A chandelier that’s not primarily crystal, metal, or wood? Now that’s a bright idea! Yes, this Malibu chandelier is technically a light fixture, but it’s really more like jewelry, no?
The turquoise resin beads remind me of a necklace — and just as a statement piece around your neck can pull an outfit together, this chandelier can pull a room together. (You must see these hot shots of it in a nursery on the HGTV Canada site.) Add that to the casually-dramatic dome shape, and you got a winner on your hands. Or ceiling, as it were.
That chandelier is beautiful! I am not usually drawn to chandeliers, but like you I am attracted to ones that are made from unusual materials. The original Millennium Chandelier was made from exploded party poppers collected in London after the millennium celebrations:

It also comes in an all-black version, but I prefer the colorful one!
WOW, the shape of that Millennium Chandelier is so interesting, too! Makes me want to buy up a ton of party poppers and try to make my own.
Me too!
Oh I love it in the nursery with the fuschia! I actually saw a turquoise chandelier hanging in a display window at my local Anthropologie and it literally stopped me in my tracks it was so pretty. I can't find it on their site now, unfortunately. Fun twist on the traditional chandelier.
Isn't it fun? I wish you could find that Anthro chando on the site. I'd love to know more about it! Maybe this calls for further investigation…
Love this except for the frazzled looking little tassle at the bottom — looks frayed. Fix that, and it's great.
