Cherry Wood Finish Hourglass Sand Timer with Metal Rods (60 Minutes)
The Cherry Wood Finish Hourglass Sand Timer with Metal Rods (60 Minutes) is a beautiful and elegant decorative piece. Standing approximately 9.5" high on a 3.75" base, with a dark cherry wood finish, black sand and black glossy metal rod accents that are tarnish resistant, it can add a touch of sophistication to any room, whether it is a living room, a study or an office space.
The engraving is cut in-house by HansonEllis, which has been personalizing gifts since 1999. Up to sixteen characters fit on a line and up to four lines can be engraved across the top and bottom wood bands, which is enough for two names and a date, or a full sentence of thanks.
An hourglass carries meaning that a clock does not. For couples celebrating an anniversary, or for anyone reaching a significant milestone, it stands for the timeless nature of a relationship or an achievement. For a graduate it marks the turn from one phase of life into another. As a wedding gift it speaks to the passing of time in a relationship and the importance of cherishing each moment together. For a new job or a promotion it is a symbol of a new journey beginning, and for employees or business partners it makes a unique corporate gift that says the value of time is what turns goals into success. Consider the recipient's taste and style when you choose one, and add a heartfelt note or message to convey what the gift means and your well wishes to them.
Give the hourglass to all of the guests at your wedding or anniversary. Let them take home a little piece of the party and have a moment lost in time every time they look at the stunning hourglass. This hourglass also makes a thoughtful and tasteful gift for all your wedding party members. Anniversaries, birthdays and retirements are all rites of passage through time, and there is no better way to commemorate these milestones than with this truly elegant timepiece.

Which one should I choose
The choice usually comes down to how long the sand should run and how much of a presence the piece should have on a desk or shelf.

|---|---|
| A small, few-minute hourglass | Choose that when you want something pocket-sized to hand out in quantity or to time a task rather than an hour. |
| An engraved plaque or clock | Choose that for a wall or a shelf display; the hourglass is the one people pick up, turn over and actually use. |
