Set against black ceramic instead of white, a gold pentacle takes on a different tone — deeper, more contained, closer to candlelight against a night sky. This chime candle holder pairs that black-and-gold finish with a base built specifically for a single chime or spell candle, keeping it upright and steady while it burns.
The pentacle itself, a five-pointed star within a circle, is a well-known symbol in Wiccan and Pagan practice, with its five points traditionally read as earth, air, fire, water, and spirit. Here it's applied purely as decoration on a functional piece; the holder doesn't grant any property associated with the symbol, it simply displays it while doing the practical work of holding a candle safely off the surface beneath it.
The base measures 1.25 inches by 1 inch, sized for chime and spell candles rather than the wider footprint of a taper or pillar. The black glaze also makes it a natural match for darker altar cloths, obsidian or other black stones, and evening or nighttime rituals where a lighter finish would stand out too much.
Since chime work is often done with several candles at once, this holder is worth ordering in the number your setup calls for — it ships as a single piece, and pairs well with our black silver-pentacle finish if you want a matched pair or a larger set in the same color family.
Wipe the glaze with a soft, dry cloth to keep the gold detailing sharp; avoid harsh scrubbing, which wears down painted finishes faster than gentle care. Stored indoors away from direct sun, the black glaze and gold detailing should hold their look through years of regular use.
