Two-Tier Alabaster Ring and Brass Chandelier

Two rings of translucent alabaster panels hang one above the other on a solid brass frame. The wider ring sits on top and a smaller ring is offset below it, both suspended from fine braided stainless steel cables so the fixture appears to float beneath its canopy. The panels are laid in a staggered, brick-like arrangement and intentionally left unmatched, which gives the rings a rich surface texture. Small brass studs mark each fixing point, and the veining differs from one chandelier to the next.

The lamps sit behind the stone, so the light passes through as a soft, layered ambient glow rather than a direct beam. Each panel casts warmth onto its neighbors, and the two tiers deepen the effect. Warm white light at 2700K brings out honey and cream tones in the stone along with its veining. Cooler light tends to make alabaster look gray and flat. Over a kitchen island or a desk, plan for separate task lighting.

Care

Turn the fixture off and allow the lamps to cool before cleaning. Alabaster is soft and absorbent, so use only a dry soft cloth or feather duster on it, and never let liquids, sprays or cleaning products touch the stone. For the brass, a dry soft cloth is enough; avoid metal polishes.
