    Michael I have collaborated with some blacksmith friends of mine on a
    project very similar to yours. They needed convincing grapes to hang
    from their gorgeous wrought chandeliers. These fixtures were to hang
    in the reception room of a very posh wine cellar. Anyway I torched
    about 400 or so very realistic glass grapes that were subsequently
    glued to grape cluster armatures on the chandeliers. If you know a
    glass lampworker in your area I'm sure they could accommodate your
    request. I found that a matted surface on the glass grapes gave them
    a more realistic appeal. 

Hope this helps.

Lori
