WARNING: Do not drink or eat out of the concrete vessels. They are not food-grade items.

Teaching myself to transform raw cement and water into stunning concrete vessels was a journey of experimentation and intuition. What began with basic elements has evolved into a collection of functional art, where every piece is a testament to the beauty of the handmade process.

THE PROCESS

Quality cannot be rushed. Each Onya’e Naturals vessel follows a meticulous schedule:
Day 1: The initial pour and hand-casting.
The 3-Hour Mark: Careful demolding to reveal the raw form.
72 Hours Later: Sealing the vessel to ensure durability and finish.
Day 5: Hand-pouring the soy wax once the concrete has fully cured.
Beyond the ingredients, understanding the properties of the stone and harnessing its potential. Guided by artistic intuition and a commitment to pushing boundaries, I hand-infuse every piece with pigments and acrylic paint, by transforming industrial concrete into a living, elegant piece for your home.

Candle care
Please refrain from burning the candle for longer than 2 hours continuously. Discontinue use when only 1/2" of wax remains at the bottom. Additionally, ensure you always trim the wick before each use. It’s essential never to leave a burning candle unattended. Prior to leaving the room, make sure to extinguish the candle. To ensure safety, position candles out of the grasp of children and pets.

Concrete
To clean, please use a gentle wipe with a damp cloth for the inside only. Avoid submerging the item in water, as it's not dishwasher safe. For your assurance, I apply a non-toxic, water-based protective sealant to the inside of concrete jars, and top of trays. This ensures no seepage of wax or fragrance oil. Kindly note that the exterior of the candle-vessel is unsealed, which may make it more prone to staining. However, rest assured, this does not impact the overall quality and durability of the product.

Safety Reminders
Given the nature of cement/concrete, please avoid exposing the Concrete Vessel to direct sunlight for extended periods. If it is stored in cold temperatures and then quickly moved to a warm environment, natural cracks may occur. This is not a product to drink out of or eat out of. It’s not food-grade - only decor
