Know before you buy
The mother-of-pearl discs act as a diffuser, softening the light from the bulb to create a warm, ethereal glow. Because the discs are natural shells, they also add a subtle, shimmering texture to the light as it reflects off the surfaces.
Yes, the fixture comes with a generous 157.5-inch cord, allowing you to adjust the suspension height to suit your ceiling height and specific space requirements.
No, this specific model is not compatible with dimmer switches. It is designed to operate as a standard on/off fixture.
The discs are delicate and should be handled with care. To keep them looking their best, gently dust them with a soft, dry cloth or a feather duster periodically to prevent buildup.
With a fixture height of 16.9 inches, it is compact enough for many residential spaces. However, you should measure your ceiling height and account for the desired clearance above your floor or furniture to ensure it doesn't feel too low.
The fixture uses an E26 base bulb. We recommend choosing a bulb with a warm color temperature to best complement the natural, organic tones of the mother-of-pearl discs.
