Pyramid Candle Rocket 3

Star Pyramid Candle – handmade in Královské Poříčí

This pyramid is 19 cm tall, with a base diameter of 9 cm and a weight of 0.26 kg; it is cast from a premium paraffin wax blend and fitted with a one hundred per cent cotton wick. It burns for 19–29 hours, depending on the conditions in the room and on wick care. Scents: Euphoria and Orange. We make it by hand in our workshop in Královské Poříčí in the Karlovy Vary Region.

The base is shaped like a hexagram – a six-pointed star. From it, triangular faces rise to the tip, and as the candle burns the light travels across them so that the shadows on the wall change all evening. The shape is not just for show: each face has to sit exactly right, otherwise the pyramid warps as it cools. That is why it is poured slowly and left to cool in peace.

What is it made of?

It is made from a premium paraffin wax blend that we mix ourselves in the workshop. Paraffin holds sharp edges – with a pyramid that has such a narrow tip, that is essential; a softer material would crumble when taken out of the mould. The wick is one hundred per cent cotton and burns calmly, without crackling.

How long does it burn?

19–29 hours. The range is not caution but reality: in a draught, next to an open window or with a long wick the candle burns down faster, while in a calm room with the wick trimmed to 5–6 mm it lasts to the upper limit. Lit in the evening in the usual way, it will last you many evenings.

How big is it and how much does it weigh?

Height 19 cm, base diameter 9 cm, weight 0.26 kg. Nineteen centimetres is a height that will not get lost even on a large chest of drawers, and you can feel the weight in your hand – with a gift, you notice it before you even unwrap it.

What is worth noticing about the Star

• Hexagram base – six points, a symbol of balance; it also holds the candle firmly on its base.
• Sharp pyramid edges – clean geometry that works in modern and classic interiors.
• Play of light and shadow – the faces reflect the flame, so the candle “comes alive” even without movement.
• Handmade from start to finish – mixing the wax blend, scenting, colour decoration, final finishing.
• Cotton wick – burns calmly, without crackling.

Where does it fit?

The Star draws attention on a chest of drawers in the living room, on a bedside table or on a festively laid table. In the bathroom next to the bath it works as the only source of light. Unlit, it serves as decoration – the shape speaks for itself.

For a composition we recommend combining different heights. Add pillar candles or prism candles; a group of three pieces in graduated heights looks well thought out and takes no extra effort.

Who we choose it for

For people who prefer one proper piece to five trinkets. It holds its own as a gift – you can see that someone made it by hand. It suits anniversaries, birthdays or as a small gift for your host. If you want to keep browsing, you will find more shapes in our candle collections or among our romantic candles.

What do Euphoria and Orange smell like?

Orange is bright and clear right after lighting, while Euphoria lasts longer and gives the blend depth. The citrus note fits naturally in the kitchen and living room; for the bedroom we recommend it rather for shorter evening burns.

How to care for the candle?

Trim the wick to 5–6 mm before each lighting. A short wick means a smaller flame, less soot and even burning. Place the candle on a stable, non-flammable surface, away from draughts and out of reach of children and pets. Never leave a burning candle unattended.

Let the first burn last longer, so that the melted layer reaches all the way to the edges. If you rush it, a narrow tunnel burns into the pyramid and the walls are left standing unused.

Who makes the Star?

The SVITSOL brand was founded in 2004, and we have made our candles by hand from the start. Our workshop is on a farm in Královské Poříčí in the Karlovy Vary Region. In twenty-two years we have found out what holds its shape and what does not, which wax blend can take fine edges and which we prefer to keep for simpler shapes. None of that can be worked out at a desk – it is the result of years at the moulds.
