Quick-burn

Allow to self-extinguish in one sitting.

• Twin Flame, our signature-named candle originates from the medieval Italian Duplero candle. Used for ceremony to celebrate the beginnings and endings, the coming and going, the waning and waxing. Burns for approximately two hours.

• Chime, popularized by the German angel chime which employs the heat of the candlelight to rotate a small carousel used during the holidays. Chimes are used during short ceremony to symbolically hold an intention, prayer or wish until self-extinguished. Burns for approximately two hours.

• Tea Light, originates from Japanese tea ceremonies which employs the heat of the candlelight to keep the teapot warm and to mark the passing of time. Once the Tea Light self-extinguishes the tea ceremony is over. Tea Lights hold the moment for slow mornings or self-care evenings. Burns for approximately four hours.

Long-burn

Light and relight over multiple sittings.

• Dipped Taper, the eldest candle used worldwide. Originates from the African rushlight which used a stalk of grass as a wick then dipped this in animal fat. Tapers are favored for their ability to cast luminous nightlight. The brightest candle when used in number and held in tall candlesticks. Choose from two lengths. Smalls burn for approximately six hours. Talls burn for approximately nine hours.

• Mirth Pillar, our in-house custom design. We replicated this candle from an antique vessel. Used for coffee tables or mood-setting. Keep lit for a minimum of 4-hours each sitting. Burns for approximately forty hours.

• Glass Pillar, originates from the Mexican Prayer Candle which burns for several continuous days. Historically, the flame symbolically represented the living prayer until self-extinguished. The Glass Pillar is a companion candle for altar or desk. Keep lit for a minimum of 3-hours each sitting. Burns for approximately seventy-five hours.

Bloom

Sometimes a powdery coating appears on the exterior of beeswax. This occurs due to fluctuation in temperature. A bloomed candle is safe to burn, or this powdery coating can be removed using a soft dry cloth. 

Memory

The memory of a pillar candle is the indented wax pool. Minimum burn times allow an optimal expansion of the wax pool which minimizes leftover wax. For an optimal candlekeeping experience, keep the Mirth Pillar lit for a minimum of 4-hours each sitting. Keep the Glass Pillar lit for a minimum of 3-hours each sitting.

Hugging

Hugging works best while a Mirth Pillar is still warm. Slightly fold the exterior wall toward the center of the candle. This feeds more wax to the wick which minimizes leftover wax. For an optimal candlekeeping experience, hugging should occur immediately after each extinguish.

Wick Trimmers

Available as an add-on with the purchase of a Glass Pillar. Use these long thin scissors to trim the wick, dip the wick in the wax pool for a smoke-free extinguish, or reposition the wick upright. Use the bottom plate to catch and remove debris from within the candle.
