gravity's enemy, dressed in crystal and dripping light like it owns the room.
means A decorative light fixture that hangs from the ceiling, branching into multiple bulbs or candles, often adorned with glass or crystal.
from From French 'chandelier,' meaning candlestick or candle-holder, which traces back to Latin 'candēla' (candle) — itself from 'candēre,' to shine or glow. So the very bones of the word are made of light: a thing for holding flame, long before it dripped crystal and learned to defy gravity.
