Natural Tiered Capiz Shell Chandelier
The Natural Tiered Capiz Shell Chandelier hangs hundreds of natural capiz shells in tapering tiers from a slim metal frame, each shell strung on its own small link. Capiz is thin e nough to be translucent in its own right, so the light does not pass through the shade — it passes into it. so a lit capiz shell chandelier never glows evenly: some scales come up bright, others stay milky, and the surface reads as a shifting pearl-warm field rather than a single lampshade. Unlit it holds its own — cream, iridescent, quiet against a white ceiling. The tiers taper as they fall, so from across the room it resolves into one soft mass and only separates into individual shells when you stand under it. Part of our shell lighting series, which is built to be used together rather than alone. The same tiered shells sit on a nightstand or console in the round shell tiered table lamp, and flatten against the wall in the shell wall lamp — so a bedroom can carry the material overhead, at the bedside and beside the mirror without repeating the same fixture three times. /* ===== Vidir — Natural Shell Variation Banner (#5b2d20) ===== */ .vnb{ --brand:#5b2d20; --brand-dk:#3d1e15; --brand-lt:#7d4534; --paper:#faf7f5; --serif:Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; --sans:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,"Segoe UI",sans-serif; max-width:1000px;margin:44px auto;font-family:var(--sans);line-height:1.7; } .vnb *{box-sizing:border-box;} .vnb-card{ position:relative;overflow:hidden; border-radius:14px; background:linear-gradient(150deg,var(--brand) 0%,var(--brand-dk) 100%); box-shadow:0 14px 44px rgba(91,45,32,.2); } /* ---- image band ---- */ .vnb-img{position:relative;line-height:0;background:var(--brand-dk);} .vnb-img img{width:100%;height:100%;object-fit:cover;display:block;aspect-ratio:16/6;} /* soft fade into the text panel below */ .vnb-img::after{ content:'';position:absolute;left:0;right:0;bottom:0;height:38%;pointer-events:none; background:linear-gradient(to top,rgba(61,30,21,.85) 0%,transparent 100%); } /* ---- text panel ---- */ .vnb-body{ position:relative; padding:48px 60px 50px; text-align:center; } /* subtle texture, same brand tone */ .vnb-body::before{ content:'';position:absolute;inset:0;pointer-events:none; background: radial-gradient(ellipse 60% 45% at 18% 22%, rgba(250,247,245,.05) 0%, transparent 60%), radial-gradient(ellipse 50% 40% at 84% 78%, rgba(250,247,245,.04) 0%, transparent 60%); } /* corner rules */ .vnb-body::after{ content:'';position:absolute;top:22px;left:22px; width:42px;height:42px; border-top:1px solid rgba(250,247,245,.4); border-left:1px solid rgba(250,247,245,.4); } .vnb-corner{ position:absolute;bottom:22px;right:22px; width:42px;height:42px; border-bottom:1px solid rgba(250,247,245,.4); border-right:1px solid rgba(250,247,245,.4); } .vnb-in{position:relative;z-index:2;} /* eyebrow */ .vnb-eyebrow{ display:inline-flex;align-items:center;gap:12px;margin-bottom:18px; } .vnb-eyebrow .r{height:1px;width:34px;background:rgba(250,247,245,.55);} .vnb-eyebrow .t{ font-size:10px;letter-spacing:.28em;text-transform:uppercase; color:rgba(250,247,245,.72);font-weight:600; } /* title */ .vnb-in h3{ font-family:var(--serif);font-size:2em;font-weight:400;color:var(--paper); margin:0 0 10px;letter-spacing:.5px;line-height:1.24; } .vnb-in h3 em{font-style:italic;} .vnb-sub{ font-family:var(--serif);font-size:1.04em;font-style:italic; color:rgba(250,247,245,.58); margin:0 auto 26px;padding-bottom:24px;max-width:520px; border-bottom:1px solid rgba(250,247,245,.16);letter-spacing:.2px; } /* body */ .vnb-in > p{ font-size:.98em;color:rgba(250,247,245,.78); margin:0 auto;line-height:1.9;letter-spacing:.15px;max-width:640px; } .vnb-in > p strong{color:var(--paper);font-weight:600;} /* key line */ .vnb-key{ display:inline-flex;align-items:center;gap:12px;margin-top:28px; padding:15px 24px; background:rgba(250,247,245,.08); border:1px solid rgba(250,247,245,.2); border-radius:50px; } .vnb-key svg{flex:0 0 16px;width:16px;height:16px;color:var(--paper);} .vnb-key span{ font-family:var(--serif);font-size:.95em;color:rgba(250,247,245,.92); line-height:1.5;letter-spacing:.2px; } .vnb-key span strong{color:var(--paper);font-weight:600;} @media (max-width:768px){ .vnb{margin:30px auto;} .vnb-img img{aspect-ratio:16/9;} .vnb-body{padding:34px 24px 36px;} .vnb-body::after,.vnb-corner{width:32px;height:32px;} .vnb-body::after{top:16px;left:16px;} .vnb-corner{bottom:16px;right:16px;} .vnb-in h3{font-size:1.46em;} .vnb-key{padding:13px 18px;gap:10px;border-radius:10px;} .vnb-key span{font-size:.88em;text-align:left;} } Natural Capiz Shell Naturally Unique Translucency No two shells are ever the same Capiz is a natural material, sorted and matched by hand rather than cut to a pattern. Every shell carries its own faint grain and its own degree of opacity, so a lit fixture never glows perfectly evenly — some discs come up bright, others stay milky. The piece you receive may therefore differ slightly from the images shown. An inherent characteristic of real shell — not a quality defect. /* ===== Vidir — What You See Is What You Get ===== */ .vwy{ --brand:#5b2d20;--brand-dk:#3d1e15;--brand-lt:#7d4534; --gold:#b08d57; --paper:#faf7f5;--cream:#fdfaf7;--line:#e8ddd8;--ink:#2d1810;--body:#5a4a3f; --serif:Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; --sans:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,"Segoe UI",sans-serif; max-width:900px;margin:44px auto;font-family:var(--sans);color:var(--ink);line-height:1.7; } .vwy *{box-sizing:border-box;} /* header */ .vwy-head{text-align:center;margin:0 auto 26px;} .vwy-line{display:block;width:50px;height:1px;background:var(--brand);margin:0 auto 16px;} .vwy-head h2{ font-family:var(--serif);font-size:1.72em;font-weight:400;color:var(--ink); margin:0;letter-spacing:.3px;line-height:1.3; } .vwy-head h2 em{color:var(--brand-lt);font-style:italic;} /* photo pair */ .vwy-shots{display:grid;grid-template-columns:1fr 1fr;gap:18px;margin-bottom:20px;} .vwy-shot{ position:relative;border-radius:12px;overflow:hidden; box-shadow:0 10px 26px rgba(91,45,32,.12);line-height:0;background:#1a1310; } .vwy-shot img{width:100%;height:100%;object-fit:cover;display:block;aspect-ratio:4/3;} .vwy-shot::after{ content:'';position:absolute;left:0;right:0;bottom:0;height:52%;pointer-events:none; background:linear-gradient(to top,rgba(26,19,16,.82) 0%,rgba(26,19,16,.35) 45%,transparent 100%); } .vwy-badge{ position:absolute;top:14px;left:14px;z-index:3; font-family:var(--sans);font-size:9.5px;letter-spacing:.15em;text-transform:uppercase;font-weight:700; color:#fff;background:linear-gradient(140deg,var(--brand) 0%,var(--brand-dk) 100%); padding:6px 13px;border-radius:4px;box-shadow:0 5px 14px rgba(26,19,16,.4); } .vwy-cap{ position:absolute;left:20px;right:20px;bottom:16px;z-index:3; font-family:var(--serif);font-style:italic;font-size:.95em;color:#fff; line-height:1.45;text-shadow:0 1px 6px rgba(0,0,0,.5); } /* trust cards */ .vwy-cards{display:grid;grid-template-columns:repeat(3,1fr);gap:16px;} .vwy-card{ border:1px solid var(--line);border-radius:12px; background:linear-gradient(180deg,#fff 0%,var(--cream) 100%); padding:22px 20px 24px;transition:transform .35s ease,box-shadow .35s ease; } .vwy-card:hover{transform:translateY(-3px);box-shadow:0 12px 26px rgba(91,45,32,.1);} .vwy-ic{ width:38px;height:38px;border-radius:50%; background:linear-gradient(140deg,var(--brand) 0%,var(--brand-dk) 100%); display:flex;align-items:center;justify-content:center;margin-bottom:14px; } .vwy-ic svg{width:17px;height:17px;color:var(--paper);} .vwy-card h4{ font-family:var(--serif);font-size:1.12em;font-weight:600;color:var(--ink); margin:0 0 8px;letter-spacing:.2px;line-height:1.28; } .vwy-card p{font-size:.88em;color:var(--body);margin:0;line-height:1.72;} .vwy-card p strong{color:var(--brand);font-weight:600;} @media (max-width:820px){ .vwy{margin:30px auto;} .vwy-head h2{font-size:1.34em;} .vwy-shots{grid-template-columns:1fr;gap:14px;} .vwy-cards{grid-template-columns:1fr;gap:12px;} .vwy-cap{font-size:.9em;left:16px;right:16px;bottom:13px;} } What You See Is What You Get Real Photo Natural shell strands, before they go on the frame Real Photo The tiered frame and hardware, laid out before assembly Described Honestly Materials, sizes and finishes are listed exactly as they are — including where natural shell varies in grain and opacity from piece to piece. Real Shell, Not Resin Natural capiz shell on an iron frame — never moulded resin, never printed plastic film made to look like shell. Photographed as it leaves our workshop, not rendered. Ships Flat, Not Assembled The frame travels in pieces and the shell strands are wrapped separately — exactly as shown above. A tiered shell fixture shipped assembled would not survive the journey; flat-packing is why it arrives intact. /* ===== Nerine Scalloped Capiz Shell Chandelier — Details (One Per Row) ===== */ .vdt{ --ink:#2d1810;--mah:#5C3220;--mah-dk:#3d2014;--mah-lt:#8a4f37; --gold:#c9a36b;--gold-soft:#e6c89a;--cream:#faf6f2;--line:#eee6dd; --serif:Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; --sans:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,"Segoe UI",sans-serif; --num:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; max-width:900px;margin:40px auto;font-family:var(--sans);color:var(--ink);line-height:1.7; } .vdt *{box-sizing:border-box;} /* header */ .vdt-head{text-align:center;margin:0 auto 28px;padding-bottom:20px;border-bottom:1px solid var(--line);} .vdt-line{display:block;width:50px;height:1px;background:var(--mah);margin:0 auto 14px;} .vdt-eyebrow{font-size:11px;letter-spacing:.24em;text-transform:uppercase;color:var(--mah-lt);font-weight:600;display:block;margin-bottom:11px;} .vdt-head h2{font-family:var(--serif);font-size:1.62em;font-weight:400;color:var(--ink);margin:0;letter-spacing:.5px;} .vdt-head h2 em{color:var(--mah);font-style:italic;} /* ===== single-column spec list ===== */ .vdt-list{ border:1px solid var(--line);border-radius:10px;overflow:hidden; background:#fff;margin-bottom:26px; } .vdt-row{ display:flex;align-items:center;gap:22px; padding:16px 26px;border-bottom:1px solid var(--line); transition:background .3s ease; } .vdt-row:last-child{border-bottom:none;} .vdt-row:nth-child(even){background:#fdfaf6;} .vdt-row:hover{background:var(--cream);} .vdt-row .l{ flex:0 0 180px; font-family:var(--serif);font-size:.94em; color:var(--mah-lt);font-weight:600;line-height:1.5;letter-spacing:.2px; } .vdt-row .v{ flex:1;min-width:0; font-size:.95em;color:var(--mah-dk);font-weight:600;line-height:1.6; } .vdt-row .v.n{font-family:var(--num);letter-spacing:.3px;} .vdt-row .v small{ display:block;font-size:.82em;color:#8a7060;font-weight:400;font-style:italic;margin-top:3px; } /* inline finish dots */ .vdt-sw{display:inline-flex;align-items:center;gap:7px;margin-right:18px;white-space:nowrap;} .vdt-sw i{width:13px;height:13px;border-radius:50%;border:1px solid rgba(0,0,0,.14);display:inline-block;} /* ===== good to know — one per row ===== */ .vdt-notes{ border:1px solid var(--line);border-radius:10px;overflow:hidden;background:#fff; } .vdt-nh{ padding:15px 26px;border-bottom:1px solid var(--line); background:linear-gradient(135deg,#fff 0%,var(--cream) 100%); } .vdt-nh h3{ font-family:var(--serif);font-size:1.1em;font-weight:600;color:var(--mah-dk); margin:0;letter-spacing:.3px; } .vdt-note{ display:flex;gap:15px;align-items:flex-start; padding:18px 26px;border-bottom:1px solid var(--line); } .vdt-note:last-child{border-bottom:none;} .vdt-note svg{flex:0 0 16px;width:16px;height:16px;color:var(--gold);margin-top:4px;} .vdt-note .nt{flex:1;min-width:0;} .vdt-note .nt h4{ font-family:var(--serif);font-size:1em;font-weight:600;color:var(--ink); margin:0 0 5px;letter-spacing:.2px; } .vdt-note .nt p{font-size:.89em;color:#5a4a3f;margin:0;line-height:1.75;} .vdt-note .nt p strong{color:var(--mah);font-weight:600;} @media (max-width:768px){ .vdt{margin:28px auto;} .vdt-head h2{font-size:1.3em;} .vdt-row{flex-direction:column;align-items:flex-start;gap:4px;padding:14px 18px;} .vdt-row .l{flex:0 0 auto;} .vdt-sw{margin-bottom:4px;} .vdt-note{padding:16px 18px;} .vdt-nh{padding:14px 18px;} } Specifications The Details Material Natural Capiz Shell · Iron Frame · Metal Hardware Shell sorted and matched by hand — no two panels identical. Shell colour White Translucent in its own right; opacity varies shell to shell. Finish options Chrome Gold Chrome keeps the shell cool and coastal; gold warms it. How it's made Cutting · sanding · bending · splicing Light source LED or Edison bulb Warm white (2700K) recommended — cooler light drains the warmth out of the shell. Bulb base E26 / E27 Bulbs not included. Power Max 40W Voltage AC 110–240V Control Push-button switch Dimmable when fitted with a dimmable bulb — see the note below. Cable length 150 cm / 59″ Shortened on site to suit your ceiling, or lengthened before dispatch on request. Mounting Ceiling — hardwired Mounts to a standard junction box. All hardware included; professional installation recommended. Environment Indoor only · dry locations Preparation time 5–10 days Made and inspected at our own workshop before dispatch. Good to Know The shells move, and they are meant to Strung on individual links, the shells register air movement — a door opening, someone walking past — and shift very slightly, sometimes with a soft click. Most people find this is the point of a shell fixture. If you would rather it stayed still, avoid hanging it directly beneath an air vent or in front of an open window. Need a longer cable? Every fixture ships with a 150 cm / 59″ cable, which shortens on site during installation. For a tall stairwell, an atrium or a double-height entry, contact us before ordering and we will lengthen it before dispatch — much easier done in the workshop than on a ladder. About dimming Dimming depends on the bulb, not the fixture. Fit a dimmable E26 / E27 bulb and the chandelier will dim; /* ===== Nerine Scalloped Capiz Shell Chandelier — Size Selector ===== */ .vsz{ --ink:#2d1810;--mah:#5C3220;--mah-dk:#3d2014;--mah-lt:#8a4f37; --gold:#c9a36b;--gold-soft:#e6c89a;--cream:#faf6f2;--line:#eee6dd; --serif:Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; --sans:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,"Segoe UI",sans-serif; max-width:1180px;margin:40px auto;font-family:var(--sans);color:var(--ink);line-height:1.7; } .vsz *{box-sizing:border-box;} /* header */ .vsz-head{text-align:center;margin:0 auto 30px;padding-bottom:20px;border-bottom:1px solid var(--line);max-width:760px;} .vsz-line{display:block;width:50px;height:1px;background:var(--mah);margin:0 auto 14px;} .vsz-eyebrow{font-size:11px;letter-spacing:.24em;text-transform:uppercase;color:var(--mah-lt);font-weight:600;display:block;margin-bottom:11px;} .vsz-head h2{font-family:var(--serif);font-size:1.62em;font-weight:400;color:var(--ink);margin:0;letter-spacing:.5px;} .vsz-head h2 em{color:var(--mah);font-style:italic;} .vsz-head p{font-size:.93em;color:#7a6456;margin:12px auto 0;max-width:600px;} /* ===== cards grid — no scrolling, reflows on mobile ===== */ .vsz-grid{ display:grid; grid-template-columns:repeat(auto-fit,minmax(270px,1fr)); gap:16px;margin-bottom:26px; } .vsz-card{ border:1px solid var(--line);border-radius:10px;overflow:hidden; background:#fff;display:flex;flex-direction:column; transition:border-color .35s,box-shadow .35s,transform .35s; } .vsz-card:hover{border-color:#c9a890;box-shadow:0 10px 26px rgba(92,50,32,.1);transform:translateY(-3px);} /* popular highlight */ .vsz-card.pop{border-color:var(--gold);box-shadow:0 6px 20px rgba(201,163,107,.16);} .vsz-card.pop:hover{border-color:var(--mah);} /* card head */ .vsz-ch{ padding:16px 20px;border-bottom:1px solid var(--line); background:linear-gradient(135deg,#fff 0%,var(--cream) 100%); display:flex;align-items:center;justify-content:space-between;gap:10px; } .vsz-card.pop .vsz-ch{background:linear-gradient(135deg,var(--cream) 0%,#f4e9d9 100%);} .vsz-cfg{ font-family:var(--serif);font-size:1.16em;font-weight:600;color:var(--mah-dk); letter-spacing:.3px; } .vsz-badge{ font-size:9px;letter-spacing:.12em;text-transform:uppercase;font-weight:700; color:#fff;background:var(--mah);padding:4px 10px;border-radius:50px;flex-shrink:0; } /* card body */ .vsz-cb{padding:18px 20px 20px;flex:1;display:flex;flex-direction:column;gap:14px;} /* dimension block */ .vsz-dim{ padding:12px 14px;background:var(--cream);border-radius:6px;border:1px solid var(--line); text-align:center; } .vsz-dim .in{ display:block;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:1.02em;font-weight:700; color:var(--mah);letter-spacing:.3px;line-height:1.3; } .vsz-dim .cm{ display:block;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:.8em;color:#8a7060;margin-top:3px; } /* rows */ .vsz-r{display:flex;gap:9px;align-items:flex-start;} .vsz-r .l{ flex:0 0 auto;font-size:9px;letter-spacing:.1em;text-transform:uppercase; color:#8a7060;font-weight:700;padding-top:3px;min-width:66px; } .vsz-r .v{flex:1;font-size:.87em;color:#5a4a3f;line-height:1.6;} .vsz-r .v b{color:var(--mah);font-weight:600;} .vsz-r .v.ht{ font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-weight:700;color:var(--mah);font-size:.9em; } /* form label */ .vsz-form{ display:inline-block;font-size:9.5px;letter-spacing:.12em;text-transform:uppercase; font-weight:700;padding:3px 9px;border-radius:50px;border:1px solid var(--line); background:var(--cream);color:var(--mah); } /* tip note inside card */ .vsz-tip-in{ font-size:.8em;color:#8a7060;font-style:italic;line-height:1.55; padding-top:11px;border-top:1px dashed var(--line);margin-top:auto; } /* ===== sizing tip box ===== */ .vsz-tip{ border:1px solid var(--line);border-left:4px solid var(--gold);border-radius:0 8px 8px 0; background:linear-gradient(135deg,#fff 0%,var(--cream) 100%); padding:22px 26px; } .vsz-tip h4{ font-family:var(--serif);font-size:1.1em;font-weight:500;color:var(--ink); margin:0 0 9px;letter-spacing:.3px; } .vsz-tip p{font-size:.9em;color:#5a4a3f;margin:0 0 12px;line-height:1.78;} .vsz-tip p:last-child{margin:0;} .vsz-tip p strong{color:var(--mah-dk);font-weight:600;} @media (max-width:768px){ .vsz{margin:28px auto;} .vsz-head h2{font-size:1.3em;} .vsz-grid{grid-template-columns:1fr;gap:14px;} .vsz-tip{padding:18px 20px;} } Size Guide Which Size for Your Space Six sizes in two forms — three tall and narrow, three broad and shallow.

Widest in the range — it needs floor area, not ceiling height. Sizing Tip Decide the form before the size. The first three are taller than they are wide and fall as a column — right for an entry, a stairwell landing, a narrow hall, or anywhere the eye travels vertically. The last three are wider than they are tall and spread as tiers — right for a dining table, a seating area, or a room that needs its centre anchored. Two very different pieces from the same shells. Then size it. For an open room, add the length and width in feet and read the sum as inches — a 11 × 13 ft room points at roughly 24 in. Over a round table, ignore the room and take two thirds to three quarters of the table diameter. Keep 7 ft (2.1 m) of floor clearance anywhere people walk, and hang the lowest shell 30–36 in above a tabletop. Height is the easy part: the 150 cm / 59″ cable shortens on site, and we will lengthen it before dispatch for a tall stairwell if you tell us the ceiling height when you order. Diameter is the part you cannot change afterwards — so if you are between two, take the larger over a table and the smaller in a walkway. /* ===== Vidir — Every Part, Photographed ===== */ .vct{ --brand:#5b2d20;--brand-dk:#3d1e15;--brand-lt:#7d4534; --gold:#b08d57;--gold-lt:#d9bd8a; --paper:#faf7f5;--cream:#fdfaf7;--line:#e8ddd8;--ink:#2d1810;--body:#5a4a3f; --serif:Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; --sans:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,"Segoe UI",sans-serif; max-width:1000px;margin:44px auto;font-family:var(--sans);color:var(--ink);line-height:1.7; } .vct *{box-sizing:border-box;} /* ---- header ---- */ .vct-head{text-align:center;margin:0 auto 30px;max-width:640px;} .vct-line{display:block;width:50px;height:1px;background:var(--brand);margin:0 auto 15px;} .vct-eyebrow{ font-size:10px;letter-spacing:.28em;text-transform:uppercase; color:var(--brand-lt);font-weight:600;display:block;margin-bottom:12px; } .vct-head h2{ font-family:var(--serif);font-size:1.72em;font-weight:400;color:var(--ink); margin:0;letter-spacing:.3px;line-height:1.28; } .vct-head h2 em{color:var(--brand);font-style:italic;} .vct-head p{font-size:.93em;color:#8a7268;margin:13px auto 0;line-height:1.75;} /* ---- shared shot ---- */ .vct-shot{ position:relative;line-height:0;background:#efe9e3; border-radius:10px;overflow:hidden; } .vct-shot img{width:100%;height:100%;object-fit:cover;display:block;} .vct-no{ position:absolute;top:12px;left:12px;z-index:2; font-family:var(--serif);font-size:11px;letter-spacing:.14em;font-weight:600; color:#fff;background:linear-gradient(140deg,var(--brand) 0%,var(--brand-dk) 100%); padding:5px 11px;border-radius:4px;box-shadow:0 4px 12px rgba(45,24,16,.32); } /* ---- hero: image left, text right ---- */ .vct-hero{ display:grid;grid-template-columns:1.15fr 1fr;gap:26px;align-items:center; margin:0 0 22px;padding:0; } .vct-hero .vct-shot img{aspect-ratio:16/10;} .vct-hero figcaption h4{ font-family:var(--serif);font-size:1.3em;font-weight:400;color:var(--brand); margin:0 0 10px;line-height:1.3;letter-spacing:.2px; } .vct-hero figcaption p{font-size:.95em;color:var(--body);margin:0;line-height:1.85;} .vct-hero figcaption p strong{color:var(--brand-dk);font-weight:600;} /* ---- grid of four ---- */ .vct-grid{display:grid;grid-template-columns:repeat(2,1fr);gap:22px;margin-bottom:24px;} .vct-item{margin:0;} .vct-item .vct-shot img{aspect-ratio:4/3;} .vct-item figcaption{padding:14px 2px 0;} .vct-item figcaption h4{ font-family:var(--serif);font-size:1.08em;font-weight:600;color:var(--ink); margin:0 0 6px;line-height:1.32;letter-spacing:.2px; } .vct-item figcaption p{font-size:.88em;color:var(--body);margin:0;line-height:1.75;} .vct-item figcaption p strong{color:var(--brand);font-weight:600;} /* ---- closing bar ---- */ .vct-foot{ border:1px solid var(--line);border-left:3px solid var(--gold); background:linear-gradient(90deg,var(--cream) 0%,#fff 88%); padding:20px 24px; } .vct-foot p{font-size:.9em;color:var(--body);margin:0 0 9px;line-height:1.8;} .vct-foot p:last-child{margin:0;} .vct-foot p strong{color:var(--brand-dk);font-weight:600;} @media (max-width:820px){ .vct{margin:30px auto;} .vct-head h2{font-size:1.34em;} .vct-hero{grid-template-columns:1fr;gap:16px;} .vct-hero .vct-shot img{aspect-ratio:16/11;} .vct-hero figcaption h4{font-size:1.14em;} .vct-grid{grid-template-columns:1fr;gap:20px;} .vct-foot{padding:18px 18px;} } Every Part, Photographed The Parts We'd Want to See First Anyone can style a hero shot. These are the five parts a chandelier is actually judged on — shell, canopy, sockets, frame and rings — photographed as they are. 01 Natural shell, disc by disc Look closely and the discs are not identical: some read almost clear, others stay milky, and the edges carry the faint grain of a natural material. That is real capiz, not moulded resin or printed film — and it is why a lit fixture glows unevenly rather than like a plastic panel. 02 The ceiling cup A spun metal dome, not a stamped plastic cover. It sits over a standard junction box and hides the connection completely — the part you will still be looking at years after the shells have stopped being new. 03 Socket assembly and rod Standard E26 / E27 sockets on a metal extension rod — so you choose your own bulbs, change them yourself, and swap in dimmable ones whenever you like. Nothing here is sealed or integrated. 04 The frame, from above Seen from the top, the tiers are concentric metal rings held on radial arms — the geometry that gives the fixture its shape. The shells hang from it; they are not what holds it together. 05 One ring per strand Every strand hangs from its own small ring, nothing glued or crimped shut. It is why the shells move freely, why the tiers carry a natural unevenness — and why a damaged strand can be lifted off and replaced on its own. Both finishes appear above. The canopy and frame are shown in brushed gold, the socket rod and rings in chrome — the same fixture is built in either, so you are seeing both options rather than two different products. None of these are renders. They were taken in our own workshop before assembly, which is also the only moment most of these parts are ever visible. /* ===== Vidir Nerine Capiz Shell Chandelier — Design Story ===== */ .vst{ --brand:#5b2d20; --brand-dk:#3d1e15; --brand-lt:#7d4534; --paper:#faf7f5; --line:#e8ddd8; --ink:#2d1810; --serif:Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; --sans:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,"Segoe UI",sans-serif; max-width:960px;margin:44px auto;font-family:var(--sans);color:var(--ink);line-height:1.7; } .vst *{box-sizing:border-box;} .vst-card{ position:relative;overflow:hidden;border-radius:14px; background:linear-gradient(155deg,var(--brand) 0%,var(--brand-dk) 100%); box-shadow:0 14px 40px rgba(91,45,32,.2); padding:56px 60px 52px; } /* soft texture */ .vst-card::before{ content:'';position:absolute;inset:0;pointer-events:none; background: radial-gradient(ellipse 55% 45% at 20% 18%, rgba(250,247,245,.06) 0%, transparent 60%), radial-gradient(ellipse 50% 45% at 85% 82%, rgba(250,247,245,.05) 0%, transparent 62%); } /* corner rules */ .vst-card::after{ content:'';position:absolute;top:26px;left:26px;width:46px;height:46px; border-top:1px solid rgba(250,247,245,.4);border-left:1px solid rgba(250,247,245,.4); } .vst-corner{ position:absolute;bottom:26px;right:26px;width:46px;height:46px; border-bottom:1px solid rgba(250,247,245,.4);border-right:1px solid rgba(250,247,245,.4); } .vst-in{position:relative;z-index:2;max-width:680px;margin:0 auto;text-align:center;} .vst-eyebrow{ font-size:10px;letter-spacing:.3em;text-transform:uppercase; color:rgba(250,247,245,.7);font-weight:600;display:block;margin-bottom:16px; } .vst-in h2{ font-family:var(--serif);font-size:1.9em;font-weight:400;color:var(--paper); margin:0 0 10px;letter-spacing:.5px;line-height:1.26; } .vst-in h2 em{font-style:italic;} .vst-sub{ font-family:var(--serif);font-size:1.05em;font-style:italic; color:rgba(250,247,245,.6);margin:0 auto 30px;padding-bottom:26px;max-width:440px; border-bottom:1px solid rgba(250,247,245,.18); } .vst-in p{ font-size:.97em;color:rgba(250,247,245,.82);margin:0 0 18px;line-height:1.92; letter-spacing:.15px;text-align:left; } .vst-in p:last-of-type{margin-bottom:0;} .vst-in p strong{color:var(--paper);font-weight:600;} .vst-close{ margin-top:32px;padding-top:26px;border-top:1px solid rgba(250,247,245,.18); font-family:var(--serif);font-style:italic;font-size:1.06em; color:rgba(250,247,245,.9);letter-spacing:.3px; } @media (max-width:768px){ .vst{margin:30px auto;} .vst-card{padding:40px 24px 38px;} .vst-card::after,.vst-corner{width:34px;height:34px;} .vst-card::after{top:18px;left:18px;} .vst-corner{bottom:18px;right:18px;} .vst-in h2{font-size:1.48em;} } The design A Window Before It Was a Light The shell has been filtering daylight for centuries. We only hung it up. Capiz comes from the windowpane oyster, and the name is not decorative. For centuries, long before sheet glass was cheap or common, these shells were cut square and set into wooden window frames — thin enough to let daylight through, strong enough to hold back sun and rain. The material's first job was softening light. Everything since has been a variation on that. Which is why it makes such an unlikely-sounding shade and such an obvious one. Every quality you would ask a shade to have, the shell already had. It is translucent but never transparent, so you get the light without ever seeing where it comes from. Each piece differs slightly in thickness and opacity, so the surface never goes flat the way a moulded panel does. And it is warm and pearl-toned rather than clear, so what passes through arrives softened before it reaches you. The work is in the assembly: each shell cut to shape, its edge sanded smooth, curved to its tier and strung one at a time. Lit, some discs come up bright while others stay milky — and the whole thing shifts slightly when a door opens. It behaves like a material, not like a manufactured object. — It was doing this long before we asked. — /* ===== Nerine Scalloped Capiz Shell Chandelier — 4 Advantages ===== */ .vac{ --brand:#5b2d20; --brand-dk:#3d1e15; --brand-lt:#7d4534; --paper:#faf7f5; --cream:#faf7f5; --line:#e8ddd8; --ink:#2d1810; --serif:Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; --sans:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,"Segoe UI",sans-serif; max-width:900px;margin:40px auto;font-family:var(--sans);color:var(--ink);line-height:1.7; } .vac *{box-sizing:border-box;} /* ===== unified panel ===== */ .vac-panel{ border:1px solid var(--line);border-radius:12px;overflow:hidden; background:linear-gradient(180deg,#fff 0%,var(--cream) 100%); } /* header band */ .vac-head{ text-align:center;padding:38px 32px 30px; background:linear-gradient(150deg,var(--brand) 0%,var(--brand-dk) 100%); position:relative; } .vac-head::after{ content:'';position:absolute;bottom:0;left:50%;transform:translateX(-50%); width:60px;height:2px;background:rgba(250,247,245,.65); } .vac-eyebrow{ font-size:10px;letter-spacing:.28em;text-transform:uppercase; color:rgba(250,247,245,.7);font-weight:600;display:block;margin-bottom:13px; } .vac-head h2{ font-family:var(--serif);font-size:1.72em;font-weight:400;color:var(--paper); margin:0 0 12px;letter-spacing:.6px;line-height:1.3; } .vac-head h2 em{font-style:italic;} .vac-head p{ font-size:.92em;color:rgba(250,247,245,.66);margin:0 auto;line-height:1.7;max-width:520px; } /* ===== rows ===== */ .vac-list{padding:8px 0;} .vac-row{ display:flex;align-items:flex-start;gap:26px; padding:28px 40px;border-bottom:1px solid var(--line); transition:background .35s ease; } .vac-row:last-child{border-bottom:none;} .vac-row:hover{background:#fff;} /* number */ .vac-n{ flex:0 0 auto;width:44px;height:44px;border-radius:50%; border:1px solid var(--brand-lt); display:flex;align-items:center;justify-content:center; font-family:var(--serif);font-size:1.02em;color:var(--brand); background:#fff;transition:background .35s ease,color .35s ease,border-color .35s ease; } .vac-row:hover .vac-n{background:var(--brand);color:var(--paper);border-color:var(--brand);} /* text */ .vac-tx{flex:1;min-width:0;} .vac-tx h3{ font-family:var(--serif);font-size:1.24em;font-weight:500;color:var(--ink); margin:0 0 8px;letter-spacing:.3px;line-height:1.32; } .vac-tx p{font-size:.94em;color:#5a4a44;margin:0;line-height:1.82;} .vac-tx p strong{color:var(--brand-dk);font-weight:600;} /* closing line */ .vac-foot{ text-align:center;padding:24px 32px 28px; border-top:1px solid var(--line);background:#fff; } .vac-foot p{ font-family:var(--serif);font-size:.98em;font-style:italic;color:var(--brand-lt); margin:0;letter-spacing:.2px; } @media (max-width:768px){ .vac{margin:28px auto;} .vac-head{padding:30px 20px 26px;} .vac-head h2{font-size:1.32em;} .vac-row{padding:22px 20px;gap:16px;} .vac-n{width:36px;height:36px;font-size:.9em;} .vac-tx h3{font-size:1.1em;} .vac-foot{padding:20px;} } Why this chandelier Two Forms, From the Same Shells A range that splits into two different fixtures — and a material that has been filtering light since long before anyone made a lamp out of it. 01 Capiz's Uneven, Pearl-Warm Glow Shell is translucent but never transparent, so you get the light without ever seeing where it comes from. And because every disc differs slightly in thickness, some come up bright while others stay milky — the surface never goes flat the way a moulded panel does. Warm and pearl-toned rather than clear, so what passes through arrives softened before it reaches the room. 02 One Ring per Strand Every strand hangs from its own small ring — nothing glued, nothing crimped shut. That is why the shells move freely, registering a door opening or someone walking past, and why the tiers carry a natural unevenness no mould can copy. It is also why a damaged strand lifts off and is replaced on its own, without touching the rest. 03 The shells move Strung on individual links, the shells register air movement — a door opening, someone walking past — and shift very slightly, sometimes with a soft click.

Here is what the real material does that a moulded copy cannot. Natural Capiz Shell Resin / Printed Imitation The light Translucent but never transparent — some discs come up bright, others stay milky, and the bulb is never visible One flat even wash, or a thin panel with the bulb showing through as a bright spot Switched off Holds a faint pearl iridescence and real depth in daylight — it still reads as a material Reads as plastic the moment the light is off, however convincing it looks lit Uniqueness Every disc differs in thickness, opacity and grain — no two fixtures alike Cast from one mould; identical down to the millimetre, pattern repeating across the tiers The surface Natural growth grain running through the disc, visible when you look closely Grain printed or embossed onto the surface — the same motif recurring every few pieces Over time Shell will not yellow or grow brittle from bulb heat; its colour is the material itself Resin yellows and stiffens with heat and age; printed tints fade unevenly Movement Strung one strand per ring, so the discs move freely and register the room around them Panels fixed into a housing — static, and silent in the dull sense Construction Each strand lifts off its own ring, so a damaged one is replaced on its own Sealed into a single moulded shade; damage usually means replacing the fixture In the hand Cool to the touch and rigid, with the faint sheen of a natural material Warm, slightly flexible, and unmistakably plastic once you handle it Questions, Answered Common Questions Is it real shell? Yes. Every disc is natural capiz — never moulded resin and never printed plastic film made to look like shell. Because it is a natural material, each disc has its own thickness, opacity and faint growth grain. Look closely at a lit fixture and you will see some discs come up bright while others stay milky. That unevenness is the proof, not a flaw. Do the shells move? Do they make a sound? Yes to both, and it is worth knowing before you order. Each strand hangs from its own ring, so the discs register air movement — a door opening, someone walking past, a window left ajar — and shift slightly, sometimes with a soft click. Most people find this is the point of a shell fixture rather than a drawback. If you would rather it stayed still and silent, avoid hanging it directly beneath an air vent, a ceiling fan, or in front of a window you keep open. Are the shells fragile? Less than people expect. Capiz is thin, but it is strung rather than rigid — the strands flex and swing rather than take an impact, and shell does not shatter the way glass does. The metal frame carries the entire weight, so the shells are only ever asked to hang. Where they can be damaged is at the edge, from a direct knock. That is an argument for hanging it above head height and away from doorways, not against the material. Overhead in a dining room or bedroom it is very well behaved. Will the shells yellow or discolour? No. The colour is the material itself rather than a tint applied to a surface, so it will not yellow or grow brittle under bulb heat the way resin imitation does. Keep it out of prolonged direct sunlight and out of damp rooms and it will look the same in ten years as it does on the first day. Will mine look exactly like the photographs? Very close, but not identical. Silhouette, dimensions, tier count, finish and overall colour family will match what you see here. The individual discs will not, because they are sorted and matched by hand rather than cut to a pattern. From across the room the tiers read as one soft mass; the variation only shows when you are standing underneath it. Will it be too bright or glary? No. Shell is translucent but never transparent, so the bulb stays out of sight from any angle below and the light arrives diffused rather than direct. There is no hotspot anywhere on the fixture. It is an ambient piece — comfortable to sit under and to look at — so in a kitchen or over a work surface you will still want task lighting alongside it. What bulbs does it take, and can it be dimmed? It takes standard E26 / E27 bulbs, LED or Edison style, not included. Dimming depends on the bulb rather than the fixture: fit dimmable bulbs on a compatible dimmer circuit and it will dim smoothly. A warm white around 2700K suits shell best — cooler light drains the warmth out of it and makes the discs read grey. How high should I hang it? Over a dining table, hang the lowest shell 30–36″ (75–90 cm) above the tabletop — lower than instinct suggests is usually right, since nobody walks underneath. In any walkway or entry keep at least 7 ft (2.1 m) of floor clearance. The 150 cm / 59″ cable shortens on site, and we will lengthen it before dispatch for a tall stairwell if you tell us your ceiling height when you order. Which size and which form should I choose? Decide the form before the size. Three of the six are taller than they are wide and fall as a column — right for an entry, a stairwell landing or a narrow hall. The other three are wider than they are tall and spread as tiers — right for a dining table or a seating area. Then size it: add your room's length and width in feet and read the sum as inches, or over a round table take two thirds to three quarters of the table diameter. Height is adjustable on site; diameter is not, so if you are between two, take the larger over a table and the smaller in a walkway. Is it difficult to install? It is a hardwired ceiling fixture and professional installation is recommended. It arrives flat-packed: the frame goes up first, then the shell strands are hung one at a time onto their rings. This takes patience rather than skill, and two people make it considerably easier — one holding, one hooking. Work from the outer tier inward, and switch off power at the breaker before starting. All hardware is included. How do I care for it, and what if a strand breaks? Dust with a soft dry cloth or a very light pass with a feather duster, supporting the strand with your other hand. Avoid water, solvents, abrasive pads and household sprays. Shell and damp do not mix, so this is an indoor, dry-location fixture — not one for a bathroom or a covered porch. Every strand is wrapped separately for shipping and the frame travels in pieces. If something arrives damaged, send photographs within 24 hours of delivery and we will replace the affected part. Because each strand hangs on its own ring, a single broken strand never means returning the whole chandelier. .vig{ --brand:#5b2d20;--brand-dk:#3d1e15;--brand-lt:#7d4534; --gold:#b08d57;--gold-lt:#d9bd8a; --cream:#fcf8f3;--line:#e8ddd8;--ink:#2d1810;--body:#5a4a3f; --serif:Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; --sans:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,"Segoe UI",sans-serif; --num:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; max-width:860px;margin:44px auto;font-family:var(--sans);color:var(--ink);line-height:1.7; } .vig *{box-sizing:border-box;} .vig-card{ position:relative;overflow:hidden; border:1px solid var(--line);border-radius:16px; background:linear-gradient(155deg,#fff 0%,var(--cream) 100%); box-shadow:0 14px 38px rgba(91,45,32,.11); } .vig-card::before{ content:'';position:absolute;inset:0;pointer-events:none; background:radial-gradient(ellipse 50% 70% at 92% 10%, rgba(176,141,87,.10) 0%, transparent 60%); } /* header */ .vig-top{position:relative;padding:34px 40px 26px;text-align:center;} .vig-line{display:block;width:48px;height:1px;background:var(--gold);margin:0 auto 14px;} .vig-eyebrow{font-size:10px;letter-spacing:.28em;text-transform:uppercase;color:var(--brand-lt);font-weight:600;display:block;margin-bottom:11px;} .vig-top h2{font-family:var(--serif);font-size:1.6em;font-weight:400;color:var(--ink);margin:0 0 10px;letter-spacing:.4px;line-height:1.28;} .vig-top h2 em{color:var(--brand);font-style:italic;} .vig-top p{font-size:.93em;color:var(--body);margin:0 auto;max-width:520px;line-height:1.8;} /* steps */ .vig-steps{position:relative;display:grid;grid-template-columns:repeat(4,1fr);border-top:1px solid var(--line);border-bottom:1px solid var(--line);} .vig-step{padding:26px 18px;text-align:center;border-right:1px solid var(--line);transition:background .35s ease;} .vig-step:last-child{border-right:none;} .vig-step:hover{background:#fff;} .vig-step .ic{ width:44px;height:44px;margin:0 auto 12px;border-radius:50%; background:#fff;border:1px solid var(--gold); display:flex;align-items:center;justify-content:center;transition:background .35s ease; } .vig-step:hover .ic{background:var(--cream);} .vig-step .ic svg{width:19px;height:19px;color:var(--brand);} .vig-step .n{font-family:var(--num);font-size:.68em;font-weight:700;letter-spacing:.14em;color:var(--gold);display:block;margin-bottom:5px;} .vig-step h4{font-family:var(--serif);font-size:.98em;font-weight:600;color:var(--brand-dk);margin:0 0 5px;letter-spacing:.2px;} .vig-step p{font-size:.84em;color:var(--body);margin:0;line-height:1.6;} /* cta */ .vig-bar{position:relative;padding:28px 40px 32px;text-align:center;} .vig-cta{ display:inline-flex;align-items:center;gap:10px; font-family:var(--sans);font-size:.94em;font-weight:600; color:#fff !important;text-decoration:none !important; background:linear-gradient(140deg,var(--brand) 0%,var(--brand-dk) 100%); padding:14px 34px;border-radius:50px; box-shadow:0 7px 18px rgba(91,45,32,.24); transition:transform .3s ease,box-shadow .3s ease; } .vig-cta:hover,.vig-cta:visited,.vig-cta:active,.vig-cta:focus{color:#fff !important;text-decoration:none !important;} .vig-cta:hover{transform:translateY(-2px);box-shadow:0 12px 26px rgba(91,45,32,.34);} .vig-cta svg{width:16px;height:16px;color:#fff !important;stroke:#fff !important;} .vig-meta{font-family:var(--num);font-size:.78em;color:#8a7268;margin:13px 0 0;letter-spacing:.06em;} @media (max-width:760px){ .vig{margin:30px auto;} .vig-top{padding:28px 22px 22px;} .vig-top h2{font-size:1.34em;} .vig-steps{grid-template-columns:repeat(2,1fr);} .vig-step{border-bottom:1px solid var(--line);padding:22px 14px;} .vig-step:nth-child(2){border-right:none;} .vig-step:nth-child(3),.vig-step:nth-child(4){border-bottom:none;} .vig-bar{padding:24px 22px 28px;} .vig-cta{width:100%;justify-content:center;} } Installation The Complete Installation Guide Not sure how to wire it, how high to hang it, or whether you need an electrician?
