The Tamsin Capsule Alabaster Rod Pendant hangs capsules of natural alabaster from rigid metal rods in a dark bronze finish — each one capped by a domed fitting, joined by a small sphere, and finished with a tiny finial beneath the stone. Available as a single pendant, or as a 3-light or 6-light cluster on a round ceiling plate with the rods cut to staggered lengths.

Design & Materials
The rods are the whole argument. Almost every cluster chandelier hangs on cords, and a cord does what a cord does — it twists, it swings when a door opens, and over a year the careful stagger you set on installation day drifts quietly out of alignment. A rod cannot. The heights are cut before it ships and they stay exactly where they were put, which is why a rod cluster reads as engineered while a cord cluster reads as arranged. The trade-off is honest: the lengths are decided at the time of order, not on site.
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
Can the rods be shortened when it's installed?
No — they're cut before it ships. Unlike a cord, a rigid rod can't be adjusted on the day. Send us your ceiling height before ordering and we'll cut them to suit.
Why rods instead of cords, then?
Because a rod never swings, twists or drifts. The stagger you receive is the stagger you'll still have in ten years. Cords slowly move out of alignment; rods can't.
Which size do I need?
Measure your ceiling height, not your table. This cluster grows downward — a 15-head is only 10″ wider than a 3-head, but drops 8 feet further. Tell us the height and we'll match it.
Will it light my kitchen counter?
Not for chopping. The capsule is closed at the bottom, so light glows through the stone rather than shining down. Beautiful over an island — but add a task light if you cook under it.
Is there a bulb to replace?
No. The LED is built in at warm white 3000K — nothing to buy and nothing to match between capsules.
