£95 Free UK delivery over £40 · 30-day returns
Quick look: Kiyomi Travertine & Glass Pendant Light

£175 Free UK delivery over £40 · 30-day returns
Quick look: Taoka Travertine & Wood Pendant Light

Three real travertine and wood shades hang at staggered heights in a 29 cm round cluster, each sending its light down onto the table. The stone blocks light, so you get warm pools below rather than a glow, and the pitting differs on every shade. It takes three E27 bulbs.

£225 Free UK delivery over £40 · 30-day returns
Quick look: Sabbia Travertine & Glass Pendant Light

Three travertine shades with glass globes hang in a 65 cm line. Because the glass does the diffusing, it spreads more light along the table than an all-stone shade would. It takes three G9 bulbs.

An opal acrylic globe rests on a base of real travertine, 24 cm wide and 19 cm tall. The globe turns its G9 bulb into an even, glare-free glow, which suits a bedside, a shelf or the end of a sideboard. It simply plugs in.

£105 Free UK delivery over £40 · 30-day returns
Quick look: Wara Travertine Wall Light

A half-round of real travertine, 17.5 cm wide, that projects just 5 cm from the wall, so nobody brushes past it on a landing or stair. One G9 bulb washes light up and down the stone and picks out its texture.

£115 Free UK delivery over £40 · 30-day returns
Quick look: Isola LED Bathroom Wall Light

A long bar of LED light between travertine end blocks, rated IP44 so it can sit in zone 2 near a bath or shower. It gives 740 lumens at 2700K as an even band across the mirror, rather than a single bright point.

For an alabaster glow

What matters here

  • Dust with a soft, dry cloth and keep solvents off the stone.

8. Solara Alabaster Ring Chandelier

Solara Alabaster Ring Chandelier — Satin Brass

£920 Free UK delivery over £40 · 30-day returns
Quick look: Solara Alabaster Ring Chandelier

Twelve E14 lampholders sit within a 60 cm ring of real alabaster panels set in solid brass, so the whole ring glows rather than throwing a hard pool. Every panel is veined differently. Over a round table it wants height: the listing suggests a 2.4–3.0 m ceiling.

Where weight is a worry

What matters here

  • Stone-effect shades are moulded resin, far lighter than quarried stone.

Quick look: Kaia Curved Stone-Effect Pendant Light

A curved 60 cm shade of moulded resin with a sand beige stone-effect finish: the scale of a carved stone shade without the load. It pushes light down onto the table, and the 2 m cable leaves room to set the drop. It is not real stone.

Quick look: Senja Cloud Stone-Effect Pendant Light

A 38 cm cloud of white stone-effect resin, 30 cm deep, with lobes that let light out around the edges as well as below. It suits a small table or a bedside drop where a solid stone shade would be a heavy ask. It takes an E27 bulb.

Questions we get asked

Is travertine lighting real stone?

It depends on the listing. Real travertine is named as travertine or natural stone, while stone-effect shades are moulded resin. Every pick in this guide says which it is in its Material row.

How heavy is a stone pendant, and how should it be fixed?

Heavier than it looks. Hang it from a fixing screwed into a ceiling joist or timber noggin, not from the flex or plasterboard alone, and check its weight against the ceiling rose and flex rating with your electrician.

How high should a stone pendant hang?

Over a dining table, keep 75–85 cm between the tabletop and the bottom of the shade. Over a kitchen island, hang it 75–90 cm above the worktop.

Does travertine glow like alabaster?

No. Travertine blocks light, so it gives a pool below with a warm spill at the rim. Alabaster is translucent and glows through its whole body, which is why it suits atmosphere rather than task light.

Which bulb suits a stone light?

A warm, dimmable LED around 2700K flatters the stone's honey tones. Most of these fittings take E27 or G9 bulbs at modest maximum wattages, so check the Light row on each pick.

How do I clean travertine and alabaster?

Switch off, let the bulb cool and dust with a soft, dry cloth. Keep water, solvents and acids such as vinegar, lemon and limescale remover away from the stone.
