The gold goes where the flaw is
Each holder is textured by hand while the cement is still soft. Where the surface runs uneven, that is exactly where the gold foil goes. Nothing is smoothed away first, so the small irregularities become the pattern.
Once cured, the wax is poured in ivory, onyx or blush and a cotton wick is set by hand. The wax burns down and is replaced many times. The holder stays and gathers its own history.
