Hidden Treasure Candle Review

A couple of months ago I ventured further into the world of candles with jewelry in them. As you can see my review of 3-8-1 candles was full of praise and dare I say, worship. You will not see this in my review of hidden treasure candles.
I’d like to start by saying this is my opinion and my experience only. I’m reviewing my purchase and customer service experience only.

So this is the candle. Nothing exciting about the packaging. Reminiscent of Diamond Candles only with a paper like sticker.

On to the smell.
It’s a strongly scented candle. The throw is good. The scent is artificial. Not a bad smell just doesn’t have that I just smooshed up a big pile of blueberries.
I blew out the candle (afraid to put the plastic type metal lid on for fear of burn or melt). Holy smoky!!! The smoke from the wick was thick and the smell nauseated me. The stench from the wick lingers for quite some time.
Now for the “exciting” part, the moment I hold my breath and pull out my “treasure”…

My breath came out in one giant whoosh. The only thought in my head, sparkly balls.
925 is stamped on the clasp. I’m not sure this is solid 925 silver. The chain was stuck to itself when I removed it from the bag. I assume that is a quality control issue.
It may be “real” but is just plain ugly.
Drum roll please…
Customer service.
I will let the Facebook posts speak for themselves.

Needless to say I do not recommend this company. Purchase with awareness and caution.
