I've recently purchased another Firstlight rise and fall pendant in brushed nickel. This is to go with the metallic fittings in the kitchen ie sockets and cupboard handles. This is in addition to the original antique brass pendant in the adjacent dining area. They are an excellent centrepiece for the price but personally I don't think they would work in groups. Also available in white. Sorry I can't provide a picture.

Over a 1.6 mtr Island I would go for just the 2 as there is no Appliances in it spacing should be approx. 900mm centre to centre which would give 350mm centre to edge of island. the 3 pendants look good over the table but 3 might be a bit busy over an Island, one other thing to consider tho is the output of each light and if low output then maybe 3 could be better but without that information it is a bit hit and miss. Do you have downlights too , all these various elements go to towards the spread of light , so very little shadowing is best.

Wow Sarah that looks absolutely brilliant! Similar position as the lights in the link that Twyla sent look gorgeous but a bit over my budget (we're doing an extension and literally everything has come in over budget 😩) How lovely to make your own, I think I'm going to attempt it! Thank you very much for the detail on how to do it, very much appreciated! Hope IKEA still have the shades. Thank you everyone! ❤️

Pendants over an island are fantastic for mood and task lighting - as long as you maintain your extract system regularly they should clear most of the steam/moisture but you will occasionally need to clean the lighting so ensure it is easily removable etc. Be careful with glass over the food area just in case of an accident. Our wrought iron pendants are available with a hardwearing lacquered finish and we offer LED bulbs with a 5 year warranty to go with them. https://www.nigeltyas.co.uk/nigel-tyas-news/post/lighting-the-heart-of-the-home.html
