The Ondine Faceted Alabaster Drop Pendant is built from two cones set base to base — a solid metal cap above, a tapered alabaster point below — meeting at their widest line and narrowing in opposite directions. The metal half stays dark and holds the fixture; the stone half glows. Because the light has nowhere to go but down through a narrowing point, it leaves the tip as a concentrated, warm spill rather than a general wash.

Design & Materials
The shape is not decorative. Anything that tapers to a point reads as falling — a raindrop, a plumb bob, a stalactite — and the eye follows it downward whether you intend that or not. One pendant is a full stop. Hang thirteen at staggered lengths and they stop being fixtures and become a movement: a slow spiral of stone descending through a stairwell, each point a little lower than the last, none of them level with any other.
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 long is the cord? Will it hang low enough?
It depends which version you buy, and this catches people out. The single pendant comes on a short 19.7″ cord — right for a bedside table, too short for a dining table. The cluster versions hang 59.1″ in total, which suits a table or a stairwell.So if you want a single drop over a dining table, ask us for a longer cord when you order. We supply longer lengths on request — but it has to be arranged before it ships, not after.
Does a bigger cluster hang lower?
No — and this is the opposite of what most people expect. Every cluster drops the same 59.1″, whether it has three lights or twelve.What grows is the ceiling plate: 5.9″ across on the 3-light, 15.7″ on the 12-light. So a bigger count spreads wider, not longer. Choose by how much ceiling you want covered, not by how far down you want it to reach. If you need more length for a tall stairwell, that's a cord question — tell us your ceiling height.
Which count should I choose?
3 lights for a breakfast nook or a small round table. 5 lights for a standard dining table, an entry, or a kitchen island — this is the one most rooms want. 7 or 9 for a double-height entry or an open stairwell. 12 for a three-storey void, a lobby, or a banquet table.The single pendant is a different thing again: buy two or three of them and set the spacing yourself, rather than accepting a fixed plate.
How low should it hang?
Over a dining table, the lowest point should sit 30–36″ above the tabletop — lower than feels right at first, but nobody walks under a table. Anywhere people do walk, keep 7 ft of clearance above the floor. Every cord shortens independently during installation, so you set each height once you can see the group in the room.
Should they all hang at the same height?
No. The cords arrive cut to different lengths on purpose — a cluster hung level looks like an accident, staggered heights look like a decision.Hang them all long first, stand back and look at the group as a whole, then shorten one cord at a time. Measure from the tabletop or the floor rather than from the ceiling — that's the distance your eye actually reads.
