Extra Bonus

We want you to get the utmost enjoyment from your new Real Candle Chandelier, so we pack every chandelier sold with a set of hand poured, 100% pure beeswax candles made by a small convent of Christian nuns living in the Pacific Northwest. Seriously!

They start with 100% pure beeswax which is completely organic and all natural. There is nothing in it that the little bees didn't put there themselves. Their friends at the apiary harvest the beeswax without harming the bees and then filter it carefully to ensure that the beautiful golden color and natural honey scent come through to you. Since the 100% pure beeswax naturally has a wonderful scent and color, there is no need to add potentially toxic fragrances and colors. It is clean burning, sweet smelling and richly colored, all naturally. It's no wonder that beeswax was chosen above any other candle material for use by royalty throughout the centuries.

What many people don't realize is that paraffin has only been used for candlemaking in relatively recent times, and is just a poor imitation of the real thing, much like tallow candles (made from animal fat) were in the past. Paraffin is a by-product of petroleum processing. It is made from the sludge at the bottom of a barrel of crude oil. It has to be cleaned and bleached with benzene, solvents, and other chemicals to prepare it for use in candles. Paraffin candles have a very unpleasant odor, which therefore needs to be disguised with the addition of scents. Also, much like petroleum, paraffin candles emit gases and soot when burned, as well as 11 documented toxins, of which two are carcinogenic. Paraffin and synthetic fragrance oils are a major cause of smokey film buildup and indoor air pollution.

Fortunately, by burning 100% pure beeswax candles, not only are these problems avoided, but beeswax actually cleans the air while burning! This is because burning beeswax creates negative ions, which then capture and neutralize dust, odors, molds, bacteria and other toxins. Many people, especially those who suffer from allergies, find that burning beeswax candles for 30 minutes or so before going to bed produces a more restful sleep. Beeswax candles are highly recommended for use in any area where food is prepared or served.

Monastics are the traditional candle makers from many centuries ago, and these candles reflect hundreds of years of devotion and skill. Every single one of the Sisters' candles is hand poured, every single one of their wicks is hand placed at the time of pouring, as an integral part of the candle. Every single Quiet Light Candle is made with care and patience.

We could never, in good conscience, provide you with less...
