Fixture Fixation: COPPER & BRASS PENDANTS

Image: Pinterest

More than any other accessory lately, lighting continually captures my attention because it offers drama and mood while providing a very necessary function.

I have been particularly fixated on copper and brass pendants. If it's polished and gold-tone, I XOXO it.  And I find that I am gravitating toward the rounded curvy shapes. From spheres to ellipses, these suspended fixtures are as magical as sunshine, an orange moon, or a golden egg. And even though they're trending and glam, they're also classic like a new shiny penny.
Here are 6 styles that I like a lot.

 At the Vegas Market, Camerich's dome copper pendants caught our eye.
Lighting seems to be a new category for this modern furniture company from Seattle.

Michele Varian's brass aperture pendant is adjustable. Direct the flow of light by opening and closing the metal leaves.  I featured some of her other fixtures in Miss Blogworthy's ICFF round-up a few months ago.

Matte but by no means dull, Schoolhouse Electric's made-in-Portland Isaac Pendant has an 8" shade.

 Craving a little bit more texture, these hammered pendants were found on Claire Zinnecker's "Hint of Gold" Pinterest board by way of Apartment Therapy by way of Dunlin.

I like pretty metallic things around the house and I also like to wear them.

I rock this cuff almost every day. I get a ton of compliments on it.
Bought at a consignment shop for $4, it is major bang for buck.
