Turquoise Candles
Something in the room is usually turquoise first — a glazed bowl, a strip of tiles, a cushion — and a candle that fights with that colour ends up back in the drawer. Every candle here carries turquoise. On some it shares the shape with a second colour, as on the LOVE candle in turquoise and yellow, or on the MARIE relief with its white edge.
Scent narrows it down after that. Vanilla and Euphoria turn up together on a lot of these shapes: Vanilla is the creamy, sweet one, Euphoria puts amber behind flowers and fruit. Sakura is cherry blossom, and it sits on the small pillar that stands 7 cm and is rated 9-12 hours. Sandalwood and Citronella are here as well.
The shapes go from pinecones and sculpted roses to spiral trees, tall pillars and whole sets, so the colour is only the start of the choosing. Královské Poříčí is where they come out of our own hands, start to finish. And if the turquoise you want is not in a shape you can see here, the candle configurator on the site lets you put one together yourself.
Which turquoise candle for which spot, and how long it burns
Height settles less than people expect. Two pinecones share a 9 cm height and the same 2.5 bottom - 5 middle cm, and both are rated 18-24 hours; Candle Small Pinecone – turquoise 2 weighs 0.06 Kg, while Small Pinecone Candle – Turquoise, Vanilla & Euphoria weighs 0.07 Kg. Relief Candle ROSE Turquoise also stands 9 cm, yet it spreads to 3.5 bottom + 7 middle cm, weighs 0.15 Kg and is rated 12-21 hours. Same height, three different evenings.
For a chest of drawers or a mantel, where a candle is looked at from across the room, Relief Candle MARIE Turquoise with White Edge runs 16 cm on a 4 cm diameter, weighs 0.27 Kg and is rated 28-39 hours. Tall Pillar Candle Euphoria is slimmer at 3.5 cm across, 12 cm high, 0.13 Kg, rated 18-24 hours, and slips in among glasses and plates without blocking anyone.
LOVE Candle Turquoise Yellow is another matter altogether: 40 cm tall, nothing else here reaches that height, 6 cm across, 1 Kg, rated 45-96 hours. Give it floor space or a broad sill, never a crowded table. When the burning is meant to be spread over many evenings, look at the sets instead — Advent Candle Collection FRIENDSHIP at 0.6 Kg, rated 77-100 hours, and Candle Collection Mystery at 1.7 Kg, rated 168-220 hours.
Whichever one goes home with you, cut the wick down before the match every time. Let the first burn run until the melted pool has reached the outer edge, because a flame stopped early keeps sinking into the middle on every evening afterwards. Then a base that is level and will not catch fire, no draught crossing the flame, and nobody leaving the room while it burns — a small shape at cat height is too easy to knock over.
