Swazi - Fair Trade - Hand Made - Elephant Candle

Swazi - Fair Trade - Hand Made - Elephant Candle

A work of art in wax. Swazi artisans at Swazi Candles in the small African Kingdom of Swaziland apply these beautiful patterns by hand, using the age-old trade bead multi-layered technique of millefiore, or 'thousand flowers', perfected in the glass-making city of Murano, Italy. Adapted and utilized in the African candle-making craft. The soft inner core creates a translucent lens that spreads the light throughout the entire candle bringing the pattern to life as soon as it is lit. The hard outer core of the candle, which hardly melts when the candle is lit creates a mystical glow as the inner wax burns down leaving the outer layer intact. 

Swazi Candles believe strongly in the principles of Fair Trade and are founding members of SWIFT (Swaziland Fair Trade Association).
