Our founder, Andrew Edmond, comes from a long line of candle makers... The first known candle makers in our family started in New York through the 1930's-1950's with Diamond Candle, which was one of the largest candle manufacturers in the US. Andrew's grandfather, Jerome Edmond, moved to Los Angeles in the 1950's and eventually built a west coast candle empire, which is to this day one of the major candle manufacturers in the world. Andrew, a fifth generation Candle Maker, is proud to run CandleHelp.com and NWCandleMaking.com which extends yet another generation, and this time, into the new world of the Internet. Imagine what the employees of Diamond Candle would have said about all this!
