That price is ridiculous, I agree. They are, at best, worth half that much. I would NEVER get those. Shop around girls ))

Many years ago when Luminara first came out, I bought a set from Khols and it was very affordable. Then a little while later, QVC had a TSV of a big set in Luminara and I bought two sets as gifts. I believe there was 8 candles to the set and it was around $99. Looking back, I wish I had bought myself a set. I agree with the other two posts that Martha Stewarts candles are pricey, but I ordered a set of 4" and a set of 6" in the Hexigan style in the Grey color. I really love the Luminara flameless candles and rarely buy real candles these days.

Luminara has teamed with Martha, they're her designs & colors but made by their company, not hers. As far as the price goes I doubt she has any input, that's between Luminara & the Q. Really like several of the designs but I prefer the old style faux black wicks, I have several by Candle Impressions that have been aged & look great with my primitive decor.

I bought her Luminara skull candle last Halloween and it's the usual excellent Luminara quality.

You just pay more because her name is on it, but the skull Luminara candle was so unique, I'd never seen one and I love it!

I have a LOT of Luminara candles. I've been lucky to find many at TJ Maxx, too.

Haven't purchased her candles, but she uses Luminara, so I'd expect them to be equal in quality. No guarantees about anything, though.

I've been burning one 7 inch Luminara 24 hours a day for about 4 years. It is still going strong.

Luminara's real 'wax' candles are beautifully made, high quality, flame very realistic and worth the price considering how much real candles cost and don't last very long. Highly recommend.

I own quite a few Luminara candles...they are ON each evening...great quality...lots of beautiful light.

These colors being shown are really gorgeous, IMO, but honestly, for my preferences, I just love the soft light of ivory ones!

I don’t understand about the questions about the wick color?

@LTT1

The poster who mentioned the black wicks was referring to Candle Impressions candles, not Luminara.

I ordered her pumpkin. It was very good quality. It was too big for what I wanted it for, so I ended up returning. Regretted that decision. I have no issue paying more for a good candle. I have many luminara and they all work. I also have many regular candle impressions. I've also had many of them did and/or discolor.

@gigy I ordered the seaglass Hexigan style in 6" it is a unique color that I can't find anywhere else.

While I do think they are overpriced, I do think they are beautiful and unique. I love that Martha is collaborating with Luminara to bring us neat designs. I am not big into Halloween, but the skull candle from last fall is so cool! And the gold turkey is beautiful! I ordered a few sets of the egg candles last month and they are so pretty. And they don’t scream “Easter egg” so they can be used all spring/summer, not just at Easter.

I like her square and hex candles. Am so hoping she’ll bring back the beehive ones. I sadly missed out and really regret it. Wish there was a way I could ask her!

I love her designs, but I wish she would use the 3d flame. JMO I think the 3d flame looks better when the candle is not on.
