"The Silver Anniversary"
This hourglass is specially crafted with the 25th Wedding Anniversary in mind. The rope pattern is chosen for the two intertwining strands that perfectly symbolize the intertwining of two people’s lives that lead them to their 25th Anniversary celebration. This Heirloom Hourglass comes standard with two solid pewter ship wheels and a sand collection kit. Complete The Silver Anniversary with sands from the first beach you went to together as a couple, sands from a special location you’re celebrating your 25th at, or sands from any location with symbolic meaning to you. This model also makes a great gift for children to give their parents on their 25th Anniversary. Many people customize this hourglass with solid pewter hearts, or with solid pewter ship wheels that have the couple’s Birthstones in them. A silver plate engraved with names, dates, and a special note is the perfect finishing touch. Found on Page 3 of Wedding and Special Ooccasion Hourglasses In the Shop Online section of the website.
