Crafted using recycled metal. Due to the malleable nature of the metal used, the cut-out metal sheet may be slightly bent in transit but can be easily restored by pushing the metal in its place from the opposite direction. This piece is artistically created by hand where beauty and imperfections go together wonderfully. Please accept and appreciate minor imperfections and variations which are true characteristics of this craft.
design: A gilded crescent moon rises from a slim round base, its curved metal body pierced all over with a dense field of tiny cutouts that catch and scatter candlelight.
size: Measures 10.5" x 7" x 4.5"; candleholder plate is 3.5" in diameter; holds a candle up to 3.25" in diameter. Sold individually.
material: Recycled metal sheet, gold-tone finish

care: Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth to keep the metal's shine, and avoid harsh cleaners that could dull the finish.
disclaimer: Because it's hand-pierced from malleable recycled metal, slight bends or variations in the cutout pattern are normal and part of its handcrafted character.
Meaning & Intention
The crescent moon has long stood as a symbol of transition and quiet power — not the full blaze of noon, but the gentler light that guides us through uncertainty. Across cultures it marks cycles: waxing and waning, rest and renewal, the reminder that nothing stays fixed and that change itself can be graceful.
Here, that symbolism becomes literal. Hundreds of hand-pierced cutouts transform solid metal into something porous and alive, letting a single candle flame multiply into a scatter of light across the walls and ceiling. It's a small, tangible echo of how intuition works — not a floodlight, but many small points of insight forming a fuller picture.
As a candle holder, the moon shape also carries an invitation to slow down with the evening. Lighting it becomes a brief ritual of its own: a pause between the busyness of day and the stillness of night, marked by warmth and pattern rather than words.
Set on a nightstand, mantel, or meditation altar, this lantern turns an ordinary candle-lighting moment into a small evening ritual — a few minutes to dim the room, watch the light scatter through its cutouts, and let the day soften before rest.

Questions & Guidance
What size candle does this holder fit?
The candleholder plate is 3.5" in diameter and holds a candle up to 3.25" in diameter. Candle not included.
Is the candle included?
No, this piece is sold as the metal lantern only; light or candle is not included.
Why might my lantern arrive slightly bent?
It's hand-cut from a malleable recycled metal sheet, so the delicate cutout pattern can shift a bit in transit. You can gently press the metal back into place from the opposite side to restore its shape.
Is each piece exactly the same?
Because it's handmade, you may notice small variations in the cutout pattern or finish from piece to piece — a natural mark of fair trade craftsmanship, not a flaw.
What color options are available?
This lantern comes in two finishes: a warm gold-tone and a rustic copper-tone.
