Product Details
The Alora Lighting Akoya CH321508CH is a breathtaking tribute to organic beauty and sophisticated jewelry design. Named after the prized Akoya pearl, this 24-inch chandelier features eight lustrous opal glass globes nestled within a brilliant polished Chrome frame. The delicate, arcing arms mimic the prongs of a fine ring, "setting" the glass pearls in a way that feels both weightless and structurally sound. Part of the boutique Alora collection, the Akoya brings a radiant, feminine elegance to modern interiors, providing soft, diffused 360-degree illumination that is as functional as it is beautiful.
