Martin already has suggested the usage of Clearlooks-phenix but sadly this theme also has some bugs (http://jpfleury.indefero.net/p/clearlooks-phenix/issues/). Zukitwo is a good looking option but the GTK3 version is no longer rendered correctly with gtk 3.6. Several bugs have been reported by me to the original authors of these themes, but have not yet been fixed.

People have suggested the shimmer project themes too.
I use 
http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/MediterraneanNight?content=148398 
which has light, medium and dark versions. Maybe it's not of everyone's 
taste but it works very well.
