Using this Jay Strongwater candle stick holder is easy. Simply place your candle in the holder and light it up. This will add a warm and elegant touch to any room. When handling, be gentle as the Swarovski crystals are delicate. Avoid knocking it against hard surfaces to prevent damage. For maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the holder and keep it clean. Don't use any harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they may scratch the enamel or damage the gold finish. Store it in a safe place when not in use, preferably in its gift box to protect it from dust and scratches.
