Hmm...I'm not familiar with that combination.

Do you mean ceiling lights that are not true chandeliers and pendants that have crystals? Let me know if this clarifies anything. Mini pendant lights by brands such as Corbett come in crystal and can often be mistaken for a chandelier. A chandelier such as one made by Hubbardton Forge has multiple arms that hold the lamps. A pendant light such as one made by Justice Design--you can imagine as a single drop earring--a single piece without arms.

There's also a third option, the foyer light. Maybe the fixture is a foyer light. I'm pretty confident that what you are describing is actually a foyer light because it has arms like a chandelier but it is one unit, structured like a pendant. Foyer lights are tall and used for entryways. Compare your "chandelier pendant" to a foyer light by Kalco lighting. I bet that's what you are looking for.

A chandelier is a decorative ceiling-mounted light fixture. Chandeliers are often ornate, and normally use limelight lamps. Crystal chandeliers have more or less complex arrays of crystal prisms to illuminate a room with refracted light.

A crystal chandelier can feature many crystal types and are fine ones are typically thousands of dollars and more. They are highly sought after by commercial designers.
