Spanish alabaster — quarried primarily from the Ebro Valley in Aragón — has been the global gold standard for fine alabaster for over two thousand years. Roman sculptors used it for funerary urns; medieval cathedrals used it for window panels before stained glass became widespread; today it remains the preferred choice for designers wanting alabaster's signature milky translucency and warm glow when backlit.

What makes Spanish alabaster particularly prized: the stone's fine, even grain, its cool warm-white tone with subtle veining, and its predictable translucency — when the G9 bulb inside is on, light passes evenly through the stone with no harsh hot spots. The result is a candle-warm, ambient glow that feels closer to natural light than a typical pendant fixture.

Each pendant is hand-carved from a unique block of natural Spanish alabaster — so the veining pattern, mineral inclusions, surface tone, and degree of translucency will differ from unit to unit. The overall warm-white color and pebble silhouette will match product photos, but the specific stone "fingerprint" will be unique to your piece.

Treat any variation as part of the material's value, the same way you'd treat the unique grain of a wood floor or the veining of a marble countertop — it's what makes each pendant a one-of-a-kind piece rather than a mass-produced object.

All five share the same Spanish alabaster + brass materials and same G9 bulb base — only silhouette and scale differ:

Model A (∅ 23.2 × H 15 cm): Widest, lowest profile — flat pebble shape. Best over dining tables, kitchen islands, and breakfast bars where you want spread without vertical drop.
Model B (∅ 19 × H 25 cm): Tallest, oval pebble. Best for bedsides, foyers, and stairwell landings where vertical drama is wanted.
Model C (∅ 15 × H 19 cm): Dome silhouette. Best for hallways, console flanking, and accent placements.
Model D (∅ 19 × H 18 cm): Most irregular, asymmetric pebble — the most "river-stone" reading. Best for bedside or as a sculptural accent.
Model E (∅ 13.8 × H 16 cm): Most compact. Best for bedsides, powder rooms, and small-scale accent placements.

Sizing rule for over a dining table: pick a pendant diameter roughly 1/3 the table's narrow dimension.

Each pendant uses one G9 bi-pin bulb (LED or halogen; not included). G9 is a small two-pin base. Warm-white G9 LED at 2700K, around 3-4W, is recommended — the warm glow brings out the alabaster's natural translucency and reveals the stone's mineral veining as soft inner highlights.

Dimmable when paired with a dimmable G9 LED bulb and a compatible LED-rated wall dimmer. Avoid LEDs over 5W, as the alabaster shade is enclosed and excessive heat can shorten LED bulb life.

Alabaster is durable but porous and softer than marble — care with a light touch:

Dust regularly with a soft dry cloth or soft brush.
Spot-clean any marks with a slightly damp cloth (water only) — avoid soaking the stone.
Avoid acidic cleaners (vinegar, lemon, citrus-based products) which can etch the surface.
Avoid abrasive scrubbers which can scratch the natural patina.
Keep away from sustained moisture — alabaster softens with water exposure over time, so not suitable for bathrooms, especially over showers or baths.

The Galet's pebble silhouette + warm alabaster glow pairs effortlessly with contemporary, modern luxe, transitional, organic-modern, Japandi, Mediterranean, and warm-traditional interiors. As a single pendant: dining tables, kitchen islands, breakfast bars, foyers, bedsides, stairwell landings, and reading nooks.

Pairs especially well with cream walls, oak and walnut wood floors, marble or travertine countertops, leather upholstery, brass hardware, and warm-neutral palettes. The alabaster's milky warm tone is most flattering against neutral or warm-toned walls — particularly stunning in dimly-lit spaces where the glow becomes the focal point.

Dekorfine offers a 30-day return policy on undamaged items in their original packaging. Because each pendant is hand-carved from natural Spanish alabaster, slight variations in veining, translucency, mineral inclusions, and tone between units are part of authentic stone character — not defects, and not eligible for return.
