Which Metal Finish Should You Choose?

On our crystal armed chandeliers, you have the finish choice of brass or nickel.  The brass is a slightly shiny brass (not orange) and the nickel is a polished nickel. Why shiny metals?  It matches the shine of the crystal. What parts are metal?  

• Small supportive pieces under the crystal frame pieces.
• The pinning in the crystal.  Usually this pinning will match the metal finish of your chandelier; however, there are occasions when we use nickel pinning on a brass finish because it blends with the crystal best.  
• The chain and ceiling hardware.
• The wire that runs through the arms and to the ceiling is gold to match the brass choice or clear to match the nickel choice.
