A perfect compliment to the rustic décor of your home, lodge, or camp, The Family Tree from Heirloom Hourglass is sure to become a treasured family heirloom! This beautiful hourglass is ideal for any gift giving occasion. Give it to a loved one so they can fill it with sands from their travels, from their favorite lakeshore, or even with soils from the very grounds of the place they call home. For a special touch, fill this hourglass with colored sands that represent the birthstones of the members of your family and give it to a parent or grandparent. It will become a unique genealogical time capsule that tells your story for generations to come. The Family Tree is made from finely finished solid oak bases that contrast wonderfully with the carefully selected branch pillars positioned to envelope the hand blown glass. Your hourglass is completed with a solid pewter maple leaf closure on each side of the hourglass so intricately detailed it looks as if it drifted down from the tree into place. These artistic, natural elements of The Family Tree are a charming addition to any décor, and they combine to create the peaceful aesthetic of the outdoors. Fill your hourglass from either side by opening and closing it with the maple leaf shaped closures. We also offer a vast selection of colored sands, and many options for customizing and personalizing your hourglass are available on our website. The Family Tree comes with a collection kit to help you gather your own real beach sand or your soils and fill your hourglass, and it includes an individually numbered gift book. This book has ample room for you to write the story of the meaning of your hourglass and the special symbolism of the contents you place within it. 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. Please note that natural branches vary greatly and your custome hourglas may vary in appearance from the hourglass pictured depending on the branchs used. Click Here For Alternate Images
