The Tiered Natural Alabaster Chandelier integrates cut slabs of genuine stone into descending rings mounted on a sleek metal assembly. Unlike synthetic alternatives, each panel originates from a specific quarry block, ensuring that the cloudy drifts and veins you see are exclusive to your fixture. Light passes directly through the translucent mineral rather than bouncing off polished surfaces, eliminating harsh glare in favor of a soft, amber-hued radiance.
The staggered arrangement maintains dimensional interest whether viewed head-on or from across the room, avoiding the flat perspective common in single-shade pendant lights. Choose between round and linear configurations based on the geometry of the area beneath. The circular model accommodates four diameters ranging from 17.7″ to 39.4″, ideal for entries, staircases, or round dining setups. The linear option offers three lengths spanning 31.5″ to 47.2″, designed specifically for kitchen islands and rectangular dining tables.
Construction and Specifications
- Material: Gold-finished metal frame combined with solid natural alabaster cut panels. Stone coloration varies slightly white to off-white with unique veining patterns.
- Mounting Type: Permanent ceiling mount; requires hardwired electrical connection directly to a junction box.
- Light Source: E14 socket base. Compatible bulbs are sold separately. Warm white illumination around 2700K is recommended to enhance the gold tones of the stone.
- Durability Rating: IP20 certified for dry indoor environments only. Moisture resistance is not guaranteed.
- Dimming Capability: Variable dimming achieved by installing compatible dimmable E14 bulbs paired with a matching wall control unit.
- Aesthetic Style: Organic modern, contemporary luxury, and minimalist design suitable for transitional interiors.
- Power Supply: Operates on voltage ratings between 110V–240V.
Weight and Safety Considerations
This chandelier utilizes actual stone rather than resin replicas, making it substantial in weight. Gross weights begin at 22 lbs (approximately 10 kg) and increase with size. Verify that your ceiling junction box is rated to support the total load of the chosen size, as larger dimensions may necessitate reinforcing the mounting bracket. Professional installation by a licensed electrician adhering to local building codes is strongly advised. Panels should be handled via their metal fittings rather than the fragile stone faces to avoid damage during setup.
Brightness and Appearance
The visual profile shifts dramatically depending on the time of day. During daylight hours when unpowered, the fixture presents as architectural stonework—descending rings of pale mineral contrasted against a metallic gold backdrop. Each shadow cast by the stacked tiers adds texture to the room.
At night, once illuminated, the stone ceases to function merely as a shade and becomes the light-emitting surface itself. The internal lumens travel through the stone, creating an amber wash that intensifies where the slab thickness varies naturally. This effect is impossible to replicate with molded plastic, as the depth of light changes organically with the material. Use cool white bulbs (4000K+) sparingly, as higher color temperatures tend to dull the alabaster appearance, turning it grey instead of golden. Installation Instructions
Assembly follows a specific sequence to protect the stone and ensure safety. First, mount the empty metal frame securely to the ceiling, level it electrically, and run the wiring. Only after the structural support is confirmed should panels be inserted by hand. Because the assembly involves heavy parts suspended at height, having two individuals assist makes this task manageable. Note that suspension cords may develop slight kinks during transit; simply leave the fixture hanging for twenty-four hours, allowing the stone weight to naturally straighten the wire.

Sizing Options Overview
Round Collection
- ∅ 17.7″ (H 22.8″): Fits tables for four, bedrooms, or entries with standard 8-foot ceilings. Hang 30–36″ above tabletop or maintain 7ft walkway clearance.
- ∅ 23.6″ (H 25.6″): Ideal for living rooms or entryways with 9-foot ceilings. Standard choice for residential applications.
- ∅ 31.5″ (H 27.6″): Suited for large round tables or stairwells requiring visibility from multiple levels. Best installed in spaces with ceilings of 10 feet or higher.
- ∅ 39.4″ (H 30.3″): Designed for double-height foyers or grand staircases filling vertical voids. Position above eye level when viewed from upper landings in rooms exceeding 12 feet high.
Linear Collection
- L 31.5″ (W 13.8″ · H 15.7″): Perfect for short kitchen islands or rectangular tables seating four to six people. Center over the surface, staying 30–36″ above the edge.
- L 39.4″ (W 13.8″ · H 15.7″): Great for standard kitchen islands or dining tables holding six to eight guests. Leave approximately 6 inches of clearance extending beyond each table end.
- L 47.2″ (W 13.8″ · H 15.7″): Best for expansive dining tables serving eight people or islands exceeding 8 feet in length. Works effectively on surfaces 6 feet longer upward.
Unlike resin molds, natural alabaster cannot repeat the same pattern twice. Your fixture’s clouding is a true signature of the rock face. By stacking panels in tiers rather than a single plane, the chandelier retains visual depth even when viewed directly underneath—something flat pendants lose completely. Combined with a gold metal framework, this creates a luxurious layered aesthetic.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose between round and linear shapes?
Select the form factor based on the room feature beneath it. Round versions suit central gathering points like round tables, stairs, or foyers. Linear versions span long surfaces like kitchen counters and rectangular dining tops. In either case, size the width or length to cover about half to two-thirds of the surface width.
Is the stone material real alabaster or imitation?
Yes, the product consists of solid quarried alabaster slices. This is confirmed by significant weight differences compared to resin products and the impossibility of molding identical grain patterns. You can expect variations in veining and color saturation between the photo display units and your delivery.
Are bulbs provided upon purchase?
No, bulbs are sold separately. To achieve the intended warm gold effect in photos, we recommend sourcing warm white E14 bulbs with a temperature around 2700K. Brighter white lights flatten the stone texture.
Can this fixture be installed anywhere outdoors?
No. Rated IP20 means it is strictly for dry indoor locations such as dining rooms, bedrooms, hallways, or stairwells. It must not be exposed to rain, humidity, steam, or grease vapor.
Does the suspension cord come pre-curled?
Cords sometimes show minor bends from shipping packaging. This is not a defect. Allow the finished unit to hang freely for one day, and gravity will smooth out any creases before you adjust the position.
