A third option is to shop for offset chandeliers, or use a large ceiling medallion to hide the wires and cover the hole, especially if you are only offsetting the chandelier 12 inches. Some chandeliers come with large ceiling plates, where you can offset the chandelier without moving the junction box.
Lori from Touch of Drywall does an excellent job patching Sheetrock walls. You can’t find the patch after it dries and is painted
