Synonymous with unique quality and decades of dedication, crystal brings to mind images of precision cuts, unmatched clarity and sparkling brilliance. Crystal is characterized by its highly refractive index, which results in better light dispersion, producing homogeneous rainbows, and rich reflections that will sweep you away with emotion.

SOURCING
After a worldwide exploration into Chinese, European and Egyptian Crystal, we found a crystal with unmatched clarity and eternal sparkle at the base of Mt. Sinai.
Asfour Crystal is a third-generation company that has devoted the last 50 years to infusing its crystal with all of the mystery and intrigue that this mountain range contains. Their valued team includes gifted artisans that funnel their talents and passion into every crystal facet they create.
It is Asfour Crystal’s unique ingredients, high lead content, state-of-the-art machinery and techniques, higher productivity, less waste, and more competitive pricing that creates a product that clearly outshines all others.
INGREDIENTS
The sacred Sinai region is made-up made up of vast deserts and robust mountain ranges that hold the key to creating a sparkle that is second to none. Complex attributes in Sinai sand contain unique molecules that help refract more light particles than any other crystal on earth.Â
Sand creates the groundwork for glass but the percentage of lead added is solely responsible for the brilliant refractions that are so commonly associated with quality crystal. The higher the lead content, the higher the crystal rates on the refractive index to create maximum light dispersion. To achieve the weight, durability, clarity, and quality that can hold the CIANA name, we offer full-leaded full-leaded crystal with over 30% lead.Â
With lead amounts as low as 6%, many competitors will create crystalline or half-lead crystals to create a product that is much cheaper to manufacture. It is easy to see the luster that a full-leaded crystal exudes compared to a lower-quality crystal.
PROCESS
Pioneering techniques ensure that each crystal is devoid of bubbles, cracks, or streaks for the clearest product possible. By utilizing a high-lead content formulation, we are then able to cut the crystal with fine-tuned machines so that finite details will radiate rainbows from every facet. This innovative process gives us the confidence to personally guarantee that every crystal piece we use on our custom fixtures is cut to perfection – reflecting the most brilliant light.
CIANA Crystal can be customized to fit your vision, budget, and location for a luster and brilliance that will last until the end of time.Â
