How can I safely hang a heavy Murano glass lampshade from the ceiling?

Hi everyone,

I recently bought a Murano glass lampshade and I’d like to hang it from the ceiling. The problem is that it weighs about 5 kg (11 lbs), and the opening at the top is around 70 mm (7 cm).

I haven’t been able to find any lamp holders wide enough, and I’m worried that even if I do, they might not support the weight safely. The reducer rings I’ve seen only go up to 60 mm, and while I know I’d need a ceiling canopy with a safety cable, I’m not sure what specific hardware or fitting I should use to actually hang the shade.

Does anyone have experience with something like this or know what kind of piece I should be looking for?

Thanks in advance!
