These wick trimmers are beautiful and functional. A wick that is too long will cause excess smoke and sooting, plus excess wick debris to collect at the top of the wick, not fun and not safe. An untrimmed wick can also cause the candle to burn too hot, which can affect the fragrance and cause your candle to burn up faster than necessary. - classic brushed gold finish - each piece is engraved with "REWINED" - angled, flat cutting surface makes for easy use - 6.5" length - unique addition to your candle display
