I built one for a game a couple of years back. I've since given it away and have no pictures sadly enough.
I took six pieces of brass rod and bent each into a "J" shape and then bundled them together with the short ends sticking out. A second larger set was done and set beneath so that I had the frame for a 2 tier chandalier total height about an inch and a half and about 2 inches wide. I then painted all of this white. Next I strung four lengths of fine clear line taken from my wifes jewelry kit. Little drops of thick super glue were added to the lines and fine clear beads were slipped onto the frame. The whole thing only took an hour or so.
