One Chandelier,
A Dozen Ways to Hang It
The new generation of modular chandeliers doesn't ask your room to adapt to them. They adapt to your room.
Pendant, draped, or linked — a modular chandelier bends to your ceiling.
Here's a question most people never think to ask before buying a chandelier: does it only hang one way? For most fixtures, the answer is yes — one shape, one drop, one spot. But modular chandeliers change everything. Built for flexible installation, they bend, drape, link, ring, and spiral to fit your space, your ceiling, and your style.
Below: the five most popular ways to hang one, the materials that make them last, the six designs we recommend, and a side-by-side comparison to help you choose.
“The fixture should work around your home — not the other way around.”
Five Ways to Hang It
| 01 |
Single-Point PendantThe classic drop — hung vertically from one ceiling point above a table, island, or entryway. The simplest install: one mounting point, one connection. Ships with 59″ of wire as standard, extendable on request. |
| 02 |
Draped Between Two PointsAnchored at two points and allowed to swag gracefully between them — like a glowing necklace draped overhead. Our Pearl Necklace and Sean Lavin Collier are built for this look. |
| 03 |
Linked Into Longer RunsConnect strands end-to-end to span a long island, hallway, or open-plan ceiling. The brass connectors link seamlessly into a single continuous line of light. |
| 04 |
Ringed, Tiered & SpiralA single ring, a multi-tiered circle, or a dynamic spiral cascading through a double-height space. Our Pearl Alabaster Necklace excels here, in genuine natural stone. |
| 05 |
Free-Form & Wave ArrangementsThe Dew Drops Pendant arranges glass bulbs along a flowing frame — horizontal, U-shaped, or wave-like — a light sculpture you compose to fit your space. |
The Materials Behind the Magic
Solid Brass Connectors
The backbone of every modular necklace. Polished brass joints in a warm gold finish link each element to the next — strong enough to span long runs, and a living finish that ages gracefully, deepening in character over the years rather than flaking like cheap plating.
Genuine Natural Alabaster
Formed over thousands of years, alabaster glows from within rather than reflecting light off its surface. Every bead carries unrepeatable veining — nature's fingerprint. It won't yellow, emits no chemical odor, and a subtle patina only refines it with age.
Faceted Crystal & Acrylic Spheres
Solid faceted crystal (the Collier) refracts light into brilliant sparkle, while impact-resistant acrylic pearls offer even diffusion and a lighter weight — essential for larger configurations that string hundreds of spheres along a single spine.
Hidden, Integrated LEDs
Pre-wired at the factory and concealed inside each shade — no visible bulb, no glare, no replacement headaches. Rated for tens of thousands of hours, in your choice of warm or cool color temperature.
Six Flexible Designs
Luxurious Pearl Necklace Chandelier
Jewelry turned architecture. Acrylic pearls strung along polished brass connectors form a continuous strand of light, hidden LEDs giving each pearl a warm glow. Configure it cascading, encircling, or interwoven — and customize head count, size, finish, and wire length.
Dew Drops Pendant Lamp
Inspired by dew on a morning leaf, glass bulbs are arranged along a flowing leather frame. Shape it horizontal, U-shaped, or wave-like — a piece of light sculpture for living rooms, dining rooms, and high-ceilinged spaces, with a warm, diffused glow.
Pearl Alabaster Necklace Chandelier
Handcrafted from genuine natural alabaster beads, blending real stone with modern geometry. Configure as a single ring, multi-layered circle, or dynamic spiral. Concealed LEDs cast a warm, even glow, and every bead carries its own unrepeatable veining.
Sean Lavin Collier Chandelier
A masterclass in luxury and engineering: faceted crystal encapsulating integrated LED modules, interlocked by solid brass. Available in multiple length strands — hang straight as a pendant, drape between two points, or interweave into a dramatic light sculpture.
Gabriel Chandelier
When a space calls for a true centerpiece, the Gabriel delivers. Designed to scale up and fill grand, high-ceilinged rooms, it anchors a foyer, stairwell, or great room with confident presence — commanding attention the moment you walk in.
Afralia Elegant Pendant Light
For those who prefer understated elegance, the Afralia is refined and endlessly adaptable. Its clean, versatile silhouette feels at home above a dining table, reading nook, or entryway — a quietly sophisticated choice for almost any interior.

Which Chandelier for Which Room?
Dining room: a single-point or draped fixture centered over the table — the Pearl Necklace or Collier set the mood beautifully.
Kitchen island: link strands into a long run to match the counter — coverage and a designer line of light.
Staircase & double-height foyer: spiral and cascading forms shine — the Pearl Alabaster or scalable Gabriel make a vertical statement.
Bedroom & nook: a softer single pendant like the Afralia or Dew Drops adds intimacy without overwhelming.
Installation Tips & Best Practices
Get the height right. ~30″ above a dining table; 30–36″ above a kitchen island. For staircases, hang so it reads from both floors.
Plan your anchors. For draped or linked looks, decide where each ceiling anchor goes first. Lay it out on the floor before climbing the ladder.
Mind the weight. Genuine-stone and large configurations are substantial — confirm your junction box and support can carry the load.
Hire a pro when in doubt. These are hardwired fixtures; a licensed electrician ensures safe wiring, grounding, and mounting.
Caring for Your Chandelier
Brass: a living finish that patinas over time. Embrace the warmth, or restore the shine occasionally with a gentle brass cleaner.
Alabaster: dust softly with a dry, lint-free cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals — the stone needs nothing more than gentle care.
Glass & crystal: wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth to keep refractions sparkling. Keep spare beads and connectors for any future reconfiguration.
Flexible Chandelier Installation FAQ
Can one chandelier be hung in different ways?
Yes — modular designs like our Pearl Necklace and Sean Lavin Collier hang as a single-point pendant, draped between two anchors, or linked end-to-end, all from the same fixture.
How do I drape a chandelier between two points?
Install two ceiling anchors and let the strand swag between them. Our brass-jointed necklaces and the Collier are engineered for this soft, necklace-like curve.
Can I customize length and number of lights?
Absolutely — customize size, head count, finish, and wire length directly with our designers online. Standard wire is 59″, extendable on request.
Are these hard to install?
Parts arrive neatly sorted and individually packaged; many complete a single-point install in under an hour. For draped, linked, or heavier setups, an electrician is recommended.
What's best for a high ceiling or staircase?
Spiral and cascading configurations — the spiral-capable Pearl Alabaster Necklace and the scalable Gabriel Chandelier are excellent choices.
