Catalogue description

The hourglass features over 2,000 rough-cut diamonds, suspended in a silicon based fluid, completed by a 24k gold plated brass stand and pillars, marked De Beers, Louis Glick & Company. Gross weight 763.00 grams. Dimensions: 5-13/16 inches x 2-3/4 inches

Condition: Very Good. Time is of the essence. Marked De Beers on one side and Louis Glick & Company on the other. Accompanied by signed box and a battery operated illuminated stand. There are some scuffs, nicks, and scratches to the metal as well as a scratch on the acrylic container. The stand shows some signs of wear, and the box is somewhat in disrepair.

De Beers: For a century and more, De Beers diamonds had been set, anonymously, into the creations of master jewellers around the world; now the finest natural diamonds, both rough and polished, have a home of their own. Fusing the essential timelessness of the diamond with dynamic, contemporary yet classic designs, we are the leaders in diamond jewellery innovation in both artistry and craftsmanship. De Beers Diamond Jewellers was established in 2001 as an independently managed and operated company by LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton, the world's leading luxury goods company, and De Beers SA, the world's premier diamond mining and marketing company.
