Stem-hung pendants are more formal and elegant, and come in several fashionable finishes to work with your decor.

Standard Black and White

We provide 3 feet (36 inches) of stem on a standard configuration, which can be cut to a shorter length at the time of installation (an electrician has stem cutters).  The shortest you can cut a standard stem is 3 inches, to allow for ventilation of the fixture.

Adjustable Satin Nickel or Bronze Stem

Our adjustable satin nickel and bronze stems are available on most orders, and offer greater flexibility in installation.  Segments thread into one another for an easy installation.

3-inch Stem:

This option is designed for a modern, stylish semi-flush ceiling mount.

(1) 3-inch segment

15-inch Adjustable Stem:

This option is designed for positioning your fixture close to the ceiling or over a kitchen counter or bar. You can use just the 12-inch length, or add the 3-inch length for a little extra distance from the ceiling.

(1) 3-inch segment

(1) 12-inch segment

36-inch Adjustable Stem:

This is our standard stem length, perfect for most dining rooms.  If your ceiling is 8 feet high, the 24-inch segment will position the bottom of the shade at an ideal height over your dining table.  If your ceiling is 9 feet high, add the 12-inch and 24-inch segments together.  If your ceiling is 10 or more feet, please consider the 51-inch Adjustable Silver Stem.

(1) 12-inch segment

(1) 24-inch segment

51-inch Adjustable Stem:

The deluxe model gives you the ultimate flexibility in installing your fixture at the perfect height.   It has been optimized to cover nearly every installation for ceilings 8 to 10 feet tall.

(1) 3-inch segment

(2) 12-inch segments

(1) 24-inch segment

Shortest You Can Cut Stems

Black, white and bronze stems should be no shorter than 3 inches to allow for ventilation of the fixture.  The adjustable Satin Nickel Stems should not be cut at all, because the pieces thread into each other.  For the shortest satin nickel stem, please order the 15-inch adjustable stem kit, which includes a 3-inch stem piece.

Special Sizes

If you need 50 pieces or more, you can special order a longer length (lead time will be 6 weeks).  Please inquire with your special length request.

Vaulted Ceilings

You cannot hang our stem-hung styles on vaulted or angled ceilings at this time.

"Swagging" or Pulling to One Side

Some customers need to pull the pendant over to one side from where it exits from the ceiling canopy.  You cannot do this with a stem-hung style.  You will need to choose one of the "cord and canopy" options instead.

What about Track?

You cannot install our stem-hung styles on a track system.  You will need to choose one of the "cord and canopy" options instead, and you will also need track adapters from your track manufacturer.
