Resources & Services
Colored sand for hourglasses received mostly positive feedback. Customers praised the "beautiful colors," fine quality, and prompt delivery. Many used it for weddings and memorial purposes. However, several shoppers reported flow issues—sand getting stuck or clumping. Some noted grains were too large or rough, causing blockages. Packaging problems and moisture issues were mentioned.

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.
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..?
great
Thanks for the sand
The sand had beautiful color, and low powder which is nice, however the grains are too large and are also very rough and jagged (if you look at them under a microscope (I know, I'm a nerd)) which causes them to lock up and not flow through my Kelvin and Hughes hourglass. Unfortunately, because of that I cannot use the sand.Now I'm using number 12 glass beads for the "sand" with no issues.
Thank you for shopping with us! Looking up your order history I see you purchased sand from us but not one of our fillable hourglasses. It's why we have this in the first line of the description: 'We now have sand available for your kit hourglass purchased from us!' We know the sand flows through our fillable hourglasses but we can't attest to whether it will work for hourglasses purchased elsewhere :-).

excellent workmanship.
It was more yellow than gold, and don’t have much glitter in it.
I am still waiting on this package.
The sand turned out perfectly. They were very easy to work with and sent a replacement right away when my first order wasn’t delivered. Very happy with the price and the quality!
White sand for cremated remains. Period.
Loved it. Easy directions to put together. Great gift!
We absolutely love how it turned out and can't wait to use it in our wedding ceremony!
I wanted to let anyone know that this was the best company to work with. They listened to what I wanted and directed me to the best Hourglass.. I know that when ordering online you run a risk of not getting exactly what you are buying. That was not the case it surpassed any expectations I had.. the best company by far
Couldn’t be happier with this hourglass! It’s elegant, beautifully made & a great addition to my decor!
I ordered this for my upcoming wedding. It is absolutely beautiful!!
Good stuff
This fine sand would have saved me a little time and money if I would have used it for my hourglass before buying elsewhere. I should have come here first!
I purchased an hourglass from a different website that came with the wrong color of sand, so I got this to refill it. It’s working well and is much finer. I’m curious what exactly the granules are made of — marble? Silica? Thanks!
The sand was perfect for my miniature hourglasses!!
I was unable to use the sand. The hourglass I was hoping to refill was not refillable.
Exactly as described. Thank you*
I bought several bags of various colors of sand, and am very happy with my purchase, the quality of the material, and the promptness of delivery.
Ordered hourglass and colored sand and that's what they sent.
Everything went well. I originally made a mistake and used the incorrect delivery address but I emailed customer support and they were able to change the address and responded very quickly to confirm.
Yep the sand arrived promptly was the color it said it would be and complements the glass nicely.
Thank you for this remarkable way to honor my loved one
I absolutely loved the product I received! Quick delivery.
The sand is nice for the hourglasses. I just wish it was more fine so the hourglass timer was more accurate and lasted longer with the ones that you pour your own sand in.
Great product with excellent prices. Fast shipping. Exactly what I ordered.
Quick delivery, beautiful colors and good size
