Best Places to Find Replacement Premium Quality Crystals

I recommend two online stores to find premium crystals and quality glass crystals.

Grand Brass and Antique Lamp Supply have an extensive selection of crystals and accessories for different types of light fixtures. They offer machine cut glass prisms, colored prisms, crystal balls, chandelier metal clips and brass pins, crystal beads, crystal chains, octagon beads, and more all offered in various shapes and sizes.

They also offer premium crystals with the highest lead content. 

All of their crystals are new. So you won’t find vintage prims on these sites. If you’re in the market for vintage prisms, click here. You can see a video I made to show you the best way to find vintage prisms on Ebay and Etsy.

Antique Lamp Supply’s premium selection includes Strass-Swarovski and BrilliantCut full lead clear lamp crystals. To learn more about lead crystal, lead content, what makes these prisms premium in style and price, click here. Antique Lamp supply gives a great explanation and you can find out what lines of crystals they carry.

Grand Brass carries fewer premium crystals, however, they have a beautiful selection.

Best Places to Find Unique, Vintage Crystals

If you are in the market to buy vintage crystals or replacement parts at the best prices, eBay or Etsy may be your best route. Check out the video below where I show you how to shop for vintage crystals online at both places.

Ebay and Etsy offer great vintage crystals but be sure to check out the sellers profile and feedback before purchasing. You want to make sure you’re buying from a reputable seller.

Best Place to Find Economical Prisms and Crystals

If you want to replace glass prisms or accessories for your inexpensive chandeliers, lamps, or ceiling lights, the easiest way is to shop at Amazon. I think we all know by now Amazon is the “Everything Store” and yes, they have a large selection of affordable pieces. Understand though, you get what you pay for.

When buying chandelier prisms, read the description and make sure they’re are made of glass and not acrylic (unless acrylic works for you). 

If this purchase is solely for decoration and you don’t need to replace parts for your grandmother’s antique chandelier, Amazon could be the perfect solution for you. I just want you to know what you’re getting before you purchase.

Here are some of the more popular replacement parts available on Amazon:

Finding Crystal Replacements Near You

If online shopping is not your thing, you can find crystals parts- it might not be as easy as buying online, but you can find them. For brand new, best replacement crystals, you can search at your local hardware or home improvement store. You can also find them at lighting stores. If your local lighting store doesn’t have clear crystal prisms in stock, ask them if they can order some for you. Most times they can make the online order for you.

Other places to find vintage crystals and prisms are at yard sales, flea markets and you can always get your hands on some at your local antique stores. If you can’t find them while browsing the antique booths, you can ask the front desk. The person working will usually be able to point you in the right direction.

What is Full Lead Crystal?

We’ve talked a lot about crystal in this post. So what exactly is full lead crystal? The term “Full Lead Crystal” means glass that contains a minimum of 30% lead oxide.

Antique Lamp Supply carries two premium brands of clear full lead lamp crystals: Strass® and BrilliantCut®. Strass® Swarovski® Chandelier Crystals represent a product line crafted specifically for the chandelier market. STRASS® Swarovski® Crystal, boasting a lead content surpassing 30%, stands as the luxury brand most sought after by prominent crystal chandelier manufacturers and can be seen in elegant residences and renowned museums.

BrilliantCut® Chandelier Crystals are lamp crystals manufactured by precision machinery and meticulously cut. They contain in excess of 30% lead oxide in each piece, ensuring purity and exceptional brilliance. BrilliantCut® Chandelier Crystals offer outstanding quality, an exquisite appearance, and a superb finish, all at remarkably affordable prices.

To Sum It All Up

Finding the perfect replacement crystals and chandelier prisms for your light fixtures can be a simple task, whether you’re seeking premium quality, vintage charm, or budget-friendly options. The main part to the equation is, you have to know where to look.

If you’re in search of premium quality crystals with exceptional brilliance, Antique Lamp Supply is a top choice. They offer a wide selection of elegant crystal prisms, including Strass-Swarovski and BrilliantCut full lead clear lamp crystals, ensuring your chandelier radiates elegance, sophistication, and a touch of glamour.

For good quality and an extensive selection of crystal prisms at a little softer price, Grand Brass is a great choice for you.
