"Absolutely perfect! This candle was exactly what I dreamed it would be". - Sappho's Refillable Candle Holder Review

Why a Refillable Candle Holder?

We wanted to create a candle solution that prioritises reusability without compromising on beauty.
Meet Sappho's Angels - our first luxury refillable holder design. Featuring luscious sapphic artwork by the talented Mayticks - this concrete cutie was made to be loved, and used again and again. 💖
This is a limited-edition design, with only 100 pieces made in three colourways (black, white, and pink).

Really beautiful!!!

Absolutely beautiful candle holder. I bought it for holding little trinkets instead since I can’t handle candle scents ect but it truly is a gorgeous piece! Unfortunately the little top bit broke off in transit but I was able to glue it back on with no issue so all is still good!!!!

This is thee most gorgeous and well made candle holder I’ve ever seen. The fine detail on the candle holder is so intricate and stunning. The actual candles themselves smell absolutely divine and can’t wait to try them both on a long burn. 5*

Gorgeous

It is sooooo luxe and elegant! It feels heavy in a super quality way and looks stunning from every angle. It really is the perfect size of not too large or small. The artwork is such a show stopper and it's the most wonderful addition to my home <3

I love all of my boxes I purchased from MeltDown Studio

I love all of my boxes I purchased from MeltDown Studio. They are beautifully presented and so much colour and detail. They are also very unique and special. Mine are sitting next to my candelabra on my dinner table ready to use.
