My story began like most small business owners, with a love for creating things and the enthusiasm for providing something a little different to my community, family and friends. In 2021, when I made the decision to start my small business, I made the decision to create a product that stood out from other candles. I was going to put a spin on candle making. By partnering my love for candles and two other unique things; 1) a love for all things sweet and savory and 2) coffee, because... well, coffee is just a glorious enjoyment. This is how Jewels Makes Scents was conceived.

There is something uniquely imperfect about Rae Dunn coffee mugs. So this is where I started. This was a perfect fit to my "why". The corky sayings are just a bonus. My passion for all things culinary (sweet and savory) applied to the act of creating candles. This quickly transformed into creating unique, imperfect phenomenal scented candles.

As I am sure you are aware, best laid plans. This allowed me the option of giving my customers something a bit more personal. By offering a "custom" candle option. This allows the customer to tailor their order to their precise wants and needs, all the way down to the vessel.

My "WHY"? That is easy. To be able to provide my customers, family and friends the opportunity to connect to their most favorable, heartfelt memories. That by simply smelling a candle scent can take them right down memory lane and bring them such joy and a sense of inner peace. Not to mention, setting the stage for a relaxing obeisance. Giving a sense of calm, in the midst of life's chaotic moments. Most important, to be blessed to witness the expression on their faces when they first smell a custom candle. To see their vision come to life, right in front of me. This is what Jewels Makes Scents is all about.
