Our Story
Handcrafted in Los Angeles
Every piece begins at the artist's table
"Objects become meaningful when they carry a story."
Born from courage. Built with intention. Crafted by hand.
OVA is more than a candle brand — it is a story of identity, resilience, and beauty reimagined.
What began as a small studio in Los Angeles grew from a deeply personal journey: transforming loss into art, and turning stillness into something meaningful.
Our founder’s experience with alopecia shaped the foundation of OVA — a reminder that beauty is not something we “have,” but something we create. Something we choose to surround ourselves with. Something that lives in the details of our everyday moments.
Every piece we make begins the same way: with hands, patience, and intention. Each candle is:
• sculpted from scratch
• hand-poured in micro-batches
• hand-painted like a miniature art object
• released only in limited seasonal drops
OVA exists to make objects that feel personal — pieces you don’t just use, but keep, gift, and remember.
Art that becomes part of your home, your holidays, your story.
This is OVA: an intimate luxury rooted in authenticity.
"Beauty lives in the details we choose to create."
THE MAKING OF OVA
A glimpse into our studio — where every OVA piece begins with hands, patience, and a deep love for detail.
Our Commitments
What We Stand For
Every piece is made by hand in our Los Angeles studio — poured, sculpted, painted, and finished with meticulous detail.
We produce in small, carefully curated batches to preserve exclusivity and craftsmanship. Once a drop sells out, it’s gone.
We use clean-burning soy wax, premium non-toxic oils, and responsible packaging to ensure a safe experience for you and your home.
Each candle comes with an OVA authenticity certificate and a unique QR code, allowing you to verify your piece on our website.
Our candles are not just scents — they are collectible art objects meant to elevate your interior and holiday ritual aesthetic.
1. Sculpted
Each form is created by hand from the ground up — shaped, refined, and prepared individually before the pouring process begins.
2. Hand-Poured
We pour every layer of wax in our Los Angeles studio, allowing time, temperature, and precision to create the perfect foundation for each piece.
3. Hand-Painted
Every detail is finished by hand using brushes and sponges, giving each candle its unique character, shading, and artistic texture.
