I can’t twist the glass from the fixture. I don’t see any screws that need to be loosened. It making me angry.

    Where is it located, looks like on a wall? (Or is it a ceiling? If ceiling is there a crawl space, I doubt this would be the solution but I’ve seen weirder things)

    Can you twist the outer metal ring to find hidden screws?

    If not you may need to twist the glass harder

      Ceiling, no crawl space. When I try to twist either the glass or the ring, the whole fixture twists. This is a rental and I’m afraid of breaking the thing.

        Why are you wanting to open it? Curiosity or to fix something?

        You’re in a rental call the landlord/agency make them do something for their rental income.

        Try holding the metal ring in place with one hand and turning the glass with the other. I agree with the other suggestion about this being held up with tab slots on the glass.
