Capiz Shell Flush Mount Light – Strand Design

he Capiz Shell Flush Mount Light features layers of hand-cut shell discs suspended from a compact metal canopy, creating a soft, luminous texture and elegant cascading effect.

Radilum's "Shell" mother-of-pearl cascading pendant and chandelier series has its origin in a playful interplay of light and mother-of-pearl shells or silver chain. These delightful chandeliers are a striking decorative element even when unlit, and when illuminated, they give any room a festive, slightly oriental atmosphere.

Hundreds of hand-cut mother-of-pearl shell discs are strung on fine metal chains and suspended from a compact metal canopy, forming a dense, luminous cascade. Stirred by a gentle breeze, the shells make a soft tinkling sound – a quiet, sensory detail unique to this fixture. Every piece is entirely hand-made.

FAQ

What is it made of?

The frame and canopy are metal, and the cascading shade is made from hundreds of hand-cut white mother-of-pearl shell discs strung on fine metal chains. Each fixture is entirely hand-made.

Which size should I choose?

Single Layer suits a smaller dining area or reading nook. Two Layers and Three Layers add height and volume for taller rooms or stairwells. The D100 and D150 versions are the true statement pieces, best for grand entryways, double-height foyers, or large open dining spaces.

What bulbs does it take?

It takes standard E26 or E27 base bulbs, so you can choose your own brightness, warmth, and whether to use LED or Edison-style bulbs. Bulbs are not included.

Does it make noise?

Yes, gently. When stirred by a light breeze – from an open window, HVAC airflow, or a ceiling fan – the shell discs can produce a soft, natural tinkling sound. It's a quiet, ambient detail rather than a loud chime.

How do I clean it?

Dust gently with a soft, dry cloth or a hair dryer on a cool, low setting. Avoid soaking the shells or using harsh chemical cleaners, which can dull their natural nacre finish.

Does this need to be hardwired?

Yes – this is a ceiling-mounted chandelier intended for professional installation. Given the weight and drop height of the larger sizes (especially the D150 x H300cm version), a licensed electrician is strongly recommended.

Will mine look exactly like the photos?

Close, but not identical. Because each shell disc is hand-cut and hand-strung from natural mother-of-pearl, slight variation in shape, sheen, and iridescence between pieces is normal and part of the material's character – not a defect.

As a hand-made fixture using natural mother-of-pearl shell, disc shape, sheen, and iridescence vary slightly from piece to piece – no two chandeliers are exactly alike.
