The biggest diamond necklace and earrings she could find, more *chandelier* than chic.

Souldn't that be more *like* chandelier than....??

No, it makes sense as it is. The writer is saying, rather sarcastically, that her earrings were too large and ostentatious to be fashionable. (More like those large crystal chandeliers you see in banquet halls).
