Still renovating…these pendant lights are gorgeous!  Gold is brushed gold and not as light as champagne bronze (cabinet hardware and soon to be installed faucet).  If buying seeded glass, I advise buying a couple more than you need as seeding varies with much more in some and less in others.  Cord is clear, but initially stiff.  It works itself out, though, so no worries there. They are super easy to install. FYI, mine aren’t snug to ceiling as I plan to paint without having to tape.  Perk is they cast a beautiful shadow on ceiling at night.
