ORIGINALLY $182

Cream, ivory, honey, and warm caramel veining come together in this pair of hand-carved onyx taper candle holders. Each piece is carved from solid natural stone, revealing layered mineral bands, subtle translucency, and organic surface texture shaped by the earth over centuries.

This set includes two coordinating holders, each with its own distinct character. Light tone pieces feature soft milky whites and pale amber movement, while darker tone pieces lean into richer honey, sand, and earth-toned striations. No two sets are ever the same.

Designed to feel grounded and sculptural, these holders bring warmth and quiet presence to a dining table, console, nightstand, or shelf. Beautiful both lit and unlit, they’re meant to be lived with and appreciated slowly.

Hand-carved by artisans in Balochistan, Pakistan and finished in California using only food-grade beeswax. No polish. No resin. Just stone, as it is.

— the origin

carved from a single stone.

Onyx forms in slow, mineral-rich pockets underground — layers laid down over thousands of years. Each slab is split once, then carved by hand, which is why no two pieces share the same ribboning.

We keep the walls thin so light passes through when the piece sits on a window ledge.
