Lead Crystal

• Some Shannon Crystal candlesticks are "lead crystal," which is a classification that indicates the glass contains a ratio of 24 percent lead. This allows the crystal to have a high quality of hardness and weight while retaining clarity, sparkle and brilliance according to Crystal Art USA. Without the lead component, crystal is merely clear glass.
  
  

Shannon Candlesticks

• One style of candlesticks found on Sierra Trading Post.com has a geometric Art Deco style to them with the post being a downward trapezoid on a square base and topped by a square with raised corner edges to hold the taper candle. These raised edges help to reflect the light of the candle and make your table scape look incredible.
