The pearl-bearing clam has been a symbol of hidden beauty and transformation since antiquity. In Greek mythology, Aphrodite — goddess of love and beauty — rose from the sea on a shell, in the very form Botticelli immortalized five centuries later in The Birth of Venus. In Chinese myth, pearls were the tears of dragons and the breath of the moon. The clam, by any account, is not ordinary. It holds something extraordinary within.
This Clam with Pearl Candle renders that image in hand-poured soy wax — a coastal sculpture cast with an open shell and a pearl nestled inside. Made at our Orlando studio from 100% natural soy wax, it works as a single statement piece or as part of a wider sea-themed collection alongside the Conch Shell and Mermaid Shell candles.
Available scents: Citrus · Floral · Fruity · Musk — all phthalate-free. Choose your fragrance at checkout.

FAQs — Clam with Pearl Candle
What scents does the Clam with Pearl Candle come in?
Four options: Citrus, Floral, Fruity, and Musk. All fragrances are crafted from phthalate-free oils. Select your scent at checkout.
How is the Clam with Pearl Candle made?
Hand-poured at our Orlando, Florida studio from 100% natural soy wax with a lead-free cotton wick. Each piece is individually cast and hand-finished — no two are exactly alike.
Can I order this as a gift?
Yes — every Votive Candle ships in gift-ready packaging. The Clam with Pearl pairs naturally with our Conch Shell Candle and Mermaid Shell Candle as a curated coastal gift set.
Does the pearl stay in the candle as it burns?
The pearl detail is part of the sculptural form — cast in soy wax, it burns along with the rest of the candle as the piece is lit. The full form is most dramatic before burning, and the candle makes an equally beautiful display piece kept unlit.
Is the Clam with Pearl Candle made from natural wax?
Yes. 100% natural soy wax, lead-free cotton wick, and phthalate-free fragrance oils. No paraffin, no synthetic wax blends — clean-burning soy wax, handmade in Orlando.
What other coastal candles does Votive Candle Co. offer?
The Clam with Pearl sits alongside our Conch Shell Candle and Mermaid Shell Candle in the coastal collection. Together they form a cohesive sea-inspired display — ideal for a bathroom, shelf, or beach-themed home accent grouping.
