A candle topper is a decorative accessory that sits on the rim of your jar candle providing both draft prevention and enhancing fragrance distribution. They can also be used as a way to protect the glass from damage. This particular topper has a lovely silver colour and is designed to fit large jar candles.
The best jar candle toppers will allow your wick to pierce through the topper without it causing issues such as sooting or mushrooming (carbon build-up). When purchasing a capper make sure it is made of non-toxic glass which will not break easily and has no rough edges that could catch on things.
Before you buy your jar candle topper take the time to measure the internal diameter of the jar where it will be placed. This will help you match up a suitable wick using our wick tables below. It is important to get this right as this will ensure your candle has an ideal melt pool and avoid wax tunneling.
It is also a good idea to remove any lid or topper that was originally on the jar before lighting it. This will prevent jars from cracking or shattering as they heat up during the burn cycle and will allow you to see the flame dance around the glass of the candle more clearly.
