classy unity candle?

Does anyone have a lead on nice, classy looking, unity candles? I see a lot out there (esp on etsy), but many are sort of cheesy looking. I'd like something where the text/decoration is part of the candle (not a decal, not a ribbon) and is understated. It should look like a wedding candle without necessarily having enormous bells on it, etc. Bonus points if the decoration goes all the way around the candle instead of being on just one side, or if the candle has some shape rather than just straight up-and-down. It doesn't need to be personalized/personalizable.

I would include a picture, but I honestly haven't been able to find anything even close to what I'm imagining.

I'm getting the sense that unity candles are a bit passe, but: it holds a lot of significance for my side of the family. My parents' unity candle made an appearance at all of our special occasions as a family - birthdays, christmas, etc. Though it started out nearly a foot tall it's now only 3 inches! I know a lot of people do sand or glass, but it just wouldn't have the same meaning for me.

Has anyone seen anything like this? If you're doing a unity candle, what are you using for the candle?

I hate the holders, but the candle is pretty, they have a bunch of options at my local Michael's and Moore's craft stores. http://www.michaels.com/celebrate-it-occasions-unity-candle-set-pearl-white/10213472.html

I love that one! It's too bad the candle itself is out of stock.

I kind of like Target's the candle is plain, and the holder is simple yet pretty. https://www.target.com/p/3pc-wedding-unity-vintage-pearl-candle-set-hortense-b-hewitt-174/-/A-15127277
