<p>Every alabaster chandelier in our collection begins its journey as a raw block of stone, quarried from select deposits known for their exceptional translucency and warm colour.</p><h2>Quarrying & Selection</h2><p>Our master craftspeople personally select each block, looking for uniform colour and minimal veining. Only about 30% of quarried alabaster meets our quality standards.</p><h2>Turning & Carving</h2><p>Each bowl and shade is turned on a lathe by a skilled artisan who has trained for years. The stone is gradually thinned to just 8-12mm, allowing light to pass through while maintaining structural integrity.</p><h2>Finishing & Assembly</h2><p>After turning, each piece is hand-sanded through five grits, then waxed with a natural beeswax polish. The stone components are then carefully assembled onto precision-engineered brass frames in our workshop.</p><h2>Quality Control</h2><p>Every finished chandelier undergoes 24 hours of burn-in testing to ensure perfect electrical function and to verify the quality of light transmission through the stone.</p>
