  1. Diamond Candles

    Roxboro, NC

    Diamond Candles was inspired from a love story. David, their founder, had just bought an engagement ring with the intention of proposing to his now-wife Brenda. Without anything to put the ring in, he bought a candle knowing how much she loved them. With the ring in one hand and the candle in the other, the idea for Diamond Candles was born. Inspired by David and Brenda’s story, Diamond Candles is dedicated to creating products that transform something ordinary into an experience that creates memorable “Diamond Moments.” From discovering a beautiful ring in a Ring Candle to exploring new fragrances, their products are designed to create Diamond Moments worth sharing with friends and family.
