#WomenOwnedWednesday ft. Sierra Jones and @shoplmn #WomenOwnedWednesday ft. Sierra Jones and @shoplmnry 🕯️ 
 
When Sierra Jones began LMNRY (pronounced LUMINARY) in 2023, she was bringing her candle making experiences right to her customers. From houses to Airbnbs to restaurant pop-ups, Jones shuffled her equipment and materials wherever she could, hoping to start buzz about her candle studio. 
During @npt_winterfest in 2024, she hosted a pop up at Spring Street’s since closed Little Lady Baby consignment store, an event that changed everything. 

“It went crazy,” says Jones. “I had a line of people down the street waiting to make candles.” 
That June, LMNRY opened a brick-and-mortar shop on Thames Street to host workshops and sell its own candle collection, just a town away from where she grew up in Middletown. The store closed its doors in September of 2025, and Jones has since returned to her roots of a travelling operation. 

LMNRY, recipient of Newport Life’s 2025 “Best Women-Owned Business” award, continues to sell its collection online and accepts requests for private events. Jones, a self-described entrepreneur, has recently taken a new direction with her workshops by offering fragrance-making experiences. 
“I’ve been [candle making] for about 3 years, but the perfume making I started just a few months ago,” she says. Jones credits LMNRY’s booth at @newportwedding for helping her realize how much demand there would be for fragrance workshops. 

On May 8th, Jones will celebrate another milestone as the Artist in Residence at Watch Hill’s historic Ocean House. The evening will feature her own candle creations followed by a candle workshop the next morning and a perfume making workshop that afternoon. 
“I never thought that something as simple as candles could go so far,” she says. “I love the feeling of bringing people together to make candles or form their own fragrances.” 

Find Sierra Jones and LMNRY at shoplmnry.com to reserve a workshop experience or buy from her candle collection.
