our customers the best shipping rate depending on where they live and the size of their chandelier. This way nobody gets over or under charged. To inquire about a shipping cost please call us at 877-499-6753 and we will be able to provide you with cost to you location.
