Pyramid Candle Rocket 5

Star Pyramid Candle – 19 cm tall, 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 with a 100% cotton wick and burns for 19–29 hours depending on the conditions in the room. Scents: Dream and Vanilla-apple. Every piece is made by hand in our workshop in Královské Poříčí in the Karlovy Vary Region.

What is it made of?

The base is a premium paraffin wax blend that our workshop mixes and pours itself. Over the years of production we have tried many blends and stuck with the one that holds a sharp edge on a pyramid and does not warp in storage. The wick is 100% cotton, in a thickness that matches the 9 cm diameter – a thicker wick would melt the wax faster than the flame could burn it, a thinner one would hollow out a narrow tunnel in the middle.

The scent is mixed right into the wax, not sprayed onto the surface. It is released gradually as the candle burns, so it lasts even after several evenings.

How long does it burn?

The burn time is 19–29 hours. The range is not an excuse – it depends on draughts, the room temperature and whether you trim the wick. A candle burning in a quiet corner of the living room lasts considerably longer than the same one on a windowsill next to a slightly open window.

What shape is it, and why?

The hexagram-shaped base – a Star of David – flows into a slim pyramid. Six flat faces play with the light differently from a smooth pillar: the flame glides over them and the shadows change over the evening. The clean geometry works as well in a modern interior as in a classic one, and the candle looks good even unlit, as a decoration on its own on a chest of drawers or in a bookcase.

The symbolism of the hexagram refers to balance. Some people feel it, others simply enjoy the nice shape – both are fine.

How we make it

Every piece passes through our hands. We mix the wax blend, scent it, pour it, colour it and finish the surface. Handmade means that no two pieces are ever exactly alike – small variations in shade or surface texture are not a flaw but proof that no machine made it.

• Hexagram base – a six-pointed star, not an ordinary hexagon.
• Pyramid shape – height 19 cm, diameter 9 cm.
• Paraffin wax blend – premium quality, proven over years of production.
• Cotton wick – 100% cotton, clean burning without crackling.
• Two scents – Dream and Vanilla-apple.

Where does it fit?

Living room, bedroom, bathroom, a festively laid table. Thanks to its 19 cm height it stands out even among other decorations. It works nicely in a group with pillar candles or prism candles – a mix of different heights and shapes looks more considered than three identical pieces side by side.

As a gift it works for birthdays, Christmas or just because. It suits anyone looking for something specific and properly made, not a mass-produced piece off the shelf. You will find more options in our candle collections or among our romantic candles.

What do Dream and Vanilla-apple smell like?

Dream is a quieter evening scent – it suits the bedroom and the moments when the day is drawing to a close. Vanilla-apple is warmer and sweeter and suits the kitchen and living room, especially in the colder months. Both are mixed right into the wax, so they are released gradually as the candle burns and do not fade after the first evening.

How to care for the candle?

Trim the wick to 5–6 mm before each lighting – a long wick smokes and the flame becomes restless. Place the candle on a stable, non-flammable surface and never leave it burning unattended. Avoid draughts; where there is a draught, the wax runs down one side and the pyramid burns down crooked. The first time you light it, let it burn until the wax has melted across its full width – this creates an even pool and the candle lasts longer.

SVITSOL – 22 years of handmade production

We have been making candles since 2004. Our workshop is in Královské Poříčí in the Karlovy Vary Region, and this pyramid comes from there too. Over that time we have learned which wax blends hold their shape, which wick belongs to which candle thickness and what survives the journey to the customer. You can order in our e-shop or drop in to the gallery and workshop to see the candles in person. Take a look at our other candles, soaps or the Valleri Luxury collection too.
