LuvitHavit | Handmade in Clarens Free-State, South Africa. When similar-sized candles burn out, they create a shell of wax that normally gets discarded. That is the part I have made reusable. By choosing to make long-lasting, reusable wax shells in white non-fragranced, fully recyclable wax [as opposed to solid candles] almost 60% less wax than conventional candles of the same size is used in the process The Wax Luminaries aren't candles as such, but rather Wax Candle Holders. They hold fully consumable tea light candles or small votive candles
