The Sailor from Heirloom Hourglass is a classic nautical design inspired by the history, heritage, and grandeur of sailing and the sea. Carefully crafted from American black walnut bases, solid oak rope shaped pillars, and completed with pewter anchor closures on each side, this hourglass is perfect for those with a love for being out on the water and an eye for nautical décor. The premium hardwoods are finely finished with a glossy marine grade varnish to achieve the timeless look of a wooden boat, and the ropes and anchors reflect beautifully off the bases. The hourglass is a nautical instrument used by sailors for hundreds of years, and stands as the ultimate symbol of the passage of time, maritime craftsmanship, and the majesty of the seas. Now, you can fill The Sailor hourglass with real beach sands or soils you collect from locations that hold a special significance to you. You will find many options for customization and personalizing your hourglass on our website, and The Sailor comes complete with a collection kit for gathering your sands and filling your hourglass. 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.
