As a true wine enthusiast, her passion for wine was the start of her journey. As she and her husband, Dean, enjoyed various wines, they admired the beauty of the bottles: the colored and clear glass and the artfully created labels. They often thought of how they could be repurposed to enjoy indefinitely. One day, while lighting a candle, it came to her: let’s make candles out of the bottles! Her husband Dean, an Italian full of zest and life, said “Fiamma!” which is flame in Italian, and her company was born! 

After some trial and error, they were able to fine-tune the sanding and polishing process and started to test wax and wicks. They finally found the perfect combo of soy wax and wooden wicks. These provide a clean burn, a charming soft crackling ambiance, and are eco-friendly. They are non-toxic and burn completely with no carbon soot buildup. Each candle is hand-poured and thoughtfully scented to be a delightful sensory experience. 

Though many of her candles are up-cycled wine bottles, the unique flame shape and clean burn put her candles into high demand. They decided to expand the product line to include various vessels, thereby giving her customers more options.

In keeping with Fiamma’s commitment to be good environmental stewards, all materials come from sustainable sources. The wicks are sourced and manufactured in the U.S.A. and come from an FSC Certified mill. All of her vessels are recyclable; though they are so beautiful, she encourages customers to re-purpose them. They make great vases, pencil holders, and work perfectly for make-up brushes. The glass vessels are so highly polished they can even be used for drinking, after they are thoroughly cleaned, of course!
