The classic look of richly finished solid oak bases and rope shaped pillars combined with 24 carat gold plated ship wheels creates the unmistakable mystique of ocean voyages, in The Heritage from Heirloom Hourglass. Since ancient times, mariners have taken to the high seas to find new lands, to shape economies, to wage war, and to make history. The wooden hulled tallships that crossed oceans and braved the unknown throughout the ages have inspired The Heritage and this hourglass is crafted for those with a love of the sea, of sailing, and all things nautical. The hourglass is the ultimate symbol of the passage of time and The Heritage is designed to be both a symbol of the evolution of maritime craftsmanship and to honor the heritage and significance of nautical history. You can easily open and close The Heritage by turning the 24 carat gold plated solid pewter ship wheels. Fill your hourglass from either side with sands from the shores of those places that hold a special meaning to you. A collection kit is included that contains all you need to gather your sands and create a classic, nautical family heirloom that will become a time capsule symbolic of the traditions, heritage, and history of your lifetime. 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.
