Chandelier render

[Penry]

I need to render a chandelier as the image attached-can anyone help with a good crystal type vray mat?

It's just glass with a high ior, about 2.5 maybe? The main look is caused by the shape of the geometry and the environment around it. Try to look at the individual parts of a chandelier to see how sharp the edges of the glass are and how many facets it as - they're designed in such a way to keep as much light bouncing around inside of them as possible! Don't get freaked out by the amount of detail in the model either, it's a simple enough shape just copied lots of times along a circle. Take a look at the free version of rail clone or the array modifier up on scriptspot and it should be easily done.
