The Hollis Ringed Swag Chandelier hangs a cluster of small pendant drops from chains that swag outward across the ceiling before falling — each drop shaped like a smooth capsule with a flat disc encircling its waist, the way a ring circles a planet. The ring is not decoration. It catches the upward spill from the bulb and throws it back down, so each drop reads as a small bright halo rather than a bare point of light.

Design & Materials
What makes a swag chandelier different from every other fixture is that you decide the shape. A standard chandelier arrives with its geometry already fixed; this one arrives as a set of drops and a set of chains, and the curve of each swag depends on where you put the ceiling hooks. Pull them wide and the drops scatter across a whole ceiling like a constellation. Bring them close and they gather into a tight cluster over a table.
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.

Good to Know
How does a swag chandelier actually hang?
Differently from a normal chandelier, and this is the whole point of it.The wiring comes out of the electrical box in your ceiling as usual. But instead of the light hanging straight down from there, the chain runs sideways across the ceiling to hooks that you screw in wherever you want, and the drops hang down from those hooks.So you are drilling more than one hole — the box, plus one hook per drop. In exchange, you decide where every light ends up instead of being stuck with whatever spot the builder wired.
Can I hang it on a sloped or vaulted ceiling?
Yes, and it handles a slope better than most fixtures do. Chains hang straight down whatever angle the ceiling is, so every drop will sit perfectly upright. A fixture on a rigid rod would lean over; this one cannot.Two things to sort out. First, the round cover plate at the ceiling — the piece that hides the wiring — is made to sit flat, so on a slope it leaves a gap on the high side. A sloped ceiling adapter fixes it: a small angled plate that goes behind the cover. Any electrician knows the part and most hardware stores stock it. Tell us your ceiling angle when you order and we will confirm what you need.Second, remember the drops will hang at different distances from the floor if the hooks are at different heights on the slope. That can look wonderful — or accidental. Decide which you want before you drill, and measure each drop from the floor rather than from the ceiling.
My ceiling wire isn't above my table. Can I still use this?
Yes — this is exactly the problem a swag light solves, and it is why people buy them.If your electrical box sits in the middle of the room but your table is off to one side, a normal chandelier leaves you with a light that hangs in the wrong place. Here you keep the wiring where it is and swag the chain across to hooks above the table. No rewiring, no electrician cutting into your ceiling, no patching and repainting.The same applies if a beam, a vent, or a skylight sits where you would rather have the light.
How many drops do I need?
A simple rule: about one drop per foot of table or island length. A 5 ft island takes five, an 8 ft table takes seven to nine. For an open room with nothing underneath, pick by how much of the ceiling you want the fixture to cover.Then leave 12–18″ between the drops. Closer than that and they blur into one mass instead of reading as separate lights.
Is the ring really stone?
Yes. Every ring is cut and polished from genuine natural alabaster — not resin, not acrylic, not plastic made to look like stone.You can tell when it arrives: real stone is cool to the touch and heavier than it looks, and every ring carries its own faint veining. On a fixture with several drops the rings will not match each other exactly. That is what real stone does, not a fault.
