{"product_id":"curved-shell-alabaster-pendant-light","title":"Curved Shell Pendant Light","description":"\u003cp\u003eA curved metal leaf, folded over a stone. The shade is a single sheet bent into a shallow shell — matte and dark on the outside, gold leaf on the inside — and cradled within it sits a sphere of \u003cstrong\u003enatural alabaster\u003c\/strong\u003e. The light comes from inside the stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat is the whole difference. Alabaster is translucent, so it does not simply diffuse light the way frosted glass does; it carries light through its own veining. Every sphere is cut from natural stone, which means the grain, the cloudiness, and the pattern of warm and pale zones are different in every single piece. Two of these fixtures side by side will not match, and that is the point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you are actually buying\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNatural alabaster, not resin or glass.\u003c\/strong\u003e A genuine stone diffuser with its own veining, lit from within.

Hang the lowest point of the shell 30 to 34 inches above a tabletop. Because the alabaster is the light source and the shell shields it from one side, orient the open side toward the part of the room you want lit — the fixture is directional in a way a globe pendant is not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat sizes and prices are available?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo.

The sphere is natural alabaster, a translucent stone that transmits light through its own veining. Because it is a natural material, the color, cloudiness, and grain pattern vary from piece to piece. Variation is a characteristic of the material, not a defect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat bulb does it take?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA G9 capsule bulb, either LED or halogen, not included. G9 is a small two-pin base, not a screw base — make sure you buy G9 and not E26 or E27. Choose 2700K warm white; alabaster's natural warmth is lost under cool white light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat finishes are available?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo: Black \u0026amp; Gold, and White \u0026amp; Gold. In both, the outer face of the shell carries the color and the inner face is gold leaf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow far down does it hang?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUp to 78.7 inches \/ 200 cm of total drop including the suspension, and the 150 cm \/ 59 inch wire can be shortened at installation to hang it as high as you need. Longer suspension is available on request for double-height rooms — contact us before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs it dimmable?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fixture runs on a common wall switch and has no built-in dimming, so it depends on the bulb. A dimmable G9 LED or a halogen bulb on a compatible wall dimmer will dim — and dimming suits this fixture particularly well, because low light brings out the veining in the stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the light go in every direction?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, and that is deliberate. The metal shell shields the alabaster on one side and opens on the other, so the fixture throws light asymmetrically. Rotate it at installation to aim the open side where you want the light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan it be used in a bathroom or outdoors?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. It is rated for indoor use only. Alabaster is a porous natural stone that stains and degrades with moisture, so keep this fixture well away from bathrooms and any outdoor or covered exterior location.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I clean the alabaster?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDust with a dry, soft cloth only. Do not use water, vinegar, or any household cleaner — alabaster is porous and acid-sensitive, and liquid cleaners will mark it permanently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill it work outside the United States?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. It accepts AC 110-240 V and carries certification compatible with North America, Europe, Saudi Arabia, and Australia. G9 bulbs are available for both 120 V and 230 V supply.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Malane Lighting","offers":[{"title":"Black \u0026 Gold \/ Ø15.7\" (40 cm)","offer_id":56043780604196,"sku":"ML-SHL-40-BKG","price":2535.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \u0026 Gold \/ Ø23.6\" (60 cm)","offer_id":56043780636964,"sku":"ML-SHL-60-BKG","price":3318.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true},{"title":"White \u0026 Gold \/ Ø15.7\" (40 cm)","offer_id":56043780669732,"sku":"ML-SHL-40-WHG","price":2535.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true},{"title":"White \u0026 Gold \/ Ø23.6\" (60 cm)","offer_id":56043780702500,"sku":"ML-SHL-60-WHG","price":3318.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0922\/4526\/2628\/files\/9d41f1e545292d6202b3736dec5cb0e6.png?v=1787352210","url":"https:\/\/malanelighting.ae\/products\/curved-shell-alabaster-pendant-light","provider":"Malanelighting.ae","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
