The Verian Alabaster Capsule Chain Pendant hangs a smooth dome-topped capsule of natural stone from a slender metal chain — quiet, vertical, and unmistakably considered. Each shade is carved from genuine natural alabaster, its soft cloud-like veining running the full length of the capsule. Switched off, it reads as a pale stone lantern suspended in the air; switched on, the whole capsule glows warm and honeyed from within, with a soft pool of light falling from the open base.
The chain is the second half of the design. Rather than a rigid rod or a hidden cord, each pendant drops on a visible link chain that can be draped, swagged, and hooked across the ceiling — so a single pendant can hang straight over a nightstand, or five and eight can be strung together into a cascading cluster where the chains themselves become part of the composition. It's a fixture that lets you decide the shape.
No two pieces of stone are ever the same
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.
Alabaster is a natural stone, so every capsule has its own veining and subtle color variation. The piece you receive will differ slightly from the photos — this is inherent to real stone, not a defect.
Each pendant hangs on a 100 cm / 39.4″ chain that adjusts to your ceiling height. In a multi-light cluster the chains can be draped and hooked overhead, so you decide the shape. Need it longer for a stairwell or atrium? Contact us before ordering and we'll extend it.
Takes a standard E12 or E14 bulb — LED or Edison. We recommend warm white for the softest glow through the alabaster. It hardwires to a common wall switch, which supplies and controls the power (switch not included). For dry indoor locations only.
Every capsule is the same size — what you're choosing is how many, and how the chains fall across your ceiling.
Hang 30–36″ above a counter or nightstand.
Order two or three to run a row over an island.
The simplest way to get the swagged look.
Stagger the drops for a more natural cluster.
Vary the heights so no two capsules line up.
The most versatile cluster size.
Best where the cluster is seen from two levels.
Allow room for the chains to spread overhead.
Plan the ceiling plate positions before install.
We recommend professional installation at this scale.
Because every capsule is the same size, the cluster's footprint is set by how far apart you place the ceiling plates — not by the fixture itself. Over a dining table, aim for the cluster to span roughly half to two-thirds of the table's width, with the lowest capsule 30–36″ above the tabletop. In an open room or stairwell, spread the plates wider and stagger the chain lengths so the capsules fall at different heights — that variation is what makes the cluster look composed rather than repetitive. Chains are adjustable, so the final arrangement is set during installation.
These are the configurations we stock — but they're a starting point, not a limit. Tell us how many capsules your ceiling needs, and we'll build it. (More lamp heads and other styles of lamp heads)
What Else We Can Change
Beyond head count, most of the fixture is adjustable.
Longer chains for stairwells, atriums, or double-height entries — specify your ceiling height.
Brass or matte black as standard — ask us if you need the hardware in another tone.
Send your room dimensions and ceiling height — our designers will map the plate positions for you.
The shape is yours to decide.
The Verian Alabaster Capsule Chain Pendant began with two decisions. The first was the shade: a smooth, dome-topped capsule carved from genuine natural alabaster, closed at the top and open at the base, so light glows through the stone and pools gently downward. Simple, vertical, quiet — a small stone lantern.
The second decision was the chain, and it's the one that changes everything. Most pendants hide their hardware. Here the chain is meant to be seen — long enough to drape, hook, and cross overhead, so a single capsule hangs straight over a nightstand while five or nine can be swagged across a ceiling into a cascade. You aren't buying a fixed shape. You're arranging one. No two installations are ever quite the same.
Stone capsules on drapeable chains — the only pendant where the shape is your decision, not ours.
Most pendants hide their hardware. Here the link chain is meant to be seen — long enough to drape, hook, and cross overhead. Hang one capsule straight over a nightstand, or swag five across a dining ceiling into a cascade. You aren't buying a fixed shape; you're arranging one, and no two installations look the same.
Choose 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 11, or 13 heads — the same capsule and the same chain, scaled from a single bedside drop to a full atrium cascade. A small kitchen and a three-story stairwell can share exactly the same design language.
Every capsule hangs on a 100 cm / 39.4″ chain that adjusts during installation — stagger the drops so no two line up, and the cluster reads composed rather than repetitive. Need more length for a stairwell? We'll extend it before it ships. It takes a standard E12 or E14 bulb, so replacements are easy to find anywhere.
