If you are searching around for a perfect chandelier for your home, you may want to consider a natural chandelier style. While there are plenty of different chandelier options out there for you to choose from, it’s a good idea to select a chandelier that stand out and bring out the beauty of your home. One of the most beautiful of chandeliers out there are Capiz chandeliers.
You can get a Capiz chandelier only from the Philippians or Indonesia. It’s a chandelier that’s hand created from special Capiz shells. Capiz are special oyster like shells that can only be found in the Philippians and Indonesia. Then the shells are polished and placed together in chandeliers, lamps, and candle holders, the effect can be extraordinary. The shells themselves catch light in such a way that it’s downright dazzling to the eye.
The feeling you get from looking at Capiz chandeliers can be described as serene. It’s no surprise that these chandeliers are very popular with many people. The effect given off from a Capiz chandelier catching the light is almost therapeutic. In fact, if a bit of wind catches the chandelier, the shells will generate tinkering sounds as they rub against each other. This effect is nearly as serene as actually viewing the lustrous glow present when you look at a Capiz chandelier.
Now, there are plenty of fake Capiz chandeliers out there. So how can you tell the real deal from a fake? The most important way to determine whether you have a fake or not is to actually look at the price. A fake Capiz chandelier will only cost you a fraction of what a authentic Capiz chandelier will.
Real Capiz chandeliers are pretty expensive. The actual cost of the materials is fairly cheap, but the painstaking manual labour required to piece the shells together is substantial. Because of this, real Capiz chandeliers are expensive. Fake Capiz chandeliers will be made of plastic or non-Capiz shells. They won’t have the same pearl-like qualities that a real Capiz chandelier will posses.
Now when it comes to choosing a Capiz chandelier, you have several options. By far, the most common type of chandelier are the round or square chandeliers that have a metal skeleton on which the Capiz shells hang. There are more striking designs which have floral or lotus shapes consisting of decorative designs. The effect these give off can be dramatic, especially when the chandelier catches the light.
If you want to get a authentic Capiz chandelier, you should spend some time looking around on the internet. There are some authentic dealers that do sell legit Capiz furniture and accessories – but you are going to have to look around.
