The Classic is a handsome hourglass handcrafted for you from the finest materials. To make this Heirloom Hourglass, we select premium American black walnut for the rope shaped pillars, and pair it with Italian Bianco Sardo granite. The solid pewter ship wheel closures blend in and become one with the black, white, gray, and ivory shades within the stone bases, while light ricochets off the luminescent finish of the hardwood rope pillars that accentuates their striking curves. Classic materials like these only increase in value, making this fillable hourglass a perfect gift or keepsake that will be treasured for generations to come. The Classic can be filled from either side with your own real beach sand you collect from your vacations and travels, with colored sands, and more, by simply turning the ship wheel closures to remove them, filling your hourglass, and then turning the closures back into place to seal it. The Classic is ideal for formal occasions such as Wedding Sand Ceremonies, Vow Renewals, Anniversaries, and is a wonderful gift for the collector or homeowner. It will tell the story behind the meaning of the contents you place within it for many generations to come. Customize The Classic by choosing from the wide range of optional closures we offer, or personalize it with a variety of engraving options. A collection kit with all you need for gathering your sands and filling your hourglass is included. 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.
