How do I date chandelier crystals?
1 Answer
To date chandelier crystals, hold them up to the light and look for acid marks. If you find one, use an authoritative online resource to research the mark and identify the manufacturer. You can then estimate the age based on the style of the crystal. If you can't find a mark, take the crystal to a licensed appraiser for a professional evaluation.
