The First Burn is Crucial

The first time you light your candle sets the pattern for how it will burn throughout its life. For optimal results:

• Allow the wax to melt completely across the entire surface, reaching the edges of the container
• This typically takes 2-3 hours depending on the size of your candle
• Failure to do this can cause "tunneling" where the candle burns down the middle only

Trim the Wick

Always trim your wick to 1/4 inch before each burn. This helps prevent:

• Excessive smoke and soot
• Uneven burning
• Flickering or too-large flames
• Carbon buildup that can fall into the wax

Use scissors or a specialized wick trimmer for best results.

Optimal Burn Time

For the best experience with your jewellery candle:

• Burn for 1-3 hours at a time
• Never burn for more than 4 hours continuously
• Allow the candle to cool completely before relighting
• Stop burning when 1/2 inch of wax remains at the bottom

This ensures even burning and helps protect the jewellery inside.

Retrieving Your jewellery

When you spot your jewellery appearing in the melted wax:

• Extinguish the flame and allow wax to cool slightly (but not completely harden)
• Use a clean utensil to carefully remove the wrapped jewellery
• Gently wipe away excess wax with a soft paper towel
• For any remaining wax, soak in warm (not hot) water

Never use sharp objects that could damage your jewellery.
