Rustic Elegance (Chandeliers, Jewelry and More....)

Crystal chandeliers add a touch of grandness and elegance to any space.  When juxtaposed with more rustic elements it makes for a wonderful, glamorous and chic composition.  It's a combination that I find especially appealing.  


An ornate crystal chandelier hangs above detailed antique furntiure to create a space with old world charm.

Numerous and varied crystal chandeliers dangle above a rustic farmhouse table.  A trend in outdoor weddings, crystal chandeliers sparkle in this rural setting.

Surrounded by vintage furniture with an alluring distressed patina, the crystal chandelier creates an eye-catching focal point and heightens the luxurious vibe.

This vintage chandelier mixes rustic and elegance by pairing antique brass and a multitude of faceted crystal teardrops.

Another striking example of rustic elegance is the handcrafted jewelry I recently found at Olivia Clare Designs in Hawaii.  If you can't go to Hawaii, you can order online @ OliviaClareDesigns.com.  I would call it "rustic chic" as they combine crystal (and other stones) using handcrafted techniques to give it that unique one-of-a-kind character.  They are currently having a free give-away so please go to their website to view their stunning creations.
