Product Description
These Mexican jewel-studded punched tin cone pendant lamps deliver big graphic presence and warm, patterned light. A broad, shallow cone spreads illumination widely over tables or islands. Concentric bands of punched decoration climb the form and compress toward the apex, reinforcing the taper. Scattered colored cabochons glow as jeweled points when lit. A smoke-washed pewter/bronze patina shows gentle hand rubbing for depth. Rolled hems stiffen the edges and keep the cone true. The look is handmade, luminous, and unmistakably Mexican punched tin.
Material and Craftsmanship
Lightweight tin sheet is cut, formed, and soldered from the inside. Patterns are laid out with a compass and struck by hand using chisels and punches. Slots, rounds, and tiny star piercings build a layered rhythm. Cabochon holes are dapped and flanged; glass jewels are bezel-set and crimped. Rolled hems and beaded ribs keep the large cone rigid and safe to handle.

Lighting Effect
The open bottom delivers strong downlight for tasks. Perforation bands emit rings of small dashes and star pinpoints. Cabochons read as saturated dots of color with soft halos on nearby surfaces. Slot rows also vent heat at the apex to protect the patina.
