Alabaster Collection · Swag Chandelier
The Liora Beaded Alabaster Swag Chandelier is a continuous strand of natural alabaster beads, hung between small ceiling anchors so that each length falls into a soft curve of its own. One strand, several strands crossing, or a whole ceiling drawn on: the arrangement is decided by where the anchors go, not by us.
What makes it unlike anything else in the range: every single bead is lit. This is not a strand of decoration with a bulb somewhere behind it. Light runs the whole length, so each stone glows from within and the veining inside each bead shows individually.
The curve is not designed either. Hang anything flexible between two fixed points and gravity draws the same line, the one a necklace makes. Move the anchors closer and the strand falls deep and narrow; spread them wide and it stretches into a long shallow sweep.
Suited to a stairwell, a double-height entry, above a long dining table, or drawn across an open-plan ceiling.

Natural Alabaster
Alabaster is a natural stone, so every bead carries its own veining and subtle variation in color. One is pale and cloudy, the next carries a strong amber grain, the one after is almost clear. The strand you receive may therefore differ slightly from the images shown.
Layout & Installation
There is no frame and no canopy plate, just a strand and a set of small anchors. Where you put the anchors is the whole design, so the same product makes a different fixture in every room.
Hang anything flexible between two fixed points and gravity draws the line a necklace makes. Anchors close together give a deep, narrow fall; anchors far apart give a long shallow sweep. You choose two points, and the curve follows.
Two anchors, one curve. The quietest version: a single line drawn across a ceiling.
Best over a dining table or a long consoleSeveral strands sharing anchors, each hung deeper than the one above, so the piece gains real volume.
Best in a stairwell or a double-height entryTwo swags that overlap in the middle. Where they cross, the beads double up into a bright knot of light.
Best where the ceiling is seen from a landingOne strand carried across several anchors in a row, dipping between each, like a line drawn on the ceiling.
Best across an open-plan ceiling or a long hallwayGoing Further
Each chandelier is an independent strand with its own anchors, so two or three can share a ceiling and read as a single fixture. Nothing is joined and nothing is modified.
Three separate chandeliers, three sets of anchors, one arrangement.
Stagger the depths. Hang each piece noticeably deeper than the last, so the layers stay separate from every angle.
Offset the anchors. Shift each set sideways so the curves cross rather than stack behind each other.
Three is usually the limit. Beyond that a ceiling starts to read as busy rather than layered.
One switch or several. On one switch it reads as a single piece; on separate switches you can light one strand for an evening and all three for guests.
Size & Strand Length
Every strand is built from the same 6 cm (2.4″) alabaster beads. Tap a length to see it drawn to scale, with the exact number of beads.
A strand is always longer than the gap it spans, and that surplus is what falls into the curve. Fix a 300 cm strand across a narrow span for a deep, dramatic sweep, or across a wide span for a long shallow arc.
Total length 100 cm / 39.4″
A single contained curve over a round dining table, a breakfast nook or an entry.
The span between anchors is always shorter than the strand; the extra length forms the curve.
Total length 200 cm / 78.7″
Right for a rectangular dining table, a kitchen island, or a stairwell seen from one landing.
The span between anchors is always shorter than the strand; the extra length forms the curve.
Total length 300 cm / 118.1″
A double-height entry, a long hallway, or a stairwell viewed from several floors.
The span between anchors is always shorter than the strand; the extra length forms the curve.
Total length 400 cm / 157.5″
For open-plan ceilings and atriums, drawing a line right through the space.
The span between anchors is always shorter than the strand; the extra length forms the curve.
Total length 500 cm / 196.9″
The longest strand, for a running line across a large room or deep layers in a tall stairwell.
The span between anchors is always shorter than the strand; the extra length forms the curve.

Technical Drawing
Every length uses the same bead, so a longer strand simply adds more glowing stones along the curve.

The Design
No frame. No canopy. No body. Just a line.
Take almost any chandelier apart and most of what you are holding is not light. It is structure: a frame to give it shape, arms to hold the shades out, a canopy plate to hide the wiring. All of it hangs there in daylight doing nothing.
Liora began by asking whether any of that was required. A strand of beads needs no frame, because the ceiling itself provides the structure: two small anchors and gravity between them. What is left is a line of glowing stone and a ceiling behind it.
Every bead in that line is lit, so the veining inside every stone shows individually: one pale and cloudy, the next with a strong amber grain. Strung together they read as a line of separate small warmths, the difference between quarried stone and moulded resin.
The curve is not ours either. We send you a length, and your ceiling decides the rest. That is why no two installations are the same: the fixture is finished in your room rather than in our workshop.
A length of stone. Two points. Gravity does the drawing.
Questions, Answered
How it fixes to your ceiling, what we need from you, and what arrives in the box.
No. Each strand runs between two or more ceiling anchors, so you need several fixing points with wiring; send us a photo and we will mark where every anchor goes.
Your ceiling height, the span you want to cover, and what sits underneath. We then confirm the length and cut the strand before it ships.
It depends on the gap between the anchors: close anchors give a deep drop, wide anchors a shallow sweep. Tell us the depth you want and we will work out the spacing.
Yes. Light runs the full length of the strand, so each stone glows from within and shows its own veining.
No. The warm white 3000K LED is built into the strand, so there is nothing to buy or replace.
Yes, if you ask when you order. Tell us which dimmer switch you plan to use so we can confirm it works.
Yes. Hang each strand noticeably deeper than the last and offset the anchors sideways; three is usually the limit in one space.
The weight is spread across several anchors, but each must be fixed into the structure above, not plasterboard alone. Ask us for the weight of your length.
Keep the lowest bead 30–36″ above a dining table and 7 ft above any walkway. In a stairwell, check every landing it passes.
They are cut from natural stone, so every bead carries its own veining. A strand where every bead matched would have to be resin.
Send us photos within 24 hours of delivery and we will arrange a replacement. Please do not open or re-string it yourself.
Wipe the beads with a soft dry cloth and keep water off the porous stone. It is for indoor dry rooms only, so not bathrooms.

Natural stone lighting
The Vidir lighting edit
Most shades block light and let it out at the edges. Yet, this stone-textured lampshade manages to achieve exactly that.
Alabaster is translucent. Switch it on and the whole shade lights up from within, veining and all, instead of glowing only where the bulb sits. There is no bright spot to look at, because the light source is the entire surface.
The veining was decided underground, long before anyone cut it. Every shade carries its own pattern and its own faint colour shift — so the piece that arrives is not the piece in the photograph, and that is the point.
Resin and acrylic imitations go amber and brittle within a few years of sitting next to a warm bulb. Stone does not age that way. The shade you unpack is the shade you will have in twenty years.
Designed for better living
Use warm white (2700K). The stone itself has an off-white, creamy tone; cool light passing through it makes it look grayish and dingy, whereas warm light brings out that honey-like hue seen in the photos.
Alabaster is a natural stone that absorbs water and cleaning agents, which can leave permanent stains. Disconnect the power, let the bulb cool down, and then wipe the fixture with a soft, dry cloth—do not use water or spray cleaners.
The density of the stone is far greater than that of a glass shade of the same size; ensure the ceiling's load-bearing capacity is sufficient for safety.

Our product
Alabaster Cylindrical Chain Chandelier
Alabaster is translucent, so the light travels through the stone rather than escaping at the edges — the whole shade glows, veining and all. Every piece carries a pattern that was decided underground, which is why no two are alike.
Resin is cast in moulds, so the "veining" repeats from one shade to the next and the light passes through evenly with no depth to it. It also ages differently: sitting close to a warm bulb, resin tends to amber and grow brittle within a few years.
THE ART OF ALABASTER
The natural texture of alabaster brings a warm, mineral quality to the space. (Please contact us if you require a specific texture.)
A pure white texture reminiscent of fresh snow—warm, smooth, and refined.
Deep, inky patterns flow across a white base.
A dynamic pattern resembling a bolt of lightning streaking across the sky.
Fine, intricate cracks evoking the aesthetic beauty of a sheet of ice at the moment it shatters.
A pattern as light and airy as falling snowflakes, with every single flake unique.
Material · Method · Light
Every texture tells a story of natural light and patient craftsmanship.





Crafted from select natural alabaster, preserving its unique veining.
Meticulously cut and shaped by artisans.
Repeatedly ground and polished for a smooth, refined texture.
Carefully assembled and quality-inspected.
