Inspiration & Social Impact
In 1932, a golden rhino artifact was discovered in the ancient Kingdom of Mapungubwe, Africa. The Black Gold collection honors Africa’s natural wealth and the royalty of its first kingdoms. It also pays homage to the endangered wildlife of the African continent. A rhino adorns the packaging as a tribute to the ancient African kingdoms.
Non-Profit Beneficiary

Gifting & Presentation
Beautifully boxed in Cape Island’s signature packaging, the Black Gold Votive is a small yet striking gift. Its compact size makes it ideal for thoughtful gifting, travel, guest spaces, or adding a touch of fragrance luxury to smaller corners of the home.
It is an easy, elegant option when you want something polished, gift ready, and indulgent without feeling overdone.
Use & Care
Place your candle on a heat resistant surface before lighting.
Trim the wick slightly before each burn to help maintain an even flame.
Allow the wax to melt to the edges during use for a more even burn.
Never leave a burning candle unattended, and keep away from children, pets, drafts, and flammable objects.
Our premium soy blend's high-fragrance load can naturally develop bronze sheens on glass—a signature of hand-poured South African artistry. Perfectly safe, no performance impact.
Once finished, the glass vessel can be rinsed and reused or recycled.

Black Gold reflects the more dramatic side of this story: rich, magnetic, and full of depth, designed for those drawn to bold fragrance and refined atmosphere.
