What is a crystal candle holder?

A crystal candle holder is a candle holder made from cut or molded crystal glass, which reflects light and creates a distinctive play of shine and colors. At Dims Studio, you’ll find carefully selected crystal candle holders focusing on both craftsmanship and aesthetic details – always with room for personality and surprising shapes.

Materials and types of crystal candle holders

Crystal candle holders are made from lead-free or leaded crystal glass, often extra clear and heavy. Many of the holders at Dims Studio are hand-cut or molded in shapes where facets and edges highlight the light’s refraction. You’ll find both classic models with clean lines and modern, colored versions. Some designs play with colored inlays or contrasting details, while others stick to the pure clear look. Crystal holders can be solid or hollow, depending on design and weight.

Sizes and dimensions

Crystal candle holders typically range in height from 7 cm to 25 cm. The smallest models suit small pillar candles or taper candles, while the taller ones can hold both regular and extra tall candles. The diameter of the candle holder’s base usually ranges between 5 and 12 cm, providing stability on the table. Some holders fit a single candle, while others have multiple arms or double holders, letting you create dynamic arrangements on the dining table or windowsill.
