I'm 15, and I make luxury candles out of cement.
The Monument is a hand-poured candle in a solid cement hourglass, made for people working toward something.

"Oh my God. It's gorgeous."
"It's literally cement. It's seriously cool."
"$60? Six zero. I like it."
Real reactions from the first time people held one.
Yes, it's really cement.
It isn't 3D printed or ceramic. Every Monument is cast by hand in a custom mold, one at a time. You notice the weight as soon as you pick it up, and no two come out exactly alike.
Buy the vessel once.
Each candle burns for over 90 hours. When the wax is gone, you don't throw anything away. Drop in a $20 refill and The Monument is new again. The cement stays on your desk for years.
Time is only temporary.
At 14, I wrote a book about the principles that changed my life. There's an hourglass on the cover, and that's the shape of this candle. It's meant to sit on your desk as a reminder to do the best you can with what you have.
