Created by laser cutting a the pattern out of metal, it comes as a sheet and then you wrap it around your existing pendant or table lamp fitting to create the glorious shade (instructions are included) which glints and reflects the light beautifully- combine a few to get a larger, more impressive effect (I recommend 2!). One shade measures roughly 30 x 25cm although every one is unique and the dimensions depend on your construction. Maximum bulb 60w.
