Our story

Lumea Eterna means lasting light. We make candles for tables that are sat at, for evenings that are not in a hurry — not photographed and left. If a flame can be both useful and beautiful, that is enough.

Cappings are the wax lids bees build over ripe honey. Beekeepers lift them once a year. What remains is the finest beeswax there is — pale, clean, already filtered by the hive. That is the only wax we use: cappings, the purest, premium wax. Nothing lesser enters the studio.

In the studio the wax is melted gently, never scorched. Then it is poured, dripped and dipped — slowly, by hand, with care and patience. Each candle is artisanal, each one is unique. Colour is not added; it is the colour of the season’s honey, fragrance is not added either. The light honey scent is already in the wax, and we leave it there.

We work only with small local apiaries. Not only to know the wax is true — but so that a neighbour’s hives stay in work, and the meadows around them stay in flower. We care for this place. We would like more bees, here, and everywhere around.
