Shape and light. This Hourglass pendant is two stone half-bowls meeting at a black collar, with an integrated LED throwing a downward pool from the lower bowl. The Sliced Globe is a sphere cut on a diagonal that glows through a seam (G9); the Ribbed is a horizontal-ribbed cylinder that glows from its open base (E27). Pick Hourglass for a compact sculptural double-bowl with soft downlight.

No — those are natural to travertine. Open pores, surface pitting, and color banding are core characteristics of the stone, not flaws or shipping damage. Each bowl is hand-carved, so the two bowls on one pendant won't match exactly — that variation is the point of a natural-stone fixture.

The LED is integrated and rated over 30,000 hours — roughly 25 years at 3 hours of daily use. It isn't a user-swappable bulb; if it fails within or after the warranty period, contact authorized service with your order number for a replacement LED module rather than replacing the whole fixture.

Hang the lower bowl so its rim sits 30–36″ above the table or island surface, keeping the downward pool at a comfortable level. The braided cord shortens on-site; for stairwells or high ceilings it can be ordered longer. Email us your ceiling height if you'd like a custom drop.

Only away from water — it's rated IP20 for indoor dry locations, so keep it clear of shower or tub spray. Travertine is porous and absorbs moisture. 2-year warranty on the fixture and wiring; the LED is covered under the same warranty.
