Abstract
A stretchable chandelier ornament string assembly provides a plurality of elongated spring elements joined by a common runner and formed from a continuous piece of flat spring material stock. The runner is attached to a chandelier frame and each of the spring elements engages a chandelier ornament string. Displacement of the spring elements generates tension in the ornament strings to maintain the ornament strings in substantial predetermined alignment. The spring assembly can be formed into a non-planar orientation by the chandelier frame to generate a variety of shapes and patterns of chandelier string attachment locations.
