subject: Crystal Is The Natural Choice For A Refined And Sophisticated Award [print this page] Crystal is revered by countless people and it is no surprise why: handiwork made of crystal is among the finest ever created. It is why people pull out the crystal dinnerware for special occasions and why stately homes and businesses regularly have a stunning crystal chandelier hanging in their foyers. The value and beauty of crystal is clear (no pun intended) and it makes a splendid gift for any affair.
When it comes to honoring someone on their special day or for a job well done, a crystal award or trophy is a perfect way to let the person know how you feel. Crystal awards come in a host of designs and shapes and most can be customized with your personal sentiments engraved onto them. Awards such as these stand out among other awards and gifts because they are not only striking in appearance but were created exclusively with the recipient in mind.
Crystal awards are not only for fancy events but can be simple yet elegant pieces that acknowledge the most humble of accomplishments. Imagine the joy of a hard-working volunteer when he or she receives a delightful honor in her name. To the business associate who has went above and beyond their responsibilities, or to the mom who was always there for you, giving a unpretentious yet stylish crystal award can make the recipient feel incredibly honored and valued.
Crystal awards come in a multitude of swanky styles and designs, from the multi-faceted walls of an ornate vase to the punch bowl that is brought out during those special occasions. Crystal is wonderful to use in creating awards because it mirrors the natural crystals of the earth; they are sparkling, clear, with smooth yet strong edges that reflect all the colors of the rainbow as light penetrates and refracts off the crystal molecules. Crystal is like glass bigger and better sister: more elegant, more refined, yet humble enough to be fashioned into an award on anyones budget.
The highlight of giving a crystal award is the personal sentiments that can be engraved onto it. There are several methods to engrave onto crystal but the best method considered by many is sandblasting. Sandblasting can be used to etch or engrave into any type of crystal, where other methods such as laser need metal in the crystal to achieve optimum results. Sandblasting can create the best textures and depth of designs on lead-free and optical crystal as well as on lead crystal.
If you need an idea for a classy and unique award or gift, consider a customized crystal award. With your carefully chosen sentiments engraved on it and enclosed in a sophisticated package, your recipient will be sure to love their award and cherish it for years to come.
