Onyx, Alabaster or Marble? Which Statement Stone is For You?

Imagine the ancient world choosing its candles.

Someone in Rome probably asked: “Do you prefer marble? You strike me as a marble person.”
Someone in Egypt: “Onyx, obviously — look at you, glowing.”
Someone in Greece: “Alabaster — soft light, soft soul.”

Today’s world? We still gravitate toward the stones that feel like us.

Vesperre takes those timeless materials and turns them into modern heirloom candles — but the question remains:

Which stone is whispering your name? Let’s explore in a low-stakes personality quiz (with high-end outcomes!)

ONYX: The Bold Visionary

If onyx could speak, it would say, “Of course I’m dramatic — I was born this way.”

You’re an Onyx Person if:

  • You love a moody interior

  • You gravitate toward black clothing even in July

  • Your friends describe you as “magnetic” or “mystifying”

  • You prefer espresso over drip coffee

  • You appreciate luxury that doesn’t explain itself

Onyx has depth, striations, and unpredictable beauty. In candle form, it becomes a quiet power move — the kind of piece guests touch and ask, “Where did you get this?”

MARBLE: The Chic Minimalist

Marble never tries too hard. It doesn’t need to.
It’s cool, polished, and timeless.

You’re a Marble Person if:

  • You love bright kitchens and clean lines

  • You consider “quiet luxury” a personality trait

  • You love quality but avoid anything flashy

  • You have opinions about countertops (and they’re correct)

Marble says: I know what I like. And I like this.

ALABASTER: The Soft Romantic

Alabaster is candlelight personified. Creamy, luminous, gentle.

You’re an Alabaster Person if:

  • You like mornings slow and evenings cozy

  • You prefer warm neutrals

  • You love linen, soft music, and a good novel

  • Your décor philosophy leans: “Calm the room, calm the mind.”

Alabaster is ethereal. Backlighting turns it into a glowing moonstone. It fits bedrooms, reading nooks, spa bathrooms — basically anywhere your soul goes to exhale.

The Answer is….

Here’s the answer (you knew this was coming!): You don’t have to pick just one personality. You contain multitudes. So does your home.

Onyx in the living room for drama.
Alabaster in the bedroom for serenity.
Marble in the kitchen because… well… marble in the kitchen.

Each vessel becomes a signature piece — a sensory sculpture that elevates any space.
