Know before you buy
Each candle is housed in a genuine, sustainably sourced oyster shell that has been cleaned and finished with a gilded edge.
Grit & Grace Studio recycles oyster shells back into Charleston waters to help rebuild local oyster reefs, which are vital for filtering water and providing habitats for marine life.
Yes, the shell is designed to be repurposed. Once the soy wax is finished, you can gently clean out any remaining residue and use the gilded shell as a decorative trinket dish or ring holder.
Due to the shallow nature of the oyster shell, these are intended more as decorative accents and short-burn pieces rather than long-burning jar candles.
The scents are designed to be light and pleasant, suitable for smaller spaces like bedside tables or vanity areas without being overpowering.
