Our Story
Inspired by Cyprus. Crafted with intention.
The name Tzymma comes from the Cypriot dialect
κύμμα - τζύμμα and it means wave.
For us, it’s more than a word. It reflects the calm rhythm of the sea, the slow flow of life, and the connection we feel to our island and its nature. This balance between energy and serenity is what inspires
everything we create.
Tzymma was born from our love for Cyprus — its earthy textures, rocky shores, and warm simplicity. Every piece we make, from the handcrafted candle vessels to our carefully tested fragrances, carries a sense of this place we call home.
Each candle is made by hand, from the wax to the vessel itself, using high-quality materials and a process built on patience and detail.
Our signature jars come in two timeless tones — soft off-white and stone black — each with a texture reminiscent of coastal rocks. They are designed to last long after the candle burns out, to be reused as a decorative piece, a small planter, or a simple home accessory.
We believe true beauty lies in calmness and simplicity.
Tzymma stands for mindful living — surrounding yourself with things that feel honest, intentional, and crafted with care.
Our vision is to continue creating premium handmade candles and home décor, expanding beyond Cyprus and sharing our story with homes around the world.
“Beauty of style and harmony and grace and good rhythm depend on simplicity.” — Plato
The Technical Art of Hand-Crafted Cement Vessels
Each Tzymma vessel is produced through a multi-stage, fully manual process. The raw cement form is cast, cured, and precision-sanded before entering hand-painting and sealing phases. Every piece is coated and finished individually to ensure structural integrity, consistent texture, and optimal heat resistance. This controlled, step-by-step method guarantees that every vessel meets our quality standards before it reaches your home.
