Candles with Rings - Unrivaled Candles

A ring candle is a regular scented candle, but with a surprise ring hidden inside. As you burn through the candle, it gets lower and lower, eventually exposing the hidden ring. This is what makes ring candles a very cute gift idea for your loved ones.

Typically, the rings hidden inside ring candles are picked randomly. The values of these randomly picked rings usually range from $10 to $5,000. Given that ring candles themselves cost up to $30, you could get exceptional value for the money if you get very lucky. Not only that, but a $5,000 ring in a candle would make for an exceptional gift!

With that said, we would like to talk about this value range a little bit more in-depth so that you know how you should approach ring candles.

The way we view it, ring candles definitely aren’t the best option for big occasions. Candles with rings certainly aren’t suitable for a proposal, for example, even though a $5,000 ring would be a great ring to propose with.

But the thing is that you are very unlikely to get a $5,000 ring. The cheaper the ring, the more likely it is that it will end up in your ring candle. Even if you buy 100 ring candles, you most likely will get 100 $10-$15 rings and no expensive rings.

It may sound harsh, but ring candles essentially are a lottery. Unlike a lottery ticket, a ring candle actually delivers value because you will get a ring no matter what, and you will be able to use the candle for its purpose. But it’s still a lottery, and like in a lottery, you are much more likely, so to say, to lose than to win.

Sellers of ring candles need to make a profit, and they will include as many of $5,000 rings as it is reasonable for them in the business sense. Sellers need to sell hundreds of cheaper rings to bring back the investment that they’ve made into a few more expensive rings. And needless to say, there are going to be many more cheap rings than expensive rings included in the candles.

And since you are unlikely to get an expensive ring, we suggest that you buy a candle ring for occasions where a cheaper ring is going to be appropriate. We can’t really give you recommendations here since what is appropriate depends on the situation and who you want to gift the ring to.

Hopefully, we were able to give you a clear idea of what you should be expecting from ring candles. They are undeniably cute gifts, but if the included candles with rings is what you want to gift, then make sure that it’s going to be appropriate.

To be fair, we don’t think that the ring value is important since what kind of a ring you will get comes down to luck. But it may be important to you, and if so, don’t ignore it.

Sellers will give ring value estimates in a range, e.g. $10 – $5,000 or $15-$7,500. As mentioned above, you are much more likely to get a $10 ring than a $5,000 one.

With this in mind, we suggest that you pay attention to the lower end of the range more. It might be best to go for a ring candle that offers the highest lower-end value since the difference between a $10 and $15 ring may be quite big.
