Using this candle stick holder is easy. Just place a candle in the holder and light it. It'll add a touch of elegance to any room. When handling, be gentle as the Swarovski crystals are delicate. To keep it looking great, clean it with a soft, dry cloth regularly. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they can damage the 14K gold finish and the enamel. Store it in a cool, dry place when not in use to prevent any tarnishing.
