Product Description

A spiral cascade chandelier built from rows of clear crystal prism rods that step down in a tiered, faceted spiral from a slim brass canopy. Each rod catches and refracts light from the hidden E14 bulbs at the core, scattering soft sparkles across the surrounding walls and ceiling. Three sizes from 24 to 39 diameter (6, 12, or 21 lights). Sized for formal dining rooms, entry foyers, and stairwell drops.

Installation note read before ordering the Large size

The 39 (21-light) version is a substantial fixture with hundreds of crystal rods. To prevent fall hazards and crystal damage:

• Mount only on a concrete ceiling or reinforced structural beam with heavy-duty expansion bolts.
• Two-person install required never attempt to hang the large size single-handed.
• Licensed electrician strongly recommended for the wiring and final balance check.

Crystal handling

Crystal rods are individually hung and ship in dedicated foam-cushioned packaging. Inspect each rod before installing if any cracked in transit, set them aside and email us with photos for free replacements. Wear cotton gloves during install: fingerprints on uncoated crystal are visible and require glass cleaner to remove.

Faceted crystal prism rods

Hand-cut clear crystal rods, each polished to refract the warm light from the hidden core.

Tiered spiral cascade

Crystal rods descend in a multi-tier spiral the geometry reflects light from every angle, not just below.

3 sizes, 621 lights

24, 31, or 39 diameter. Scales from intimate dining room to grand foyer.

Size & light count

24 (6 lights) 31 (12 lights) 39 (21 lights). All sizes use E14 sockets.

Hang height

20 chain included. Longer chains available on request specify ceiling height when ordering.

• Crystal rods are pre-attached to the frame and ship in protective packaging minimal field assembly required for the Small and Medium sizes. Large size: 2-person install recommended.
• E14 candelabra bulbs sold separately. Recommended: 2700K warm-white LED, 40W equivalent. Edison-style or "candle flame" LED bulbs work well aesthetically since the bulbs are partly visible behind the crystal.
• Indoor dry locations only. Clean crystal rods with a soft microfiber cloth or glass cleaner sprayed on the cloth (never on the fixture). Use cotton gloves to avoid fingerprints.

A brinicle (brine icicle) is a saltwater ice formation that descends from sea ice the spiral cascade of crystal rods echoes that shape. We chose the name because it captures the way the rods appear to fall from a single point in a faceted spiral.

For a 56 ft dining table or compact foyer: 24 (Small, 6 lights). For 68 ft tables or open entry: 31 (Medium, 12 lights). For grand foyers, two-story drops, or formal dining rooms with 10+ ft ceilings: 39 (Large, 21 lights). The Large requires reinforced ceiling support.

Real hand-cut crystal glass, polished and faceted. Crystal weight is part of why the Large size requires reinforced mounting. Acrylic rods would be lighter but flatten the light refraction we use only glass for proper sparkle.

LED for daily use (cool to the touch, 30,000+ hours, lower energy). Halogen for occasional formal use if you prefer the warmer color signature on crystal. Both fit E14 candelabra base. 2700K warm white reads as honey gold through the crystal; 4000K reads more clinical and silver.

Inspect each rod before installing. If any arrived cracked or chipped, email [email protected] with photos within 7 days of receipt we ship replacement rods free of charge. We keep matching crystal rods in stock for 3 years after your order.
