Admire time with the Pink Hourglass
A Pink Hourglass to make a lasting impression
The special features of this Pink Hourglass come down to its classic construction and the color of the fine sand it contains. In fact, far beyond the pink sand, it’s the rigid platforms and sturdy pillars that frame the hourglass that lend it an almost antique air, invariably reminiscent of the temples of yesteryear.
A decorative piece that catches the eye
With a pink sand glass, you’re guaranteed to stand out from the crowd. The contrast between the pink and the sober colors of the black or white pillars is sublime. Perfectly symmetrical and with a solid design, the pink color of the fine sand adds a touch of fantasy to a rather traditional ensemble.

Bought this for my daughter’s bedroom shelf and she’s barely left it alone. She’s seven and spent a good twenty minutes watching the pink sand trickle through, then promptly timed her tooth brushing with it. The four pillars feel properly sturdy too, so no worries when she flips it over a bit enthusiastically.
Brian Kettleby –
Bought one for my granddaughter and her smile when she opened it was lovely to see. Easy to turn over and the pink looks lovely. She’s put it on her windowsill.

Spot on. Sand runs in a steady, thin stream with no clumping at all, which is what I was fretting about. Sits on my desk and I find myself watching the little cone build up when I should be answering emails.
Colin Marsden –
Chuffed with this. The pink against the dark pillars looks far classier than the photos suggested, and it’s got a decent weight to it. Does exactly what it says. Already eyeing up another for the office.
Zoe Fairweather –
Lovely little thing and the colour is cracking. Only reason it misses a star is that it’s a touch smaller than I pictured, though it still looks smart on the mantelpiece. Arrived well wrapped.
Martin Elphick –
Nice enough hourglass, but delivery took nearly two weeks when the site said three to five days, and there was no update from anyone. It arrived intact and the sand flows fine, so no complaints about the product itself. Just be prepared to wait if you’re ordering it for a birthday.
Margaret Hollis –
bought this for my granddaughter’s bedroom shelf and she hasn’t stopped turning it over since the postie dropped it off. Spot on.
Daniel Whitcombe –
Lovely bit of kit for my desk. The pink sand looks cracking against the four solid pillars, and it feels properly sturdy rather than flimsy like some I’ve seen. I find myself watching the grains run through the narrow neck when I should be answering emails. Chuffed with it.
