Add the room's length and width in feet — the sum, read in inches, is the diameter. Keep 7 ft of clearance from the floor to the lowest point.
Single · round up for high ceilings
Handcrafted shell chandelier in four sizes; warm diffused light, brass frame, dimmable.
A tiered brass chandelier strung with genuine shells that softens light into a warm, inviting glow. Shells act as natural diffusers, casting no harsh shadows. Fits dining rooms, entryways, and bedrooms—check ceiling height and joist strength before ordering, as the largest variant weighs significantly more than standard fixtures.



Each pendant is a real shell hung on brass wire. Light passes through the shell surface, not around it, creating organic variation from piece to piece.
Smallest takes 1 bulb and hangs 26cm deep. Largest takes 6 bulbs and stretches to 80cm wide. Pick based on room width and desired brightness, not square footage alone.
Compatible with standard household dimmers. Reduce brightness without replacing bulbs. Requires E12 or E14 base bulbs (not included).
Depends on size and bulb wattage. Smaller models (1 bulb) suit task lighting over a nightstand. Larger models (4–6 bulbs) provide main room lighting. Shells diffuse rather than amplify light, so expect warm ambient glow, not bright task light.
Hardwired. Requires a licensed electrician to install into a standard ceiling junction box. Not suitable for renters or temporary spaces.
Shells are durable but can crack if knocked hard. They will not fade from normal indoor light exposure. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent discoloration over years.
No. Flat roof installation only. Sloped or cathedral ceilings require a custom downrod, which must be sourced separately.
