The name “Cabernet Sauvignon” refers to both the grapes and the wines they produce, which are regarded as some of the world’s finest, displaying a depth of complexity and richness of flavor - this is the inspiration for “The Cabernet”, from Heirloom Hourglass. The earthy-red nuances of the solid mahogany rope shaped pillars cast a beautiful glow – this classic hardwood is used to produce the finest furnishings and décor, and it only improves with age. Just as fine wines utilize solid oak barrels for proper aging and storage, the bases of the “The Cabernet” hourglass are made using solid oak that pairs wonderfully with the mahogany rope pillars. Solid pewter ship wheel closures complete this hourglass, paying homage to the ocean breezes that are a signature of the world’s foremost winemaking appellations and their temperate coastal climates. Perfect for Wine Country Weddings, Vow Renewals, and the wine lover on your gift list, “The Cabernet” can easily be filled with your own sands or soils from a special beach or vineyard.

Whether your idea of the Riviera is Cabo San Lucas in Mexico, Genoa in Italy, or Monaco and Cannes in France, “The Riviera” from Heirloom Hourglass makes the perfect keepsake from any of your coastal travel destinations! Just looking at this hourglass makes one think of beautiful beaches, warm breezes, and breathtaking sunsets – you can almost smell the suntan lotion! To capture the essence of a seaside sunset in a Riviera resort location, we use cedar bases, solid oak rope shaped pillars, and 24-carat gold plated solid pewter ship wheel closures.

The oak pillars are stained a medium brown to match, and the curves of the rope shaped hardwood glow as they reflect the light. “The Riviera” is completed with two sun-gold ship wheel closures, one on each side of the hourglass, that allow you to easily open it, fill it with your sands, and then seal it. Fill your hourglass with sands you collected from a beautiful beach where you spent a once in a lifetime vacation and witnessed a sunrise or sunset you’ll never forget, and be taken back to those moments every time you see your sands flowing through your hourglass!

If you’ve ever been on vacation to some seaside destination, set sale on a cruise ship to a tropical location, or enjoyed a day at the lake, you have undoubtedly been captivated by the event that nature gives us as the grand finale to these special events: The Sunset. There is nothing quite like watching the sun blaze down on the horizon while the sky changes from brilliant yellows to oranges to deep reds, and the light dances off the water while the shadows grow longer and longer. The Sunset model from Heirloom Hourglass is a tribute to special, fleeting moments like these that the best memories are made of. The Sunset is made from our solid oak rope pillars that are expertly finished with a subtle gloss varnish that brings out the warm glow of the wood grain. The deep red Garnet Oceanstone bases give the oak an almost yellowish-orange glow, and the 24 carat gold plated ship wheel closures provide a bright sun-yellow hue. All of these elements combine to create an hourglass of breathtaking beauty that you can fill with your own real beach sand from your Sunset destination Wedding or other once in a lifetime event. Customize The Sunset with a variety of closures and personalization options – 24 carat gold plated engraved hearts also match the Garnet Oceanstone beautifully! A collection kit is included.
