Candle holder band

The claimed invention relates to a means for grasping and carrying a hot candle holder, such as a jar candle container, containing an illuminated candle and which comprises a band made of a thermal insulating rubber that is adapted to fit snugly around the candle holder and provide enhanced gripping capability for the user. In its preferred embodiment, the band is circular in shape, made of a flexible elastic silicone rubber material and is at least one inch wide and one eighth inch thick. When secured around the container, in addition to serving as functional means to carry a hot candle, the band is designed to provide aesthetic and decorative feature to the jar candle. The band may be clear, thereby revealing the color of the candle or container beneath it, or made in a variety of chosen colors, which are enhanced and appear to glow when the candle is illuminated.
