This unique sand ceremony hourglass is the perfect addition to a wedding unity sand ceremony, family unity ceremony, or vow renewal ceremony.

It also makes the perfect heartfelt gift for any occasion. For hundreds of years, girls have filled wooden chests with items of personal meaning to them in anticipation of one day getting married and taking this chest and the special things within it to their new home. This simple wooden chest became a symbol of hope and love, and was a part of lifelong dreams coming true. Often, the girlâs parents would help her fill the wooden chest over the years with linens, keepsakes, photos, family heirlooms, and more. The young ladyâs father may have even built the wooden chest for her. In honor of this beautiful family tradition, Heirloom Hourglass offers The Hope Chest hourglass. Just as the wooden hope chests passed down for many generations were made from or lined with cedar, The Hope Chest is crafted with Eastern Aromatic Cedar or White Cedar wood for the hourglass bases. The finely finished maple hardwood rope shaped pillars match the cedar wonderfully, and the two intertwining strands of the rope are the perfect symbol of the bond of your relationship. A heart charm closure adorns The Hope Chest hourglass. These heart shaped closure makes opening and closing your hourglass. Whether youâre getting married, celebrating an Anniversary, or starting a new family tradition, you will create a beautiful heirloom when you fill The Hope Chest from Heirloom Hourglass with sands or soils from your Wedding Day, your travels, your home, the first beach you went to together, or any special place. Pass it on someday to your child for use in their Wedding, or for a special moment in their lives! A collection kit is included that contains a paper funnel, strainer, and other items needed to collect and fill your hourglass. Ceremony packages also available for purchase which include a hand blown glass funnel and glass sand pourers. Ready to ship in 2-10 weeks. Please add a note on your order if you have a specific date needed. Please also specify if you have a prefrence for the lighter or darker cedar.
