Honest opinions about how to buy Appliances and Lighting.

Fad or Fashion

You are looking at the Schonbek line of modern crystal called Geometrix. In my opinion, this was the brilliant introduction in the history of lighting. Geometrix basically thrust Schonbek into the contemporary market for crystal, which was huge.

And guess what, Swaroski, the huge crystal company, purchased Schonbek soon thereafter. Unfortunately, lighting can be traditional or a fashion item.

Have a look...





How would you feel if you were the owner Swaroski crsytal right about now...For the people buying pendants, consider this a cautionary tale.

    God, these are awful looking. They look like they were pulled from a trailer park in the '70s.

    Can you guess?


    Look is still tremendously popular in upscale restaurants and trendy homes, so thats a mighty expensive trailer park
