Pearl Drop PRECIOSA SIGNATURE DESIGNS
Signature Designs We can create unrivaled emotional experiences by combining the traditional artform of chandelier craftsmanship with cutting edge technology. This knowledge is what drives our intention to unveil the symbolic as well as the aesthetic power of decorative lighting. It led us to create Preciosa’s Signature Designs which are highlighted by countless customization possibilities to perfectly fit the owner’s desires. What makes a Signature Design so strategic is the variations that can be developed. Each concept offers different scales, compositions, colours, materials and surface finishes, construction principles and illumination methods. Signature Designs enrich the vignette of a space to create unexpected emotions that become etched in people’s memories. This is the highest level of chandelier cultivation - to create connecting experiences through light.

INTRODUCTION
PEARL DROP
5
Pearl Drop Pearl Drop is a statement lighting piece, classic in its reference to pearls but modern in the simplicity of its overall shape. Crystal pearls, created from triplex opal and crystal are threaded with smaller metal spheres. Because of the simplicity of the components, the design can be constructed into a variety of shapes. This sparkling treasure was inspired by the lights and the jewellery in classical Dutch paintings. Enthusiasm for the past leads to contemporary creation for the present.

Construction principles
STANDARD SIZES OF CONSTRUCTION
Pearl Drop is a self-supporting structure and needs only a few suspension points in the ceiling. This makes it particularly suitable to hang freely in a space, visible from all sides, even from the top. Hanging under skylights is also a possibility as no large fixing plate is needed.

CRYSTAL & METAL
Triplex opal & gold metal
Components & materials From the heart of Crystal Valley comes a beautiful lighting component that looks like a pearl. It is smooth and luxurious; it provides an even illumination, and looks beautiful, lit or not. What is this gorgeous element that is an inspiration behind Pearl Drop? Triplex Opal is a special glassmaking technique unique to the Preciosa glassworks. It results in lighting spheres that resemble actual pearls. Because they are handmade, each one is an original and features organic elements similar to real pearls. Triplex Opal is a desirable material for a number of reasons. The meticulous way it is made results in a component that evenly illuminates an interior, removes glare, and offers a gorgeous and delicate glow effect in combination with injected light.

Injected light
Injected light
Triplex opal spheres are evenly lit from inside. LED light sources create a gentle glowing appearance. Warm white, neutral white or cold white lighting can be used to make the fixture suitable for various spaces.
Dynamic light
Integrated SPI-LED (tuneable white) strips or SPI-RGBW-LED strips allow for the possibility of programmable dynamic lighting effects.
DOWNLIGHT ILLUMINATION
Passing light
Cut crystal spheres sparkle the most when externally lit. For example, with downlights above the sculpture-like Pearl Drop.
