Most Asked
Quick answers to the top questions
These are what most of our customers want to know first.
Orders & Payment
Placing your order, modifying it, and the payment methods we accept.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept all major credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover), as well as PayPal, Apple Pay, and Shop Pay. All transactions are processed securely through our encrypted checkout.
Is it safe to purchase on your website?
Yes. Our site uses SSL encryption to protect your personal and payment information, and we never store your full card details on our servers.
Is sales tax included in my order?
Sales tax is calculated automatically at checkout based on your shipping address, in line with applicable state and local tax laws, and shown before you complete your purchase.
Can I modify or cancel my order after placing it?
You can request a change within 12 hours of placing your order, as long as it hasn't entered production or shipped. After that window we may not be able to make changes — contact us as soon as possible.
Will I be charged customs or import duties?
No. We currently ship only within the United States, so there are no customs fees or import duties on any order.
Do you offer trade or designer discounts?
Yes — see our Trade Program under Custom & Trade for details on discounts for interior designers, architects, and industry professionals.

What's covered under your warranty?

Product & Materials
Authenticity, certifications, and what's actually inside our fixtures.
Is the alabaster real natural stone?
Yes — every shade is genuine natural alabaster, hand-selected and shaped by artisans. As a natural material, slight variation in veining and color is normal and part of each piece's character.
What materials are your fixtures made from?
- Natural alabaster stone
- Solid brass and iron hardware
- Hand-blown glass (select collections)
- Powder-coated or plated metal finishes
- UL-listed electrical wiring and sockets
Are your fixtures UL or ETL certified?
Yes, our fixtures are UL-listed or ETL-certified depending on collection, for safe use in U.S. homes.
Do your products work with US 110V electrical systems?
Yes, all fixtures are wired for standard U.S. 110–120V systems and ready to install out of the box.
What bulbs do your fixtures use?
Most use standard E26 base bulbs. We recommend warm white LEDs (2700K–3000K) to best complement the alabaster's natural glow.
Are your fixtures energy efficient?
Yes — paired with LED bulbs, our fixtures are highly energy efficient and long-lasting.
Are dimmers compatible?
Yes, most fixtures work with dimmer switches when paired with dimmable LED bulbs.
What metal finishes do you offer?
Antique brass, brushed brass, matte black, and aged bronze, depending on the collection.
Custom & Trade
Bespoke pieces and partnerships for designers and trade professionals.
Can I request a custom design or size?
- Adjusted dimensions (height, width, drop length)
- Alternate metal finishes
- Custom bulb configurations
- Bespoke shapes for architectural or commercial installations
Do you offer 3D visualization services?
Yes, for custom and larger orders we can provide a 3D rendering to preview the fixture in your space before production begins.
Do you have a Trade Program for designers and architects?
- Tiered discounts across all collections
- Dedicated trade support contact
- Access to spec sheets and CAD files
- Priority lead times on custom orders
- Sample and swatch requests for client presentations
What's the minimum order for custom or wholesale?
Custom orders typically start at a single piece; wholesale pricing applies to orders of 5+ units. Contact our trade team for a tailored quote.
Installation & Care
Installing your fixture and keeping it beautiful for years.
Are your fixtures easy to install?
Most can be installed by a homeowner comfortable with basic electrical work, though we always recommend a licensed electrician for hardwired installations.
Are installation instructions and spec sheets included?
Yes, every fixture ships with:
- Step-by-step installation instructions
- A spec sheet with dimensions and weight
- Mounting hardware
- A wiring diagram
How do I know what size fixture is right for my space?
- Add room length + width in feet for the ideal fixture diameter in inches
- Allow 30–36 inches of clearance above a table or counter
- Check ceiling height for minimum hanging clearance
- Contact us for a personalized sizing recommendation
Can the cord or chain length be adjusted?
Yes, most pendant and chandelier cords/chains can be shortened during install, and extension kits are available for higher ceilings.
How do I clean alabaster and natural stone fixtures?
- Dust gently with a soft, dry microfiber cloth
- Avoid water, glass cleaners, or harsh chemicals
- For deeper cleaning, use a barely damp cloth and dry immediately
Are your outdoor lights weatherproof?
- Rated for exposure to rain and humidity
- Not recommended for direct submersion or heavy coastal salt exposure without extra protection
What if I need replacement parts later?
Contact support with your order number — we keep replacement parts (glass, hardware, bulbs) on hand for most collections, even outside the warranty period.
