Abstract
A framework for a lighting fixture, such as a chandelier, includes frame members that contain or support decorative ornaments. The ornaments may be captured within the frame members without the use of attachment elements. The frame members may be formed with substantially parallel rails defining cages that are sized to hold beads, crystals or other decorative ornaments. In some embodiments, the ornaments may viewed from any angle without substantial obstruction by the frame member.
