Description

The shankh form flattened into a tray, so it can hold small items — a ring, a key, a wick trimmer — once the wax has gone. Bought as a return gift far more often than the upright conch.

Burning it well

  • First burn: 2–3 hours, until the melt pool reaches the edge. This prevents tunnelling for the life of the candle.
  • Trim the wick to 5 mm before every burn.
  • Burn no more than 4 hours at a stretch, on a heat-resistant level surface.
  • Never leave a burning candle unattended, or within reach of children and pets.

Care & safety
  • First burn. Burn 2–3 hours, until the melt pool reaches the edge. This prevents tunnelling for the life of the candle.
  • Trim the wick to 5 mm before every burn. An untrimmed wick soots and burns hot.
  • Best scent throw. Burn in a closed room of up to 200 sq ft; give it 30 minutes to fill the space.
  • Never leave a burning candle unattended, and keep away from children, pets and anything flammable.
  • Burn on a heat-resistant, level surface. Stop when about 10 mm of wax remains.
  • Do not burn for more than 4 hours at a stretch.
Product information
Burn & care

Trim the wick to 5 mm before every burn. This is the single thing that most affects how your candle performs — an untrimmed wick smokes, mushrooms and burns through wax far faster.

First burn: let it run 2–3 hours until the melt pool reaches the edge. Soy wax has a memory; if the first burn tunnels, every burn after it will tunnel.

In Indian summers: keep candles out of direct sunlight and away from a hot windowsill. Soy softens above roughly 35°C. If a piece softens in transit it re-firms in a cool room within a couple of hours.

Never leave a burning candle unattended, and keep it away from curtains, children and pets.

Burn ritual

How to enjoy it

Three small habits for a cleaner burn and a scent that lasts to the last centimetre.

  1. 2 to 3 hours

    Step 1: Make the first burn count

    Let it burn until the melted wax reaches the edge. This stops tunnelling for every burn after.

  2. 5 mm

    Step 2: Trim the wick each time

    A short wick gives a steady flame, no smoke and a longer-lasting candle.

  3. Up to 4 hours

    Step 3: Burn, then rest

    Blow it out after 4 hours and let it cool fully before lighting again.

Nice coastal decor

A pretty product that adds nice coastal vibes. Good quality. Took a star off because it was slightly smaller than expected from the photos. Still lovely!

Average quality

The Conch Shell Tray looks okay but the material feels a bit cheap. Expected better quality. Good for decoration but won't last very long.
