Abstract: An adjustable candle holder (10) designed to accept candles (120) having diameters ranging from 0.188 to 0.75 inches (0.478 to 1.91 cm). The holder consists of a base (12) having attached a slider sleeve (26) that encloses a candle retaining assembly (45) that includes a candle concentric-gripping mechanism (78). When the slider sleeve (26) is in an upward, normal position, the mechanism (78) positions a set of candle gripping slats (80) in an inward configuration.
