I have had excellent service from VZ Grips 1911 Pistol Grips

I know they are common and not terribly pretty but IMHO you cannot beat the hogue ones that wrap around to provide finger grooves, that soft, easy to grip rubber just feels amazing to me.

I like this guy's work, ran across him for my mak... the pics are of the STYLES he has a big page of the woods and so on you can get any style in any wood combo with various textures.

I've ordered a few sets and they look great on a 1911.

Has the best custom wood grips for 1911, hands down. He does not checker but he does stippling. I have a set on my EDC and love the non checkered grips.

These are Amboyna Burl. He has exotic wood or just standard stuff. Great quality, you really should check them out.

wow those are hot ^

What Jonnin said. They ain't much to look at but they sure feel good.

Hogue makes more than just the generic wrap arounds with finger groves (but they are very comfy and great value!). Take a look at the extreme series g10's. Not sure what sort of "pretty" you are going for, but they have some damn fine looking g10's.

or some of their wood ones.
