Brass & Opal Milk Glass Pendant

A perfectly vintage schoolhouse pendant for under $75? Dreams really do come true. This one’s a personal favorite of mine (cue loving sigh). The opal milk glass diffuses light beautifully, casting a warm, inviting glow, while the brass accents add just the right touch of elegance.


Brass Cone Pendant

Clean lines and a warm brass finish make this pendant a versatile option for both modern and traditional spaces. The rounded edges lean more traditional, while the brass adds a timeless touch. It’s perfect over a kitchen island or sink, where a simple design can make a big impact.

White Ceramic Pendant

The matte white ceramic finish gives this pendant a beautifully handmade feel, making it a perfect choice for kitchens or dining areas. Its simple design brings just the right amount of texture and interest without going overboard. And let’s talk about that braided cord, it’s such a subtle detail, but it adds so much charm.

This pendant’s frosted glass design brings a soft, classic touch to any room, making it ideal for entryways or dining rooms where a gentle glow sets the mood. And let’s take a moment for this shape… it’s perfectly vintage in all the best ways. Under $100? Absolute perfection.
