Less work, but a great effect. With these chandeliers glass jewels you simply glue the faceted glass stones afterwards.
First, choose a transparent interesting glass, such as here for example the Bullseye 4200-00F from the Mardi Gras series. From this glass, solder the candle holder completely ready. After patinating and after final cleaning, glue on the glass blocks.
I recommend Tec7 transparent - or other glue suitable for glass.
