To demonstrate the exceptional quality of our chandeliers, here is a brief description of how they are made:
The majority of our chandeliers are made in our own factory in Valencia, Spain. The Murano chandeliers are made in Italy. The base material is very important in the quality of a chandelier. We prefer brass because it has excellent casting, polishing and electro-plating properties. We only use steel in our chandeliers where strength is needed or it is impossible to use brass.
In the first step, brass is processed to make the parts of the chandelier. It is either cast by using molds that are hand made from high strength steel or stamped and spinned by hand in special lathes.

The second process is to give brass the perfect smooth finish, which is also done by hand using polishing machines. This is a very important process, which requires expertise and technique.
The third process is to give these parts the desired finish by using various methods. They include 24Kt. Gold Plating and chemical baths and patinas for antique finishes.
To achieve high quality, these processes have to be controlled and monitored very carefully. For example, in electroplating, the chemical balance of the plating solutions and their temperatures are very crucial, a slight change can result in defective finishes.

Electroplating and Lacquering of Parts

Assembling of Chandeliers

The fourth process is lacquering the finished parts. As you may know, brass will tarnish if not protected from outside effects. To keep the beauty of the chandelier, it has to be lacquered. The lacquer we use is specially formulated for our chandeliers. It is very strong and all the parts have to be cured in special ovens afterwards so that they will have a very tough, clear coat that will protect the beauty of our chandeliers for many years.
Once the parts for the chandeliers are finished, they go through our quality inspection to make sure that they are in perfect shape. Afterwards, they are assembled to complete the chandelier.
All the electrical components and wiring in our chandeliers are U.L. approved. We can modify the electrical components of our chandeliers to fit the voltage requirements (220V) of your country at no extra charge. Once the chandelier is completed, it is packed very carefully to make sure that it will not be damaged during shipping. We ship all of our chandeliers insured to protect our customers against any damage.
We have been shipping chandeliers all over the world, Japan, Australia, South America etc. We have contracts with major shipping companies that guarantees us excellent rates.
