With a bit of creative vision, patience, wire, crystals and stringed beads, I think you could duplicate the dainty chandelier above. A French artisan married the fixture's classical silhouette with a bit of whimsy to create a handwrought original available from ABC Home for $7600.

Perhaps, we may want to dress up or cover up our creation. The chandelier (above right) from Canopy Designs shows how a twist of unexpected natural material can really grow on you.
A candleier that is a marriage of denim and diamonds for wannabe wranglers? Trend Hunter loves the barbed wire and crystal fusion. Sure it looks like a doable DIY project, but I'm skeptical. Do we really want to inject something that looks this painful in our abodes?
Granted, the lighting above may be outside of my crafter comfort zone, but I would be more than happy to accommodate this beauty in my home anytime. Photo by Anna Wolf.
