Style and glitter with crystal bras

A wall lamp is a wall lamp with a switch used for local lighting. Typically, these devices are placed on the wall near the mirror, coffee table and other interior items. Being always in sight, they are not only sources of light, but also part of the interior of the room. If you want to bring the atmosphere of luster and aristocracy to your home, then your choice is crystal sconces with a special style and brilliance.

Crystal is a type of glass, the basis of which is the charge. It consists of sand and potassium carbonate with lead. It is lead oxide that gives this glass durability, transparency and unique brilliance for which it is so appreciated.

Instead of zinc oxide, quartz can be added to the mixture. In this case, a rhinestone is formed.You can also use barium. For the manufacture of Bohemian crystal use potassium-calcium mixture.

Crystal sconces with colored pendants look very original. Color change is obtained by adding the following elements:

• silicon is used to produce pink;
• blue color is obtained using cobalt;
• cadmium, gold is added to create a red tint;
• copper oxide gives a green color;
• manganese oxide - violet;

The color can be changed by applying a film on the surface of the product. At the same time, the shade will be brighter and more brilliant. But the most valuable type of crystal is black. It is produced by treating natural rock crystal.

The production process consists of several stages:

• Melting the mixture in furnaces at 1500 ° C.
• A small amount of melted crystal is placed on the edge of the vitreous tube and the desired shape is blown out with a rubberized pear.
• Next, the product is sent to the furnace for annealing to cool it.
• Passing quality control.
• Diamond cut, polished with chemical compounds.
• Quality control.

Crystal bras will fit harmoniously into any interior, but they will look most successful in these styles:

• Classic style. If we talk about standard classics, then this is the spirit of minimalism, endurance and antiquity. As for the Baroque and Rococo, these are elaborate products with various ornaments, stucco and a multi-level structure. Such sconces are ideal for living room or office.
• Modern This smooth lines and restraint in color. Lamps of this kind look spectacular and stylish. Typical representatives are sconces in black and white with crystal elements.

• High tech. Modern style. Wall lights are made of the most fashionable materials, they differ in unusual forms. At the same time, they look calm and strict, they have moving parts.
• Industrial style. This is the spaciousness and scale of the space, the rudeness and style of the interior. For this situation fit small crystal sconces, which will not be evident from the aisle.Such a contrast in the interior will look impressive enough, if not to overdo it in details.

Fashion does not stand still, and the design of crystal lamps is also subject to it. If earlier the preference was given to the elements of a correct, streamlined shape, then now beveled corners and asymmetry are in fashion. But there are classic types that are relevant in all ages: these are products with pendants in the form of oak leaf, crystal, raindrops. A good option - pendants with balls.

It should say a few words about light bulbs that are used for crystal lighting:

• Incandescent bulbs and halogen bulbs are very hot, so their use is not very rational;
• luminescent: they gain brightness for a long time;
• LED: fit as well as possible: provide bright, soft lighting, thanks to which your crystal "will play" even more profitable.
