There are so many different styles of pendants. But what I used for "pop" in my kitchen is an Oggetti fixture.
Here's their site. I love it.

For some reason, the lighting section isn't working now. But it might be when you try.
To go the 'collections' option and then click 'oggetti luce' when it slides under.

Thanks lightguy. The link didn't work for me either, but I'll keep trying back. Can't wait to see the light, thanks for the help.

You can also just search Google for "oggetti lighting". You'll find more than enough sellers online with Oggetti products. But see if you can get on their main site at some point- just so you can make sure you see their whole collection.

I love the beautiful art glass minis, but I've seen a few too many of them and they don't really work in my large, mission style space.

But I wanted something with some color and impact, a tradtional but unusual look.

So I'm going with these:

There's a matching 4 light as well.

Cross shopped several sites, best price was at brightspot, link below.

Hi- I've been on the same misssion for the past few months, here are a few lighting websites that I found in the process:
www.shadesoflight.com
www.rejuvenations.com (often mentioned on this site)
www.schoolhouseelectric.com
www.1800lighting.com
I still haven't chosen pendants for my kitchen- so I can't show you mine. Also you can check th FKB over in kitchen forums under galleries

Hi, I think these pendant lights (in the link)look real nice. They also have a dark bronze colored finish and sort of a cream glass.
