An opal glass globe held in a slim metal ring is the product configured here. You can change the metal finish and the size, then send the build as a quote request.
Globe pendants are often bought in groups, most commonly a row over a kitchen island. That turns a simple product choice into a small lighting plan. Buyers need to decide how many globes, what size, how far apart and how low they should hang. The metal finish ties the row to the rest of the kitchen, often matching the tap, the cabinet handles or the bar stool frames.

What you can configure
With opal glass the light barely changes between finishes, so the frame is mostly about coordination with the other metals in the room. Chrome, polished brass, matte black and brushed nickel can be compared here; satin bronze and matte white complete the range. Small, medium or large is saved to the summary, and a production build would add an image for each size.

Why a configurator suits pendants
When pendants are sold in multiples, mistakes multiply too. Three globes that are too large crowd an island; three that are too small look like an afterthought. A configurator can show a row of the chosen size over an island of known length, so the buyer sees spacing and scale before committing to several units at once.
Of the 18 finish and size combinations, polished brass and chrome are the hardest to photograph because they mirror the studio. Rendering every finish under the same lighting gives a fair comparison. That matters when a buyer is trying to match brass pendants to brass taps bought from a different supplier, and has only the screen to judge by.
There is a strong trade market as well. Kitchen studios, developers and hospitality designers order globe pendants in quantity for bars, restaurants and show homes. A quote route with quantity, finish and delivery details, and a saved specification for repeat orders, suits them far better than a consumer basket built for one or two lights.
How a production version would be built
I would build this from a 3D model with the glass and frame as separate materials, so each finish is a material swap and each size a scale change. A row view, showing two or three pendants over an island, can be generated from the same model. The brand supplies codes, sizes, glass weight, ceiling fixing requirements and lamp details. The configured order can go to a WooCommerce basket with the quantity carried across, or to a trade quote for larger multiples.

Questions about pendant configurators
Can the configurator show a row of pendants over a kitchen island?
It can, and for this product it is the most useful view. The buyer chooses how many pendants and the island length, and the configurator shows them evenly spaced at the chosen size. That answers the two things buyers worry about most, spacing and scale. The quantity then carries straight into the basket or quote.
How do we show polished brass and chrome without studio reflections?
Render them from a 3D model in a controlled environment, so reflections are consistent and flattering across every finish. Photography can work, but polished metals pick up the camera and the lights. A close-up of the ring where it meets the glass helps buyers judge the finish properly.
Can we give guidance on hanging height over an island?
Yes. A short guide beside the size option can explain typical drop heights for islands and dining tables, and a simple side view can show the pendant above a worktop with people seated. Ceiling height can be an input, so the configurator suggests a suitable cable length.
Can hospitality buyers request the same pendant in large quantities?
They can. A trade route collects quantity, finish, size and delivery details and sends a structured quote to your team or CRM. The specification can be saved for future sites, so a restaurant group can reorder the same pendant without re-specifying it. Lead times for larger orders can be shown at the same point.
