These are such beautiful hourglasses! They are exactly what I needed to display sand taken from the offshore crash site of my father's plane. I can't thank you enough for doing such a beautiful job on the engraving. My uncle and I are so grateful for your effort, and we will treasure them for years to come!
Cheryl, thank you so much for sharing the story behind these hourglasses. We are deeply honored that you chose them to preserve something so meaningful in remembrance of your father and his service. It means a great deal to know that the hourglasses and engraving will hold such special significance for you and your uncle. Please accept our heartfelt condolences on the loss of your father, and our sincere gratitude for his service. We hope these hourglasses remain treasured reminders of him for many years to come.
I ordered 4 colors and all arrived on time. There was an issue with the purple sand. It was clumpy and wet. There was also an issue with the pink sand packaging. It had small holes and when I lifted it from the box, the sand was getting everywhere.
Because the purple was wet, the hourglass is not working properly. Maybe sitting in the hourglass, it will dry out..?
Surprised at the quality and accuracy of the sand to time one hour. It’s elegant and sturdy. Very satisfied.
Having ordered from JustHourglasses before, I’ve always truly been enamoured with the pieces produced, this time was no different and the sentimentality of the present is something I find representative of high meaning and the fashioning of said is something I’ve always been joyful with, impressed by and grateful for, thank you.
Like the first one so much I ordered a 2nd hour glass urn.
Sorry for the mix up! Hopefully you have now received the correct hourglass we sent to you after you contacted us :-).

Beautiful timepiece showing off the different tones of wood. Easy communication with the company and shipping was fast with the item well packaged. The one small thing I wish was different was the size of the opening in the neck. I added my own sand and if there was a fleck of shell, it would jam. I would defiantly recommend and buy from this company again.
The engraved hourglass made a lovely thank you present for our outgoing Board President. The engraving was spot on and timely. Highly recommend!
I love it! Under promised and over delivered. Very happy with the tan sand instead of white
Modern-look with the glass and black posts. Unfortunately sand runs about fifty minutes. Still glad to have it
A very nice REAL hourglass. 2 minutes and 12 seconds over but that means I have more time to do wharever I am timing. Highly recommend these hourglasses!
Beautiful wood. Fine piece. Nice and solid. Timing fairly accurate. This buyer is satisfied!
This is such a cool hourglass! Had alot of questions and the customer service was fast and very helpful
This is a beautiful piece I bought my wife as an anniversary present. I purchased the optional engraved plate on the bottom. It's a very nice additional touch.
I like the product, was received in a timely manner. I must have done something wrong when ordering, I had tried to personalize it, but must not have saved it properly because it came without the inscription.
These were nicest looking hourglasses I found on line. Most of the others were cheap looking. I was very pleased with the quality and weight of this hourglass. It was a present and the recipient thought it was "a very cool gift".
The color is beautiful however, the sand gets stuck and doesn’t finish draining/flowing into the bottom glass piece. I don’t honestly know if it’s the sand or the hourglass timer but they were both purchased from justhourglasses.com. So that is disappointing.
Figuring gravity is unlikely to fail I thought I'd try an hourglass after two different clocks have failed within 6 months of purchase. The brown/beige natural color is nice, there is a bit of gold glitter in the sand, which is a nice touch. The 50 min time measure, at least in the product I received, seems right on. Its nicer than noisy timer, and more novel than a clock for timing my client sessions. I'm a bit afraid that I may break the glass, I think it'll survive being knocked over, not sure it'll survive much of a drop. Fully satisfied, thank you!
I've written a mystery manuscript (coming in 2027), The Listener, about a retired investigative reporter who sits and listens to people and uses an hourglass to control the length of the sessions (his penance). I searched for an hourglass that matched my vision - and this cherry hourglass is perfect. The quality, style and care with which it was delivered were first rate. A great value. It sits on my desk and I turn it each time I write.
