The lotus is a sacred symbol of rebirth, purity and strength - a perfect foundation for our 3" and 4" diameter pure beeswax candles. Tom Bennett of Bennett Forge Works is our friend and neighbor. He is also an incredibly gifted blacksmith who cares about beauty and durability. He designed these hand-forged candle holders especially for Bluecorn and we&';ve partnered with a team of artisans in India to have them produced fair trade. Our forged lotus holder will take both 3" and 4" diameter pillars. You can see examples of both in the images to your left and you can see that the 3" pillar will nestle down into the holder a bit more.
