I have mentioned several times in the past how I love scents. I am a huge fan of candles, air fresheners, plug-ins… anything that will make my home smell fresh, clean and inviting. With five cats, a dog and two teenagers having a clean smelling home is a must. Don’t get me wrong – I DO clean. As much as I hate cleaning I do clean and I’m very nit-picky about how I clean too – I scrub and dust everything.
I love scents. Scents can really affect your mood. I like to mix things up almost daily by using a different scent around my home.
I LOVE using holiday and seasonal scents. In the fall I like scents that remind me of the harvest (apples, pumpkin…) and around Christmas I love the scent of a freshly cut tree and spices.
Candles are a great way to add scent to any room.
Over the years I have purchased a lot of candles – some of which were a total waste of money because the scent was only on the unlit candle. Other candles have filled the room with fragrance – even carrying over to other rooms. Those are the candles that I love to use.
I recently had the opportunity to try out a candle from Diamond Candles. They get their name because of the treasures you’ll find inside – a diamond ring!
Diamond Candles are made out of 100% soy which means the burn cleaner than traditional wax. They are made with locally grown soy beans from the U.S.
Inside you’ll find a ring valued at either $10, $100, $1,000 or $5,000. Sadly you don’t get a choice of the ring size but that was OK with me. I figured whatever ring I found inside my candle I would give to my teenage daughter (unless it was a $1,000 or $5,000 ring – then it would be mine and I’d get it resized). The ring is a RINGREVEAL™ ring.
I received one of the candles to review. I received a candle scented like a cupcake. It really did smell like a cupcake! You could really smell the vanilla. In fact when my kids got home from school one day they thought I was baking something. What they were smelling was the candle I had lit on the kitchen counter.
I can even smell the candle in the next room! Any candle that I can smell in more than one room is a candle I want to use all the time. That is the sign of a great candle.
I couldn’t wait to find the ring. I burned the candle a lot for a few days until I finally saw a piece of aluminum foil peaking out from until the soy wax. It was the ring!
I used a pair of chopsticks to pill it out of the wax. I couldn’t wait another day to see what the ring looked like.
The ring was wrapped in baggie surrounded by foil to protect it.
This is the ring that was inside. Please excuse the photo (it was taken with my cellphone). The ring is nicer in person.
My daughter loves the ring and has been wearing it just about every day. I’m not sure of the size but I would think a 7 or 8. My daughter wears it on her middle finger.
Diamond Candles are also available without rings inside. They are referred to as Classic Candles. You can even purchase bundles which include one ring candle and one classic candle.
Diamond Candles are available in a nice variety of scents including;
- Watermelon Wedge
- Pomegranate Lemonade
- Strawberry Bliss
- Island Getaway
- Peachy Mango
All of these scents would be ideal for the summer months.
New scents are always being added too. Coming this summer are Berry Cooler, Paradise Punch and Lychee Fruit Burst.
They also have food scents and special candles for special occasions.
The classic candles are 12 ounces and sell for $19.95 and the candles with the rings are a generous 24 ounce size and sell for $24.95.
These would make a great gift – especially a hostess gift. The summer time scents would be great to burn at your next backyard barbecue or family gathering.
