A large statement chandelier made from hand-strung capiz shells framed in brass-plated metal on an iron frame. The iridescent shells diffuse light so the fixture seems to glow rather than glare. It suits dining rooms, entryways and bedrooms that want a warm, organic focal point. Against glass or crystal pendants it is softer and more textured, and it takes a single bulb rather than many, so it lights a room gently instead of brightly.

The Teardrops Capiz Chandelier is a large statement light made with iridescent capiz shells that seem to glow from within. Artisans in the Philippines make it by hand. The shells are harvested from local windowpane oysters.
Each shell is cleaned, cut, lacquered, framed in a thin band of brass, strung and attached to a brass-plated frame. The whole process is done by hand. The frame is iron with a shiny brass-plated finish.
It takes one 23W CFL bulb or one 100W incandescent bulb. The bulb is not included. The chandelier plugs in, is bathroom safe and is UL-listed.
