Product Overview
Determining the Correct Size
Both our beeswax and resin collection are available in a variety of sizes and styles. This can get a little confusing if you are unfamiliar with trade terms so this page will give you a brief overview.
First lets address socket sizes. 'Candelabra' and 'medium base' are the socket sizes that are found on most lighting fixtures designed for the US markets. Our larger diameter candles will fit over either of these sockets unless otherwise noted. Our smaller sized candle covers are designed to fit specifically over these sockets so it is important to choose the correct size. Here is how to decide:
The smaller sized 'candelabra' have a socket size of 3/4". This is the most commonly used socket on chandeliers and sconces. The larger sized 'medium base' has a socket size of approximately 1 1/4". In the lighting trade 'medium base' may also be known as 'Edison' or 'standard'. If you need help in determining the correct socket size or candle height we have prepared a printable document for advice on taking the correct measurements.

Our Beeswax Collection
All of our beeswax candles are hand dipped on location in the U.S. and drips are then added by hand. None of our finished beeswax candles are the product of a mold so no two will look exactly alike. These are truly one of a kind. Our beeswax collection is available in a variety of sizes and styles, including custom sizes. The smaller candelabra and medium base are the most common sizes. However, you may decide that you would prefer a larger size to provide a more substantial look. For this reason we offer beeswax candles up to 4" diameter and up to 10" tall.
Candelabra and medium base are shown in the picture. To view information on our larger diameter beeswax candles scroll further down the page, or to view our complete beeswax collection, including pricing, just click here.
Please note that our beeswax candle covers are limited to 25 watt maximum unless otherwise noted. If you need to use a higher wattage we recommend that you select a candle from our extensive resin collection.
Our Resin Collection
For our customers who need to use higher wattage bulbs we carry a durable yet extremely realistic resin line. Depending on the application many of these candles can safely withstand up to 60 watts.
In our business we have noticed that most resin candle covers have a shiny plastic appearance that doesn't even look close to a real candle. As a result we spent time searching the market for the most realistic looking products and we believe we have found them! With realism in mind we have also developed our own exclusive line of resin candles. We think you will agree that these candles have the most authentic simulated wax look that you can find. In addition to offering resin candles with drips, we also offer a variety of smooth resin candles with no drips.

Large Diameter Candles
When your sconce or chandelier demands a more substantial candle you may choose from our larger diameter collection. We offer larger diameters in both beeswax and resin. These larger candles will fit over any socket size unless otherwise noted.
Large Diameter Beeswax
Our large diameter beeswax candles are available in a variety of sizes and styles. Our hollow candle (shown on the left) is available with diameters up to 3 3/4" with a flat or melting top effect. To really make a statement we also offer a solid pillar candle. Rather than being entirely hollow, these candles are made of solid wax with a hole through the center to accommodate the electrical socket.

Large Diameter Resin
Our large diameter resin candles are designed for durability. We offer these in a variety of diameters ranging from 1 3/4" up to 4", and heights up to 10" tall. Shown on the left is our own exclusive design which we produced because of high demand for a resin version of our beeswax candles. We also offer a no drip candle for those who prefer a clean, smooth look. To see our extensive variety just click here to browse our resin collection.
Translucent Candles
Our translucent candles (also known as candle shells) are designed for the bulb to be placed inside the candle to produce a beautiful ambiance. You may also place a battery operated tea-light or votive inside for a glowing flame-less candle. We offer them in both real beeswax and resin.
Translucent Beeswax Shell
Our translucent beeswax shell is made with a transparent acrylic core for strength and then covered in beeswax and beeswax drips. The result is the light glowing through the wax as shown in the picture. Similar candles from other sources are usually the product of a mold. The acrylic core in our candle is designed to add strength and the hand dipping ensures that no two will look exactly alike. Each one is genuinely one of a kind. To view this collection click here.
Translucent Resin Shell
For our customers who want the translucent look but prefer the durability of resin, we offer a line of translucent resin candle shells. These candles are available with drips as shown in the picture, or without drips for a clean smooth look. We have designed our resin line to have the most realistic look possible. To produce the candle in the picture we made a mold of our beeswax candle and here it is available in durable, yet extremely realistic resin. Click here to view our collection.
Battery Operated Candles
Our battery operated candles look like real candles because they are! These candles glow and flicker like a real candle and they even include a blackened wick so that they also look authentic when not lit. Since these candles are battery operated they will never melt and are completely safe around pets and children.
We offer a number of varieties, including our unique drip pattern which gives the candle an old world, antique look. To achieve this we dip the candle in beeswax and hand apply our drip effect. Our candles are available with a simple on/off switch or with an advanced timer. The automatic timer feature turns the candle on daily at the same time and automatically shuts it off 5 hours later.
