Swetlitsa candles: The Makaravank collection

Светлица /svɛt'litsə/ candles are handmade without the use of molds, so each one varies slightly in size and weight. Sculpted from beeswax collected from selected apiaries, they carry the essence of its terroir — unique scent and color.

The 'Makaravnk' collection is inspired by the architectural elements of Makaravank Monastery in Armenia, and it's made out of beeswax collected from the same region, at Vladimir Katalkhyan's apiary, just a few minutes' walk from the monastery.
