ANGEL Candle – Icy Red with Glitter, Vanilla-Strawberry, 8 cm

ANGEL Candle – icy red with glitter, vanilla and wild strawberry fragrance

The Christmas ANGEL candle is 8 cm tall, 4.5 cm in diameter and weighs 0.05 kg. It is cast from a premium paraffin wax blend (palm oil free), the wick is cotton, and the burn time is 6–12 hours. The fragrance is vanilla-wild strawberry, and the colour is icy white-red with glitter worked directly into the wax. We make it by hand on the farm in Královské Poříčí in the Karlovy Vary Region.

At Christmas, red stands for light, warmth and a sheltered home – which is why the angel candle is often given as a small gift with a wish for peace. The glitter is not sprinkled on the surface but mixed into the wax, so it does not fall off and keeps its effect for the whole burn time.

Where the candle stands out

Its compact size suits a windowsill, the Christmas table or a shelf. It looks lovely on its own or with several pieces side by side – red Christmas candles in a row on a windowsill are the simplest Christmas decoration you can get. In the bedroom it gives calm light before sleep, in the living room a festive mood when guests come. Always place it on a non-flammable surface, out of reach of children and animals.

About candles for angel chimes – precision matters here. Classic angel chimes are built for thin candles about 1.3 cm in diameter, and this figural candle does not belong in the chime holder – its 4.5 cm diameter is too large for it. As a decoration next to the chimes, however, it works well and complements them in shape and colour. We do not make battery LED candles for chimes at all; we only make wax candles that really burn.

How to get the most out of it

Trim the wick to 5–7 mm before each lighting. The first time, let the candle burn for at least 2 hours so that a melt pool forms across the whole diameter – the wax then “remembers” how to burn, and the candle will not burn down only in the middle. Do not let it burn for longer than 2–3 hours at a time. Keep it out of draughts; in a draught the flame smokes and the wax runs unevenly.

What goes into this candle

• Handmade in Královské Poříčí – poured by a person, not a machine. That is why every piece is slightly different.
• Vanilla and wild strawberry – a sweet, gentle fragrance. It scents a smaller room without overpowering food or other candles nearby.
• Burn time 6–12 hours – depending on room temperature, draughts and wick length.
• Cotton wick – burns evenly, does not smoke.
• Glitter in the wax itself – does not shed or mess up the tablecloth.
• Weight 0.05 kg – easy to pack and send as a little extra with a gift.

Who it is for

The angel candle is a small gift with meaning – for a mother, grandmother, friend or colleague. It is not a gift that puts anyone under obligation, and yet it is not empty. It also works as an addition to an Advent wreath or to a gift package with something bigger. It suits Christmas decorations at home, in the office and on the festive table.

SVITSOL tradition

The SVITSOL brand was founded in 2004, and we have been making candles by hand for more than 20 years. We work on the farm in Královské Poříčí, where we have our workshop and a pickup point. Some of our candles are cast using a faithful copy of a roughly 130-year-old mould, the original of which we keep. It is slow work – the wax has to cool at its own pace, otherwise the surface cracks.

This means you are buying a product where you know who made it and where. With Christmas decorations, that is not something to take for granted.
