Seeded glass pendant lights get their name from the tiny air bubbles, or "seeds," trapped inside the glass. Old window makers couldn't get every bubble out, and today people love that look. When the bulb is on, those little bubbles catch the light and sparkle. The glass also hides fingerprints and dust better than plain clear glass, which is handy over a busy kitchen counter.
We're one of the only lighting companies that still makes its lights here in America. Every one of our seeded glass pendant lights is put together by hand by skilled artisans in our shop, not stamped out on a machine overseas. We use UL-rated parts, so you can hang it and quit worrying. You get a sturdy light built by people who care how it turns out.
Seeded glass pendant lighting is a favorite over the kitchen island. Hang two or three in a row and you'll have plenty of light for rolling out pie crust, helping the grandkids with homework, or sharing coffee with a neighbor. Aim for the bottom of each shade to sit about 30 to 36 inches above the counter, and space them about 24 to 30 inches apart.
Farmhouse seeded glass pendant lights pair bubbly glass with simple metal frames in black, bronze, or brass. They look like something you'd find in an old general store or a 1930s schoolhouse. Put one over the sink or a pair over the breakfast table, and your kitchen will feel like Grandma's did, only brighter.
Large seeded glass pendant lights make a fine centerpiece over a dining table, in a tall entryway, or in a family room with high ceilings. One big fixture can do the work of two or three small ones. A good rule of thumb is to pick a shade about half to two-thirds as wide as the table below it.
Clear seeded shade glass pendant lights let the most light through of any seeded style. The glass is clear apart from the bubbles, so you can see the bulb inside. That looks great with an old-style filament bulb, and it keeps the kitchen bright and cheerful at suppertime.
A clear seeded glass pendant light is just the thing over a kitchen sink, where you need good light to see what you're doing. One small fixture fits the space without crowding it. A quick wipe with a soft cloth keeps the glass shining, and the bubbles help hide water spots between cleanings.
A pendant light with seeded glass works well where a big fixture would take over. Try one at the end of a hallway, beside the bed, or above a favorite reading chair. You get a warm pool of light and a little sparkle on the ceiling, all from one small shade.
A brush nickel seeded glass pendant light has a soft silver finish that goes well with white cabinets, stainless appliances, and chrome faucets. It feels a little more up to date than bronze or black, and the bubbly glass keeps that old-fashioned warmth. It's a nice way to mix new and old in the same room.
