The Heart of Paradise from Heirloom Hourglass is a design that combines the gem of love, the nautical element of the ocean, and the romance of Hawaii. We start with the finest grade of natural semi-precious genuine rose quartz for the bases of this hourglass. Also known as the gem of love, the rose quartz we select is chose for its perfect shade of pink and its natural beauty. The rope shaped pillars are crafted from a very special hardwood known as Koa. This incredible wood is from a species of tree native to the islands of Hawaii, and it shines with an iridescence that makes it appear as though it is lit from within. This Hawaiian Koa is highly sought after by craftsmen and artisans for use in making the finest furnishings and heirlooms. The Heart of Paradise is appropriately completed with our solid pewter Heart of the Sea closures on each side. These pewter closures add the nautical element of the seas, and they feature a variety of seashells and starfish arranged in an elegant heart shaped design. The Heart of Paradise is truly a wonderful Heirloom Hourglass for your Wedding Sand Ceremony or any special occasion, and it will store and display the beach sands or colored sands you fill it with for many future generations to enjoy. A collection kit is included in the price, and we offer many options for personalizing and customizing 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.
