With thin arcing blades covered in hand-applied mother-of-pearl mosaic, our Arietta Teardrop chandelier is an example of how talented our finish artisans are when it comes to handcrafted surfaces. The metal is a silver leaf finish that enhances the glow of the fixture when the four lights of the silver chandelier illuminate. Clarence Mallari designed the Arietta family of fixtures, which also includes a rectangular version of this design. He was looking for a different perspective with the teardrop shape to make it softer in tone: without corners, he notes, the fixture is subtler and more delicate.
