Clip-On Crystal Ring Lampshade - French Gold

This Diyas clip-on lampshade comprises 77 individual crystal buttons, each set within a precision-welded French gold metal ring and assembled into a tapered cage structure measuring 120mm across the base and 100mm high. The shade clips directly onto a candle-style bulb (E14 or SES fitting), eliminating the need for separate shade carriers or holder rings.

Designed for chandelier arms, wall lights and table lamps using exposed candle bulbs, the shade transforms a bare bulb into a decorative element. The French gold finish — a warmer, slightly antiqued tone compared to polished brass — diffuses light through the crystal rings while the metal framework casts geometric shadow patterns onto surrounding surfaces. The 60W maximum rating accommodates both LED candle bulbs (typically 4-6W equivalent to 40W incandescent) and traditional filament bulbs.

The crystal buttons are faceted to scatter light in multiple directions, creating prismatic reflections across walls and ceilings when the bulb is lit. Each ring is individually welded to its neighbour, giving the shade structural rigidity despite its delicate appearance. At 330g, the shade adds minimal weight to a chandelier arm or wall bracket. The French gold finish pairs with warm-toned interiors, period properties and traditional chandelier frames in brass, bronze or antiqued metal.

How does the shade attach to the bulb?

The shade clips directly onto the bulb itself using an internal spring clip mechanism. It fits candle-style bulbs with E14 (small Edison screw) or SES (small bayonet) fittings. No separate shade carrier or holder ring is required.

What bulb wattage can it handle?

The shade is rated for bulbs up to 60W. Most users pair it with LED candle bulbs between 4-6W (equivalent to 25-40W incandescent output), which generate less heat and are safer for prolonged use with the crystal and metal construction.

Can it be used on a chandelier with multiple arms?

Yes. The shade is specifically designed for chandelier arms, wall lights and table lamps using exposed candle bulbs. Multiple shades can be fitted to a multi-arm chandelier to create a coordinated look.

How is the crystal cleaned?

Unclip the shade from the bulb before cleaning. Wipe each crystal button gently with a dry microfibre cloth. For stubborn marks, use a barely-damp cloth with distilled water and dry immediately. Avoid spray cleaners or submerging the shade, as moisture can tarnish the welded metal rings.
