Inspired by the natural majesty of the sheer granite and sandstone walls of a canyon towering towards the skies as they flank a mighty river carving its way toward the distant horizon, we offer The Canyon from Heirloom Hourglass. Symbolic of the churning waters of the river below and the steel blue of the sky above, the soapstone bases of your handcrafted hourglass encase solid oak rope shaped pillars that display the golden beige shades of the arid sandstone canyon cliffs. Whether your travels take you to awe-inspiring canyons, coastal beaches, the banks of a mighty river, the summit of a mountain, or on a trek through a vast desert, fill The Canyon from Heirloom Hourglass with some sands or soils from these adventures and bring your once in a lifetime moments home. The Canyon is completed with two solid pewter ship wheel closures, and the fine pewter is a perfect match for the steel blue shade of the soapstone and its subtle veins and flecks of shimmering quartz. These closures allow you to easily open your hourglass from either side so you can fill it with your sands or soils, and then seal them safely inside. Heirloom Hourglass offers a variety of optional closure shapes compatible with our various hourglasses, and we also offer options for engraved personalization. The Canyon, and all Heirloom Hourglasses, come with a sand collection kit which includes an individually numbered gift book with ample room for you to record notes about the contents of 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.
