EstelleStudioCA Clam Shell Soy Wax Candle

Jesmonite is a composite material that feels similar to stone or ceramic but is lighter and more durable. It has a smooth, matte finish that gives the clam shell a substantial, high-end feel, making it a solid decorative piece long after the candle is finished.

Because the vessel is heat-resistant and durable, it works perfectly as a small planter for succulents, a catch-all tray for jewelry, or a desk organizer for paperclips and stationery. Simply clean out any remaining wax residue with warm, soapy water before repurposing.

Yes, this candle uses a sustainable soy wax blend and non-toxic ingredients, making it a cleaner-burning option than traditional paraffin wax. It is vegan and free from common harmful additives, though we always recommend burning candles in a well-ventilated room.

You can expect over 20 hours of burn time. To get the most out of your candle, ensure you trim the cotton wick to about 1/4 inch before each burn and allow the wax pool to reach the edges of the vessel during the first use to prevent tunneling.

The unique shape means the wax pool will form differently than in a standard circular jar. It is important to keep an eye on the candle during its first few burns to ensure the wax melts evenly across the shell's surface.
