Keepsake Candles
Bartlesville, OK
|
Each KeepsakeŽ Candle is hand-made to our exacting specifications. The molds for our candles are taken from antique glassware dating from 1820 to around 1940. Specially formulated heat-resistant Oklahoma paraffin wax is poured into the mold and rotated by hand to form a wax shell. The shell is then filled with softer, richly scented wax. All in all the process takes nearly two days to complete. When the candle is lit, the scented inner wax burns slowly to the bottom releasing its aromatic fragrance. Light glows softly through the colored, patterned exterior, and the shell remains to be refilled and enjoyed over and over again.
We take pride in our candles and are confident that you will enjoy them as much as we do. Stock up for yourself...Click here for more details...
