Please help me choose 2 Pendants for 8 1/2 foot island

Please help me decide!

For our open open floor plan townhouse, we will have an 8 1/2 foot island that's 40 inches wide. Ceilings are 8 feet. My entire kitchen area is only about 160 inches by 193 inches.


I prefer two pendants (especially because the center of the island and the center of the cabinets behind the island do not line up). Also, with an 8 foot ceiling, it seems to me that putting a pendant over the sink where we already have a faucet, looks crowded.


And now that my eye has gotten used to seeing 2 large pendants over an island, it seems to me that 2 of these Retro Green Pendants at 13 3/4 inch (35 cm) might be too small: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1174654649/retro-pendant-lights-hanging-light?click_key=96f5bf3920b57aab6fa10c06a4119db50539d086%3A1174654649&click_sum=aed45d62&ref=hp_rf-3&frs=1&sts=1&variation0=2914035119. Do you think they are too small???


If I were to go with a larger pendant, it would be this Dome Pendant in 19 1/2 inches (50 cm) : https://www.etsy.com/listing/1285485448/diameter-50-cm-modern-pendant-light?click_key=4f2e57b087e661a4f5ac1f01f453906b43d67319%3A1285485448&click_sum=7a77e3c3&ref=as_recently_viewed-1&frs=1&sts=1 ? (This pendant can be made in green). But I am afraid that the 19 1/2 inch size is too big and bold looking for my space.


Alternatively, I could go with the Dome Pendant in 15 3/4 inches (40 cm). What do you think of that size????


I have read a dozen articles about pendant sizes and spacing, but I am still unsure. Please share your thoughts with me! Thanks!!!
