Vintage Faceted Crystal Chandelier Prism Drop – 4½"

Description :
This salvaged faceted crystal chandelier prism drop features a classic teardrop form designed to hang from traditional ceiling chandeliers. The piece includes a smaller octagonal connector crystal attached with a metal wire pin, allowing it to hang freely and refract light from surrounding bulbs. The faceted cut glass creates reflective starburst patterns when illuminated, adding sparkle and visual depth to lighting fixtures. Pieces like this were commonly used on mid-century brass or crystal chandeliers and are ideal for restoration work or decorative reuse in lighting projects, sun catchers, or ornamental displays. This set includes four large matching prisms measuring approximately 2 1/8" wide by 4 1/2" long.
