Pyramid Candle Rocket 7

Star Pyramid Candle – a 19 cm tall pyramid scented with vanilla and wild strawberry

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 conditions and wick care. Scent: Vanilla-wild strawberry. We make it by hand in Královské Poříčí in the Karlovy Vary Region. The SVITSOL brand was founded in 2004.

The base is shaped like a six-pointed star (a hexagram), from which the pyramid rises smoothly to its tip. Six faces break the light differently each time, so the candle changes its look depending on where you view it from. It burns inwards while the walls stay standing – gradually the pyramid turns into a small glowing lantern.

What is it made of?

The body of the candle is cast from a premium paraffin wax blend. It holds its shape even in a warm room, which matters for a nineteen-centimetre pyramid – a softer wax would start to lean over time. The wick is 100% cotton; you will not find any other kind in our candles. The scent is the Vanilla-wild strawberry combination: sweet vanilla underpinned by tangier wild strawberry.

How long does it burn?

The burn time is 19–29 hours. The spread is not imprecision but everyday reality – it depends on draughts, the room temperature and above all on whether you trim the wick before each lighting. If you keep the wick trimmed, you will reach the upper limit. If you let the flame smoke, the wax is used up sooner.

How it is made

We make every piece by hand: we mix the wax blend, scent it, pour it, colour it once it has cooled and finish the surface. Handmade means that no two pieces are ever identical down to the last detail – small variations in shade or surface texture are not a flaw but proof that no machine made it.

Where does it fit?

At 19 cm tall it is a candle you cannot overlook – on a chest of drawers, a windowsill or in the middle of the dining table. In the bedroom and bathroom it works because of its scent, in the living room more because of its shape. The hexagram base stands firmly, but it still belongs on a non-flammable surface.

It looks good in a group with pillar candles or prism candles – different heights side by side look better than three identical pieces in a row. Unlit, it serves as decoration all year round, which makes sense for a candle of this size.

Who is it a good gift for?

It suits anyone looking for a gift of handmade origin, not mass-produced goods off the shelf. It works for Christmas, birthdays, a housewarming or as a gesture for someone who is hard to buy for. The sweet scent of vanilla with strawberry is pleasant for most people – nothing sharp or heavy. The pyramid also looks good unlit, so the recipient does not have to decide straight away when to light it. If you are looking for more shapes and scents, browse our candle collections.

How to care for the candle?

Trim the wick to 5–6 mm before each lighting. A long wick smokes and the wax burns faster than it needs to. Light it in a room without draughts – the flame then stands straight and the pyramid burns down symmetrically towards the centre. Never leave a burning candle unattended, and place it on a stable, non-flammable surface. If you let it burn longer once (at least until the top layer has melted out to the sides), the following burns will be more even.

SVITSOL

We are a family business and have been making candles by hand since 2004. Our workshop is in Královské Poříčí. Over that time we have tested what holds its shape, what burns well and what fades after a few weeks on the shelf – and we choose our materials and methods accordingly. 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 candles, soaps or the Valleri Luxury collection too.
