Description
The Alexandra is a 50cm crystal chandelier with nine E14 bulb fittings arranged across two tiers, suspended from a gold-finished metal frame with cascading crystal droplets. The upper tier houses three bulbs within a crowned crystal ring, while the lower tier distributes six bulbs around a larger 50cm-diameter crystal band. Precision-cut crystal prisms, spheres and rectangular drops hang in layered curtains from both tiers, refracting light across walls and ceilings when the chandelier is lit.
Designed for dining rooms, entrance halls and living rooms with ceiling heights of 2.7m or above, the Alexandra provides both ambient light through the nine bulbs and decorative sparkle from the crystal. The adjustable drop of 790-2200mm allows the chandelier to be positioned 700-900mm above a dining table or set higher in a double-height hallway. The gold frame finish softens the reflections and pairs well with warm-toned interiors, traditional settings and transitional rooms mixing classical and contemporary elements.
Each crystal element is individually hung on the gold frame, creating movement and light refraction from different angles as air currents shift the droplets. The combined weight of 12.7kg — mostly from the crystal — gives the chandelier substantial presence without requiring reinforced ceiling fixings beyond a standard ceiling rose rated for the load. The nine E14 fittings accept candle-style bulbs up to 60W each (sold separately), with dimmer compatibility dependent on the bulb type chosen.
The Alexandra is part of Diyas Lighting's crystal chandelier collection, manufactured with machine-cut optical crystal rather than hand-cut lead crystal. This keeps the price accessible while maintaining clarity and refraction quality. The gold finish is applied as a powder coat onto the metal frame, providing corrosion resistance and colour consistency across the fixture.

Frequently Asked
What bulbs does it take?
The chandelier takes nine E14 candle-style bulbs up to 60W each. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with warm-white LED candle bulbs between 4-6W and 2700K-3000K for a warm glow that complements the gold finish.
Is it dimmable?
Yes, provided you fit dimmable bulbs and pair them with a compatible dimmer switch. LED bulbs require LED-rated dimmers; older incandescent dimmers may cause flickering with LED lamps.
What ceiling height is needed?
The 790mm minimum drop suits rooms with ceiling heights of 2.7m or above when hung over a dining table. For entrance halls or living rooms where the chandelier hangs in open space rather than above furniture, ceiling heights of 3m or more work better to avoid head clearance issues.
How is the crystal cleaned?
Switch off the power and allow bulbs to cool. Wipe each crystal droplet with a dry microfibre cloth. For more thorough cleaning, individual crystals can be removed from their hooks, washed in warm water with a drop of washing-up liquid, rinsed and dried before re-hanging. Avoid soaking the metal frame or using abrasive cleaners on the gold finish.
