I can't find the lid I want.

Hi,

I'm just beginning to begin candle making.  I want to make container candles in apothecary jars with flat black metal lids.  I've searched this site, poked around reddit, and scoured every supplier I could find, but no luck.  No problem finding apothecary jars, but flat black metal lids aren't anywhere I've looked.  It vexes me.  Please, could anyone point me in the right direction?  Even a stylistically comparable alternative would ease my vaguely panicky soul. From everything I've read so far, this seems like a great community.  Thank you.

If it's the 8oz apothecary jars, I think Candlescience's flat metal lids fit... but they don't have them in black - just bronze and silver.

Wellington has matte black metal lids that fit 10oz, 16oz and 32oz apothecary jars. Luckily, these can be bought individually, so sampling for fit doesn't mean being stuck with a bunch that may or may not be of use. That is, if you're going to use apothecary jars from another supplier. Wellington sells jar + lid combos of these.

Thank you very much.  I think that might be exactly what I'm looking for.

Is it just the black lids your looking for Reliquar? What size are they? I have lots that I don't need...if they are the right size...  you can have them for the cost of shipping....I will post a picture later this afternoon
