| Description : | HANGING LAMP CRYSTALS: (Cut glass prisms or drops) For hanging lamp 984.22.01. - 61. The crystals are attached to the small circles with holes on rings 984.22.12 and 17. The top crystal is an octagon. The front of this crystal is an eight sided cone, formed by 8 diamond shaped cuts in the glass. A triangle is formed between the points of the diamonds and the octagon. The back of the crystal has eight tetragons cut into it which form a flat octagon at their top edges, rather than another cone. The bottom crystal is tear drop shaped. The long part of the tear drop is made of eight enlongated pentagons. The point of the tear drop is made from three rings of diamond shaped cuts in the crystal. There are 8 diamond shaped cuts made in each ring. The first and second rows have basically equilateral diamonds, while the diamonds cut in the last row are elongated on lower two sides to form the point of the tear drop. The top crystal has two holes drilled through it from front to back, near the top and bottom of the crystal. The top hole has a gold coloured wire hook through it which attaches the crystal to either ring 984.22.12 or.17. The end of the wire is flattened into a cicle to hold the wire in place. The lower hole has a similar wire through it, which is wound around wire attached to the bottom crystal. The bottom crystal has a hole drilled in it from side to top not side to side. There is a piece of gold coloured wire through the hole. The end of the wire is flattened to prevent the wire from slipping through the side hole. The top end is wound around the wire from the lower half of the small crystal, joining the two crystals together. MEASUREMENTS: Some variation in the size of the crystals occurs. Top crystal - 1.5cm x 1.5xm x 0.9cm. Lower crystal - 7.6cm x 1.3cm x 4.3cm circumference. |
