Verian Alabaster Capsule Chain Chandelier

The Verian Alabaster Capsule Chain Pendant hangs a smooth dome-topped capsule of natural stone from a slender metal chain — quiet, vertical, and unmistakably considered. Each shade is carved from genuine natural alabaster, its soft cloud-like veining running the full length of the capsule. Switched off, it reads as a pale stone lantern suspended in the air; switched on, the whole capsule glows warm and honeyed from within, with a soft pool of light falling from the open base.

The chain is the second half of the design. Rather than a rigid rod or a hidden cord, each pendant drops on a visible link chain that can be draped, swagged, and hooked across the ceiling — so a single pendant can hang straight over a nightstand, or five and eight can be strung together into a cascading cluster where the chains themselves become part of the composition. It's a fixture that lets you decide the shape.

Natural Alabaster

Naturally Unique Veining

No two pieces of stone are ever the same

Alabaster is a natural stone, so every piece carries its own veining and subtle variation in color. The fixture you receive may therefore differ slightly from the images shown.

An inherent characteristic of real stone — not a quality defect.

Good to Know

Natural stone varies from piece to piece

Alabaster is a natural stone, so every capsule has its own veining and subtle color variation. The piece you receive will differ slightly from the photos — this is inherent to real stone, not a defect.

The chain is part of the design

Each pendant hangs on a 100 cm / 39.4″ chain that adjusts to your ceiling height. In a multi-light cluster the chains can be draped and hooked overhead, so you decide the shape. Need it longer for a stairwell or atrium? Contact us before ordering and we'll extend it.

Bulbs & installation

Takes a standard E12 or E14 bulb — LED or Edison. We recommend warm white for the softest glow through the alabaster. It hardwires to a common wall switch, which supplies and controls the power (switch not included). For dry indoor locations only.

Sizing Tip

Because every capsule is the same size, the cluster's footprint is set by how far apart you place the ceiling plates — not by the fixture itself. Over a dining table, aim for the cluster to span roughly half to two-thirds of the table's width, with the lowest capsule 30–36″ above the tabletop. In an open room or stairwell, spread the plates wider and stagger the chain lengths so the capsules fall at different heights — that variation is what makes the cluster look composed rather than repetitive. Chains are adjustable, so the final arrangement is set during installation.

The design

A Lantern on a Long Chain

The shape is yours to decide.

The Verian Alabaster Capsule Chain Pendant began with two decisions. The first was the shade: a smooth, dome-topped capsule carved from genuine natural alabaster, closed at the top and open at the base, so light glows through the stone and pools gently downward. Simple, vertical, quiet — a small stone lantern.

The second decision was the chain, and it's the one that changes everything. Most pendants hide their hardware. Here the chain is meant to be seen — long enough to drape, hook, and cross overhead, so a single capsule hangs straight over a nightstand while five or nine can be swagged across a ceiling into a cascade. You aren't buying a fixed shape. You're arranging one. No two installations are ever quite the same.

Why this pendant

A Fixture You Arrange Yourself

Stone capsules on drapeable chains — the only pendant where the shape is your decision, not ours.

The Chain Is the Design

Most pendants hide their hardware. Here the link chain is meant to be seen — long enough to drape, hook, and cross overhead. Hang one capsule straight over a nightstand, or swag five across a dining ceiling into a cascade. You aren't buying a fixed shape; you're arranging one, and no two installations look the same.

From One Capsule to Thirteen

Choose 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 11, or 13 heads — the same capsule and the same chain, scaled from a single bedside drop to a full atrium cascade. A small kitchen and a three-story stairwell can share exactly the same design language.

Adjustable, and Simple to Live With

Every capsule hangs on a 100 cm / 39.4″ chain that adjusts during installation — stagger the drops so no two line up, and the cluster reads composed rather than repetitive. Need more length for a stairwell? We'll extend it before it ships. It takes a standard E12 or E14 bulb, so replacements are easy to find anywhere.

Questions, Answered

Common Questions

Are the capsules real alabaster?

Yes. Every capsule is carved from genuine natural alabaster — never resin, glass, or acrylic. Because it's real stone, each capsule has its own veining and slight color variation, which is the mark of authenticity, not a defect.

What bulb does it take?

Each capsule takes a standard E14 bulb — LED or Edison. We recommend a warm-white LED for the softest glow through the alabaster. (Please purchase a dimmable bulb if the dimming function is required.)

How long is the chain, and can it be adjusted?

Each capsule hangs on a 100 cm / 39.4″ chain, adjustable during installation so you can set each drop to a different height. For a tall stairwell, foyer, or atrium, contact us before ordering and we'll extend the chains for you.

How many heads should I choose?

A single capsule suits a bedside, powder room, or small entry. 3–5 heads work over a kitchen island or dining table. 7–13 heads are made for double-height entries, stairwells, and atriums where the cluster is seen from more than one level. Over a table, aim for the cluster to span roughly half to two-thirds of the tabletop width.

How do I arrange a multi-light cluster?

Each capsule has its own ceiling plate, so you decide where they sit — the chains drape and hook between them. Two rules make it look composed: spread the plates unevenly rather than in a grid, and stagger the drop heights so no two capsules line up. That variation is what turns a group of pendants into a single sculpture.

How high should I hang it?

Over a table or island, hang the lowest capsule 30–36″ above the surface. In a walkway or entry, keep at least 7 ft of clearance from the floor. Because the chains adjust on site, the final height is set during installation.

Will it be too bright or glary?

No. Light spreads inside the stone rather than shooting straight out, and the open base sends a soft pool downward — so you get a warm glow with no visible hotspot. It's ambient light rather than a bright task beam.

Will the stone yellow or fade?

Natural alabaster keeps its color for decades and won't yellow under the light or give off odors — unlike acrylic, which yellows and scratches with age.

Is it difficult to install?

A single pendant is straightforward — it hardwires to a standard ceiling junction box. For multi-head clusters we recommend an electrician, since each capsule needs its own ceiling plate positioned before the chains are draped. Plan the layout first, and always switch off power at the breaker.

How do I clean it?

Wipe both the stone and the metal gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid water, harsh chemicals, and abrasive pads — alabaster is a porous natural stone. Always switch off and let the bulb cool before cleaning.

SIZE GUIDE

Choose the Right Fixture for Your Space

Statement lighting should feel visually balanced with the room rather than simply filling empty ceiling space. Use these recommendations as a starting point, then consider ceiling height, furniture dimensions and the visual weight of the fixture.

Need a more accurate recommendation?

Send us your room measurements, ceiling height, installation photo and preferred design. Refrovulet can review the scale, hanging height and possible configuration before you order.

Space	Recommended Type	Simple Size Direction
Dining Room	Chandelier / Linear Chandelier	Relate fixture width to the dining table rather than the entire room. Linear designs often suit longer rectangular tables.
Kitchen Island	Linear Pendant / Multiple Pendants	Keep the lighting visually inside the island length and allow comfortable sightlines around the fixture.
Two-Story Foyer	Statement / Cascade Chandelier	Taller spaces can support greater vertical scale. Consider both viewing height and the lowest point of the fixture.
Staircase	Cascade / Multi-Light Chandelier	Select a configuration that relates to the stairwell height and remains visually balanced from multiple levels.
Bedroom	Pendant / Chandelier / Wall Sconce	Use a softer scale and avoid placing suspended fixtures where they interfere with circulation.
Bathroom / Vanity	Wall Sconce	Position around the mirror and face height. Confirm the fixture rating before use in damp locations.

PRODUCTION & SHIPPING

From Alabaster Selection to Secure Delivery

Each Refrovulet alabaster fixture moves through material selection, production, inspection, protective packing and shipment with careful attention to both the stone and the finished lighting structure.

Because genuine alabaster is a natural material, individual pieces are reviewed for tone, veining, translucency and suitability before they become part of the finished fixture.
