well...I think it would be a bit difficult to name an average! It depends on so many things - quality, whether its by a well known designer, whether its a replica, whether its mass produced etc. What I do know is that when we were building my taste and my budget were two different things!! The chandelier I really liked was in the thousands (many thousands!), the chandelier I could afford was in the hundreds (few hundreds!)!

Thanks....I have a 3 metre dining room table that I wanted to put it above. It comes in black, white or chrome ... here is a pic....What do u think?

I love it cause it's so different...but it's priced at $7349!!!!

Hi, I love it, but I think it also depends on the extent to which you can afford it... if money is not too much of an object and you feel it will make your house PERFECT, then go for it!

Not sure if you could find a cheaper replica of this but it might be worth a look as it can save you hundreds or even thousands, although I know lots of people have moral issues around buying replicas ( but that's another issue.)

Good luck with the decision!

It's pretty special italiangal001 :-) but for that price I'd at least sit on it for a good while and look around in the meantime at what else is out there. If after a set period of time you still love it best then I guess it comes down to budget. Did you plan to spend that much on lighting, can you rob Peter to pay Paul ie. go cheaper on some other lights? Budgets are different so you have to decide if that price is stretching it or not for you. It is a showstopper though, and would look great above a long table. Good luck!!

Thanks how2girl...but don't like any of those,,,and since it's an American website, by the time you convert US to AU dollar and then add shipping..not worth it! and I like to see what i buy too..but thanks tho :))

..........and a big thank you to all the above comments :)

Yes, i know..that's why i would only stick to buying in Australia ;)

This pendant i want is here in Australia...I actually spoke with the wholesaler yestereday, he said the best price he can do is $6100...which i think is still a lot of money for a light!! But in saying that, i do really love it!! Arghhhh!!!

Will go light shopping tomorrow :)) and hopefully find something nice but not that much

Are your ceilings high enough for a chandelier? From your previous photos I recall that you are building a modern house with regular height ceilings??

Nope not regular height, ours are 2.7 high....regular height is around 2.2 - 2.4

If you love the look there are plenty of individual same/similar shaped pendants for sale, you could buy a bunch of them and hang them in same way to achieve the chandelier effect for way, way less money. Check out some lighting places online to get an idea.

Ok...so i went on the hunt yesterday for a gorgeous pendant...and found this. Comes in 40cm, 60am and 90cm.

I LOVE the 90cm but it will just hang too low and I was told to go with the 60cm, which is still very nice and big.

What do U think??

Not really my cup of tea (and I loved the original).

Really?? Hmmmmn

i just posted a new pic...go check it out

Toooo busy! Unless you have an absolutely massive room with few other distractions. You'd have to pare back on your styling with those pendants they'd have to be the main feature.

And, btw electricians can change the drop to suit you and the room. I assume, given the designs you like, that you have pretty decent ceiling height to play with.

It's open plan so plenty of room and my ceilings are 2.7 - so higher than normal..my cousin is my electrician and he is amazing :)) It will be going on top of my 3 metre dining room table...

Wait...which one is busy???

Your second photo, they look like they're spinning around in space to me like something I'd be afraid of if I was an astronaut lol. However, our differences are what makes life interesting and if you love them go for it I'm sure you'll make them work. I really loved the first choice.

First choice was over 7G...cannot justify paying that much...this one is more funky :)

I believe the Aura 8 is a premium light...but that's okay...I found another one i love :)

To be honest - they are both pretty dominant for a 2.7 m stud - I like the idea of multiple hanging of similar lights.

You could also purchase something less expensive and think about it until you find the perfect piece - sometimes we need to live in the zone before we see what it needs.

One tip re budget - if someone walked towards you with $7000 in one hand and the light fitting in the other - which would you choose - a good temptation tester !
