Candle Questions
​
How long should I burn my candle the first time?
Let it burn until the melted wax reaches the edge of the jar—usually 2–3 hours. This helps avoid "tunneling" and keeps your candle burning evenly every time.
​
How do I trim the wick, and why does it matter?
Trim the wick to about ¼ inch before each burn. A short wick keeps the flame steady, prevents soot, and helps your candle last longer. Don’t skip it—it’s a game-changer!
​
How long can I safely burn my candle?
We recommend burning for no more than 4 hours at a time. Always let the wax cool and reset before relighting.
​
Why is my candle smoking or flickering?
This can happen if the wick is too long or if there’s a draft nearby. Blow it out, trim the wick, and relight in a calm spot.
​
Are your candles safe for pets and kids?
Our candles are made with high-quality ingredients. But like any open flame, they should always be burned out of reach of pets and children.
​
Can I reuse the jar after the candle is finished?
Yes, please do! Our jars are too pretty to toss. Just remove any leftover wax, clean with warm soapy water, and repurpose for makeup brushes, snacks, or even plants!

Trays Questions​
​
What are your trays made of?
Our trays are handcrafted using high-quality materials like Jesmonite, eco-resin, or concrete—chosen for their beauty, strength, and modern aesthetic. Each one is poured, sanded, and sealed by hand with love.
​
Are the trays food safe?
Our trays are intended for decorative use only—not certified food safe. Use them for candles, jewelry, coffee stations, skincare, keys, and more—but not for serving food.
​
Can I use these trays in the bathroom or kitchen?
Yes! Our trays are sealed to be water-resistant, making them perfect for bathrooms, kitchens, and vanities. Just don’t fully submerge them or use them in soaking-wet conditions.
​
Will my tray look exactly like the photo?
Not quite—and that’s the charm! Each tray is uniquely hand-poured, so the patterns, swirls, and color placement will vary. No two are ever the same!
​
How do I clean my tray?
Easy! Just wipe gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh cleaners or scrubbing tools to protect the finish and sealant.
​
Can I place hot items on the tray?
Trays can handle warm items like mugs or candles in jars, but avoid direct heat (like hot pans or open flames) to prevent damage.
​
Can the tray break or chip?
While our trays are durable, they are still handmade and can chip or crack if dropped on hard surfaces. Treat them with care and they’ll last a long time!
​
Do you offer sets or bundles?
We sure do! Check out our gift bundles and curated sets—perfect for gifting or creating your dream shelfie moment.
​
Glassware Questions​
​
Are they dishwasher and microwave safe?
We recommend hand washing only to preserve the clarity, color, and handmade finish. These cups are not microwave safe, especially if they contain decorative elements like gold rims or colored glass.
​
Can I pour hot liquids in them?
Yes—but with care! Our glass cups are suitable for warm drinks like tea or coffee, but they are not made for boiling liquids. Avoid extreme temperature changes (like pouring boiling water into a cold cup) to prevent cracking.
​
Are the cups fragile?
They’re delicate, but not flimsy! These are durable enough for regular use, but like any handmade glassware, they should be handled gently—no hard drops or stacking.
​
Why does my cup look a little different from the photo?
Because it’s handmade magic! Each cup may have slight variations in color, texture, or shape. Tiny air bubbles or irregularities are part of the charm and proof of its artisan origin.
​
Can I order a custom design or set?
Yes! Whether you're dreaming of a custom color, size, or engraved message, we're happy to work with you. Send us your ideas via email at reachclrtheorry@gmail.com and we’ll bring them to life.
​
Do you sell matching sets or bundles?
We do! Some of our cups are available as matching pairs or as part of curated gift bundles with trays or candles. Perfect for gifting or elevating your shelfie game.
