Though the recycled glass discs that make up the shade of the Etude Orb Chandelier look uniform at first glance, the pieces actually grow larger as they flow from the top and bottom toward the middle. They are attached to the wrought frame with such fine wire, they seem to float within it. The circlets and frame are finished in a satin black; the darkness creates a contrast to the recycled glass and adds depth the design. Adjustable from 39.25" to 130.75" with use of included chain/rod kit/cable. If your space calls for a longer drop, additional chain/rods/cable is available for purchase.
