Named for the mythical lost city of gold, The El Dorado from Heirloom Hourglass combines rich materials to create a striking hourglass of brilliant beauty. We handcraft this hourglass for you using Tropical Brown Granite bases and cast fine pewter in the form of our signature rope shaped pillars that are then plated with 24 carat gold. The golden rope shaped pillars enhance the granite, and bring out its rich tones of brown and tan which are accented by a deep crystalline structure and black obsidian. The El Dorado is a captivating piece that reflects the light from the finely honed surface of the granite and the shimmering curves of the golden rope pillars. Two 24 carat gold plated solid pewter ship wheel closures complete The El Dorado. Perfect for the collector, Weddings and Anniversaries, and all gift giving occasions, this hourglass is sure to become a conversation piece that captivates all who enter your home. Fill The El Dorado with sands from your travels to create a one of a kind keepsake, and personalize it with an optional engraved gold plate. Your hourglass comes with a collection kit containing all you need to gather your sands and fill your hourglass, and the individually numbered gift book that comes with it includes our certificate of authenticity. 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.
