Borosilicate Glass Ball – 5 Inch Gold Spiked Globe Chandelier Component

A handcrafted gold amber glass ball in borosilicate glass, this 5-inch (≈12.7 cm) round globe is a replacement and build-your-own component for chandeliers, jhumars, pendant clusters and decorative wall lights. The surface is textured with large optic dimples that scatter light into a soft, layered glow. Pairs with warm-white LEDs for a rich, honeyed amber effect.

Where it fits

• Multi-arm chandeliers and traditional jhumars where several globes hang close together — the 5-inch size sits neatly between arms without crowding them.
• Pendant clusters in dining rooms and entryways, replacing one cracked or dated shade without rewiring the host fixture.
• Wall bracket sconces where a warm, diffused glow suits the room better than a bare bulb.
• Explore other shapes in our glass chandelier components collection to mix and match across a single fixture.

Why you’ll use it every day

Replace one cracked globe instead of buying a new chandelier — restore a treasured jhumar at a fraction of the cost. The gold glass turns a plain bulb into a warm, glare-free amber glow that is easy on tired eyes and flattering over a dining table or in an entryway at night. The optic dimple pattern breaks the light into gentle pools across the ceiling and walls, giving ordinary dinners and gatherings a soft festive feel without the harshness of a bare bulb. Borosilicate glass is heat-resistant, so it sits safely close to the lamp without the stress-cracking or yellowing of ordinary glass over time.

Light & finish

Unlit, the glass reads as a warm honey-amber translucent globe. Lit with a warm-white LED (2700–3000 K), it deepens into a rich, honeyed amber glow; the optic dimple surface breaks the light into gentle, overlapping pools rather than a single harsh beam. It pairs naturally with antique brass metal, antique gold metal and walnut wood fittings. Avoid cold-white or daylight bulbs, which turn the amber glass a pale, washed-out yellow.
