Gilded Trio Candle Set

Gold, silver and pearl — three metallic vessels that look like jewellery on a table and glow beautifully when lit. A festive centrepiece for Diwali, Christmas and New Year, and a generous corporate gift.

Caring for your candle

• First burn: let the wax melt to the edges of the vessel (about one hour per 2.5 cm of width) so it never tunnels.
• Trim the wick to about 5 mm before every light for a clean, steady flame.
• Burn for up to 4 hours at a time, away from draughts, curtains, children and pets.
• Stop when 1 cm of wax remains, then wash and reuse the vessel for flowers, stationery or tealights.
