When a crystal chandelier is too imposing, a candelabrum may be just right for a formal dinner. The Celeste from Godinger blends the traditional three-candle shape with a touch of kitsch in the form of crystal teardrops that dangle from each holder. Crafted of heavy crystal, the candelabrum features two curved side arms and a raised central post, each of which holds a standard taper. The flared base provides stability, and the decoration is minimal for a relatively clean look.Godinger, renowned for both silver and crystal pieces for the home, is the brand of choice for many newlyweds. The candelabrum makes a truly unique gift, especially when three long tapers are included, and like all fine crystal, the piece should be carefully washed by hand, as dishwashers and detergent can dull its exceptional clarity.
