This was one of four turquoise chandeliers in yesterday’s post, but I couldn’t stop thinking about it. It’s stunning — the kind of light that makes the room.
I think the craze for this light can be traced back to Sarah Jessica Parker’s home featured in Elle Decor back in 2010. It was designed by Eric Hughes and featured an Egyptian hand-blown glass chandelier from Liza Sherman Antiques. The light is still sold through them for $7800.
There is another version available from Canopy Designs: the Sara Chandelier. They sell to the trade only, but I was able to find it on several sites retailing for about $2500.
The frame color can be customized and the glass shades come in various colors (Aruba Blue, Twilight Blue, Antique, White, Garnet, Coral, Lavender, BK Green, Pink). Clearly people are into the blue options though; they are by far the most popular.
It’s new and old at the same time, and it isn’t style specific so it’s versatile enough to work in a variety of homes. Modern? Victorian? Country? Industrial? A builder-grade suburban home lacking in architectural details? Add this chandelier. It will work.
Raise your hand if you’re dreaming of adding this light to your home now. * hand shoots up *

March 11, 2016 at 12:03 pmThat would be pretty easy to DIY for around $250, give or take how much you spend on the glass shades. It’s just a couple of hoops, a basic hanging lamp and some chain. That would be a fun project!

April 5, 2019 at 1:22 pmWow – I still love this fixture and came here because I remembered you had collected these links. Sadly, it doesn’t seem to be available at any of these places anymore. Only 3 years later – how fickle fashion can be.
