Some of your photos look as if the ceramic socket is held down by two
projections on the outer screwed sleeve. If so, turn the socket
anticlockwise slightly to disengage the projections, then pull.

I found a manufacturer's photo of the pendant he

but it gives less detail than your photos. According to TinEye it was
first found in 2008. The lamp was sold by Endon Lighting but is no
longer available.

Another possibility is that the brass cups screw off the stems.

If you do get the socket out, you won't find an exact replacement, but
maybe it could be cleaned up to work again.
