A small pendant centred on a hand-cut alabaster dome with a smaller alabaster globe suspended inside — the globe holds the LED, sits a touch below the dome's open rim, and casts a warm glow through two layers of natural stone. The brass armature, ceiling canopy, and adjustable stem are warm-toned, hand-finished metal. Each piece of alabaster carries its own veining, translucence, and small fissures unique to that block of stone — no two pendants are the same. Available in two sizes: Small at ∅ 6.3″ × H 4.7″ (∅ 16 × H 12 cm) or Large at ∅ 9.1″ × H 6.3″ (∅ 23 × H 16 cm).
Alabaster dome + globe
Two layers of hand-cut alabaster diffuse the LED into a warm, even glow with no hotspot.
Brass stem + canopy
Hand-finished warm-tone brass armature with adjustable rod drop and a small ceiling canopy.
Unique veining
Every block of alabaster veins differently. The piece you receive will be uniquely figured.
| Size | Dimensions | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Small | ∅ 6.3″ × H 4.7″ (∅ 16 × H 12 cm) | Single pendant beside a bed or sofa, accent over a small console, cluster of multiples above a counter |
| Large | ∅ 9.1″ × H 6.3″ (∅ 23 × H 16 cm) | Centerpiece over a side table, single drop over an entryway console, dining table accent in a small dining nook |
2 SKUs — single alabaster + brass configuration in two scales. Both sizes show the dome dimensions only; the brass rod drop is adjustable on install (specify drop length at order, or set during electrician install). For dining-table use, hang the bottom of the dome 30–36 inches above the table top.
Never use water, soap, or any liquid cleaner on alabaster
Alabaster is a soft, porous natural stone. Liquid cleaners, water, soap, vinegar, and citrus all damage alabaster — they soak into the surface, stain it permanently, dull the natural translucence, and can etch the polished finish. Clean only with a soft, dry cloth or a clean soft-bristle brush. Never use abrasive pads, scouring powders, or solvents either. The brass armature can be wiped with a slightly damp cloth followed by a dry cloth; keep moisture away from the stone.
Hand-cut from natural alabaster — each piece unique
Each dome and globe is cut and turned by hand from a block of natural alabaster. The veining, translucence, micro-fissures, and small variations in colour vary from piece to piece — that's the nature of the stone, not a defect. Some blocks read warmer and creamier; others lean cooler and more grey-veined. The piece you receive will sit in the same design family as the photos but will not be a pixel-perfect match.
Integrated warm-white LED inside the alabaster globe
A small warm-white LED module — approximately 4W, around 2700–3000K — is sealed inside the alabaster globe. Light passes through the globe's stone wall first, then through the dome above, giving a doubly-diffused soft warm glow with no harsh hotspot. The LED is not user-replaceable; if it fails, return for service under warranty. No separate bulb to buy.
Hand-finished brass + natural alabaster
The brass stem, canopy, and dome-to-globe joint are hand-finished in a warm raw tone that will develop a soft patina over years of normal use — the surface darkens slightly and the warmth deepens. If you prefer a polished bright look, wipe with a soft dry cloth as part of regular dusting; if you prefer the patina, leave it. Either way, avoid abrasive metal polishes — they can scratch the brass and risk depositing residue on the alabaster. For project quantities or a custom rod drop length, email us before ordering.

- Hardwired to a standard ceiling junction box — we strongly recommend a licensed electrician for installation. Alabaster pieces are delicate; the electrician should handle the brass armature, not the stone.
- Plan the mount height by use: for a single drop over a side table or console, hang the bottom of the dome about 36–48 inches above the surface. Over a dining table, hang the bottom 30–36 inches above the table top. Beside a bed, hang at or slightly above eye level when seated upright.
- Specify the rod drop length at order, or have the electrician cut the brass rod to length during install. Measure twice — once shortened, the rod can't be lengthened again.
- Unpack carefully. Alabaster is a soft, porous stone — it can chip if knocked against a hard edge. Lift the pendant by the brass canopy and stem only; never lift by the alabaster dome or globe.
- The integrated LED in the alabaster globe is already inside — no bulb to install. Wire the canopy to the ceiling circuit per local electrical code.
- Indoor dry locations only. Alabaster is porous and easily damaged by humidity, steam, splashes, and condensation. Not for bathrooms, kitchens with steam exposure, covered porches, or outdoor use.
- Clean only with a soft, dry cloth or a soft-bristle brush. Never use water, soap, vinegar, citrus cleaners, abrasive pads, or solvents — they stain alabaster permanently and etch the polished surface. The brass armature can be wiped with a slightly damp cloth and dried promptly; keep all moisture away from the stone.
- If the alabaster develops a small chip from impact, it usually cannot be invisibly repaired — it becomes part of the piece's history. For major damage during install or transit, email support with your order number and photos.
How do I clean the alabaster?
Only with a soft, dry cloth or a clean, soft-bristle brush. Never use water, soap, vinegar, citrus, abrasive pads, scouring powders, or solvents — alabaster is porous and soft, so any liquid soaks in and stains the stone permanently, while abrasives etch the polished surface. The brass armature can be wiped with a slightly damp cloth followed by a dry cloth; keep moisture strictly away from the alabaster. For visible dust, a long-handled feather duster is ideal — you don't even need to take the pendant down.
Will the piece I receive match the photos exactly?
No — and that's intentional. Each dome and globe is cut and turned by hand from a block of natural alabaster, so the veining, translucence, and small fissures vary from piece to piece. Some blocks read warmer and creamier with subtle clouds; others lean cooler with more pronounced grey-veining. The piece you receive will sit in the same design family as the photos but will not be a pixel-perfect match. If you'd like to see in-stock pieces and choose one, email us before ordering.
What bulb does it use? Can I change the LED?
The LED is integrated and sealed inside the alabaster globe — no separate bulb to buy or change. It's a small warm-white module of approximately 4W at 2700–3000K, doubly diffused by the globe and the dome above for a soft warm glow. The LED is rated for roughly 25,000 hours of use. If the module fails within the warranty window, return for service. Outside warranty, the whole globe assembly would need to be replaced — email us for service options.
Will the brass change color over time?
Slightly, yes. The brass is hand-finished in a raw warm tone and will develop a soft patina over years of normal use — the surface darkens a touch and the warmth deepens. Some buyers love the patina and let it develop; others prefer the brighter look and wipe occasionally with a soft dry cloth to slow it down. Either way, avoid abrasive metal polishes (the residue can deposit on the alabaster and is difficult to remove). The patina is gradual and even — it doesn't appear as splotches.
What is the warranty?
The pendant carries a 1-year warranty against manufacturing defects in the LED module, wiring, brass armature, and structural alabaster fittings under normal indoor use. Email support with your order number if anything arrives damaged or fails in normal use. Natural variation in alabaster veining, brass patina from age, small chips from impact, and damage from water or solvent exposure are not covered.
If it is a product quality problem or transportation damage, we will provide free return and exchange services, ensuring a hassle-free experience for our customers.
