Capiz Chandeliers

Consider the Capiz chandelier which is an ever classic lighting device hanging from the ceiling containing two or more lights made out of candle-like electric bulbs. This is because the first chandeliers did use candles to create light rather than electricity. These lamps range from miniature to full size and are made from many different materials. Although most people imagine sparkling crystal when they think of a chandelier, you will find so much more than that on the market these days. Capiz chandeliers are a unique and sophisticated alternative to crystal.

 

The word Capiz is used to describe both a type of shell and a Philippine province. Capiz shell is harvested from the outer layer of the placuna placenta shell, also known as the marine mollusk. This type of mollusk is found in shallow waters on the coast of the Philippines. If you have never seen capiz shell you will be amazed at its delicate beauty. It is translucent, which is one reason it is used for lighting devices. Similar to mother of pearl in appearance, capiz is a bit warmer toned and its color could best be described as a pearlescent beige. In addition to being used for chandeliers, this type of shell is also used for other decor items and even jewelry.

When shopping for this style chandelier you can check your local lighting and accessories store. If they don't have what you're looking for you may find capiz lighting devices at upscale department and home interior stores and boutiques. Of course you can also shop online. The Internet has many vendors who sell capiz lighting devices that vary in style, size and price. If you are worried about shipping you should know some merchants will ship for free if you exceed a certain dollar amount or if you have a free shipping coupon code.

Before installing Capiz chandeliers or any type of chandelier, make sure the area where you plan to hang it can accommodate the size and weight. Many people hang chandeliers in spacious foyer areas and dining rooms, but they can work almost anywhere. There are miniature chandeliers which are perfect for apartments or small rooms. You will be amazed at the wealth of choices when it comes to lighting for your home. Today's chandeliers are affordable and accessible for most everyone, not just the rich and famous.
