Crystals are easy.

Crowns generally are, but about the only reliable way to fit them is to find someone with bunches of them and try them to fit. The style, thread, and inner and outer diameter all need to be correct.

Hands are available, but they often need some tweaking to fit. I'm personally really picky about color and style matching, and it can be tough to find just the right match.

Depends on what it is and the condition
