Gemia 6 - Light Dimmable Classic / Traditional Chandelier

Love this chandelier! It’s not overpowering, but just the right statement piece. Really easy to put up. I am ordering amber lights. I think it will give it a nice touch. Super classy and sophisticated.

I am a chandelier lover! This is my 3rd from Wayfair. For those who want some honest truth, I will break down Pros and Cons! But first: Look at how this completely changes the look/feel of the room! (Before/After pic.) UPDATE: Purchased soft gold-tone Edison bulbs and OMG!!! BEAUTIFUL!!! The *only* reason this is a "4" is the lack of clear directions (leading to much frustration). This is a product that appears to be intended for electricians more so than the average home-improvement consumer. TLDR: Instructions are nominal! Lay out the entire chandelier hardware on a counter or table (except for the crystals). "Assemble" the wiring all the way up through the tubes and loops (and thread the wire through the chain, if you need it) so you know in which order they go. DO NOT just grab the piece with the wires and try to install that! Patience is a virtue! For a veteran chandelier installer, this joker took me 5-hours (mostly because of the ceiling box, and then getting pieces in the wrong order!) Learn from my mistakes :) Pros: 1. The crystals are already strung! If you have ever spent hours on stringing, you know the benefits that this product has with providing the crystals all strung and very well labeled! 2. The crystals are actually white/clear (not amber/smoky as some of the product photos appear). I call this a "pro" because I am a traditional white-crystal chandelier lover. 3. Bulbs are installed upside down (compared to a traditional chandelier). I put this in the "pro" category because I hung mine in a bathroom - it will be more difficult for the bulb sockets to be corroded by steam or condensation falling into the sockets. 4. Very easy to string the crystals - instructions are very clear for this step, and the crystals are very clearly labeled. No complicated stringing from one unmarked location to another unmarked location. This step was the easiest for this chandelier; whereas, this is generally one of the more difficult steps for other similar products. 5. This is the first chandelier I have gotten that came with a cotton glove! Just one, but if you wanted to protect the finish, there is a glove in the carton. I opted not to use it during assembly, but did use it to wipe everything down when I was done. 6. Easily adjustable length. As you can see from the photo, mine does not have the chain. One link from the chain end is all that is needed (to attach the bell). I simply unscrewed the first link and removed the rest of the chain from it. 7. I just love the golden/brass/antique hardware! Now the "Cons" 1. Historically, chandeliers do not come with comprehensive assembly/hanging/wiring instructions and this one was no different! (The hanging plate was too small for my ceiling wiring box and I needed to improvise. I ended up using the bracket from the old fixture along with the hook/plate for the chandelier and got it securely fastened. Be prepared to be flexible, modify installation to your needs, and take your time! 2. No different from any other chandelier, but beginners would benefit from this detail: Despite being pre-strung, attaching the crystals to their loops on the fixture is time-consuming and somewhat painful - brace yourself for working about an hour, on a ladder, above your head. 24-hrs later, my fingers are still sore! 3. If you are not well-versed in electrical, you may want to hire it hung. The wire coating is "clear", and the neutral is barely recognizable because the color of the print blends into the color of the wire inside the clear coating. That took me a good minute! (PRO: the ground is pre-installed on the frame, so that one is a piece of cake!) 4. The screws that secure the caps to the rods: do NOT fully remove them! I cant get mine back in. My ceiling cap is currently held in place with tape until I can effort out a solution to the mess I got myself into! I spent about 45-mins arguing with that tiny little screw and it wasn't having any of it. Also: they are two different sizes, so save yourself the frustration and just loosen enough to slide the caps in place, but do not fully remove them! 5. The bulbs are an atypical size!! Make sure you have 6- E14s (not the normal E12s that most chandeliers require! I did peek at other reviews, and you can see they don't have bulbs in theirs either! (Nor do I! My bulbs will be here later this week!) E14 is not a bulb we generally use in normal light fixtures! 6. Bulb choice: because these are "upside down", your traditional chandelier ("candle") bulb will not be all that aesthetic! It may look rather silly! I opted for a small "Edison" bulb and will update this review if they work ok. Just keep that in mind when you run out for "chandelier" bulbs! I still love it tho!!!!

Very Elegant Crystal Chandelier. I was very impressed with this fixture. The crystals are beautiful and easy to attach to the main fixture. The gold color of the fixture is a very pleasing neutral gold, not brassy. The 6 light dimmable feature is a real bonus, giving you the ability to set the ambiance of a room.

Beautiful chandelier with a lot of sparkle. This is very feminine and has a lot of shimmering crystals that I tried to capture in my photo. Unfortunately I don’t have time to install for a couple more months but it will be beautiful above my bathtub! Also note that the crystals are clear and the golden hue in the wayfair photo is just a reflection from the gold fixture.

Our youngest chose this light for her room of our new build. There are many pieces, well wrapped and protected. It’s beautiful in person and will update once installation has been completed.
