Custom Charmed Beeswax Taper
A single taper adorned with symbols particularly for you or a loved one.
The taper candle is both a humble and transcendent object, tasked with bringing light and a sense of enchantment to a wide spectrum of human experiences: from dinner parties and quiet mornings, to births, weddings and funerals.
On these candles, bespoke imagery is hand cut and embossed from very thin copper and affixed to the beeswax with gentle heat. As the candle burns, the ephemeral wax will fall away from the copper, leaving behind the lasting metal charms.
The copper charms on the candles are inspired by the beauty and spiritual significance of metal votives and talismans across time, such as the folk art traditions of Greek tamata and Mexican milagros, as well as ancient Scythian and Minoan jewelry and funerary adornments.
Please request the imagery you'd like your candle to be charmed with in the notes section on the following page as you're checking out. If you'd prefer to send images rather than words, send them via email to [email protected].
These can be whatever your heart desires!
Truly! Just ask.
The charms in the images offer some examples.
Each taper is 11 1/2" tall and 7/8" thick at the base, made with 100% beeswax.
Please never burn these candles unattended. The copper, while not flammable, can impact the flame. The tapers are hand dipped, and the charms are hand cut, slight variations may occur because of this.
