One never forgets a visit to Caladesi Island, a completely natural island along the Gulf Coast of Florida. The Caladesi by Heirloom Hourglass was inspired by the natural beauty of this island with its white sand shores strewn with exotic seashells. Solid oak rope pillars and maple bases are exquisitely finished to enhance the warm glow of the wood grains. Like all Heirloom Hourglasses, the Caladesi can be filled with sand from any location from either side by opening and closing it with the two solid pewter ship wheel closures which come standard with this hourglass along with the collection kit. All Heirloom Hourglasses come with a collection kit and individually numbered gift book so you can capture a special moment, preserve your memories, and create an heirloom that will be passed on for generations to come. The Caladesi also looks great with 24 carat gold plated hearts or Birthstone ship wheel closures. Have the heart closures engraved.  This unique sand ceremony hourglass is the perfect addition to a wedding unity sand ceremony, family unity ceremony, or vow renewal ceremony. It is the perfect alternative to the unity candle for an outdoor wedding sand ceremony, destination beach wedding sand ceremony, or an inside wedding where a candle cannot be lit.  It also makes the perfect heartfelt gift for any occasion.
