Candlelight has the enchanting power to transform any space into a haven of warmth and tranquility. But have you ever wondered about the meticulous craftsmanship and passion that go into creating these sources of light and ambiance? Join us on a captivating journey as we unveil the artistry behind candle making – a timeless craft that combines science, creativity, and skill to produce not just candles, but moments of pure magic.


The Magic in Every Pour


Step into our LUMIRIAM workshop, where the process begins with passion and a commitment to quality. Each candle is lovingly hand-poured, ensuring that every detail is given the utmost attention. The process embodies the perfect marriage of science and art, requiring an in-depth understanding of materials, temperatures, and techniques.

  1. Material Selection The foundation of any exceptional candle is the choice of materials. High-quality, ethically sourced wax is meticulously chosen to ensure a clean, even burn that radiates fragrance throughout the candle's life. We have crafted a blend of waxes that allow for a wonderful burn and releases the perfect fragrance.

  2. Fragrance is a signature aspect of our candles that transport you to serene landscapes or evoke cherished memories. Crafting the perfect fragrance requires a delicate blend of essential oils and aromatic compounds. These components are expertly mixed to achieve a harmonious scent profile that captures the essence of the chosen theme.

  3. In the creation of our LUMIRIAM glass vessels, our pursuit revolved around a synthesis of simplicity and elegance that seamlessly harmonizes with any environment. Our clientele spans a diverse spectrum, ranging from young college students seeking to invigorate their spaces with refined aromas to bustling executives inhabiting exquisite homes adorned with invaluable artworks. Recognizing the imperative of infusing our design with simplicity and sophistication, we meticulously developed a distinctive vessel. Available in both black and white variants, adorned with gilded gold foil lettering, this vessel encapsulates our vision.

  4. Wicking Wisdom Selecting the right wick may seem like a simple task, but it's a crucial element in ensuring an even burn. The diameter and composition of the wick are carefully chosen based on the candle's size and wax type. This ensures that the flame burns steadily, without flickering excessively or producing soot.

  5. Hand-Poured Precision With the materials prepared, the heart of the process begins – the hand-pouring. Each vessel is meticulously prepped, and the wax is poured at the optimal temperature to guarantee an even distribution of fragrance.. The slow and steady pouring process is a dance of skill and patience, resulting in candles that radiate both beauty and functionality.

  6. Cooling and Curing After the pouring is complete, the candles embark on a cooling and curing journey. This period allows the wax to set completely, ensuring that the fragrance is fully infused and the candle's structure remains intact. The candles are protected from disturbances during this stage, allowing them to emerge in their final, pristine form.

Conclusion

The art of candle making is a labor of love that combines scientific precision with creative expression. Our hand-poured process weaves together the finest materials, expert techniques, and a passion for creating moments of tranquility and beauty. As you light one of our candles and bask in its gentle glow, remember that behind the scenes, countless hours of dedication and craftsmanship have culminated in this embodiment of pure enchantment.
