Using this candle holder is easy. Simply place a pillar or tealight candle in the opening at the top. It's great for adding a touch of elegance to various events like weddings or for home decor. When using it, make sure to place it on a flat and heat - resistant surface to prevent any damage. Always keep it away from flammable materials. To maintain its shine, use a soft cloth to gently wipe the metal part. For the crystals, you can use a mild cleaning solution and a soft brush to clean them. Remember, only the candle holder is included in the sale, so don't expect any additional decorations.
