What Is a Shell Chandelier?
A shell chandelier is a ceiling fixture that incorporates genuine natural shells -- typically oyster, capiz, or mother of pearl -- as decorative elements that diffuse and reflect light. These fixtures bring organic ocean materials indoors while providing ambient illumination, creating sophisticated coastal elegance in dining rooms, foyers, and living spaces.
