Gold Star Wall Plaque on American Walnut With Brass Plate

A wood award plaque carries its engraving on a separate brass plate, while acrylic and glass awards are etched into the award body itself. The walnut and cast metal build is opaque, so the text reads clearly under normal office lighting instead of depending on backlighting or an angle. Surface marks on the wood also sit away from the engraved text, since the message lives on its own metal plate.

Yes, laser engraving on the brass plate reproduces logo artwork as well as text. Line art or a vector file engraves most accurately, because the laser cuts outlines rather than shading, gradients or photographic detail. The gold star is a cast element and cannot be swapped or recolored, so all personalization happens on the plate.

Production runs 5 working days, and that clock starts at artwork approval rather than at the moment you place the order. Transit time is added on top of production, so count shipping days when the plaque is tied to a ceremony date. Approving the engraving layout the day it arrives is the fastest way to protect a presentation date.

Gold star wall plaques are given most often at employee of the year presentations, sales achievement awards, volunteer and donor recognition, first responder and military ceremonies, sports banquets, and dealer or franchise award nights. The single engraving plate suits one honoree per plaque, so a group of winners receives a matching set rather than one shared piece.

Yes, each brass plate is engraved separately, so every plaque in an order can carry its own name, date and message. Send the recipient list as typed text so spelling and titles match exactly, since the engraving reproduces the copy as supplied. Every layout is approved before the 5 working day production window begins.

Wipe the walnut and the brass plate with a dry, soft cloth and keep abrasives off the 24K gold electroplated star. Electroplating is a thin surface layer, so metal polish, scouring pads and ammonia cleaners can cut through it. Display the plaque out of direct sunlight and away from humid rooms, because wood can dry, swell or fade with exposure.

No, the star is cast metal finished with 24K gold electroplating, which bonds a thin gold layer to the casting. That produces the bright gold color at a fraction of the weight of a solid metal ornament. Handle the plaque by the walnut edge so fingerprints stay off the plated surface.

Per-unit pricing on the Gold Star Wall Plaque is quoted per order rather than published as a fixed tier list. Order quantity drives most of the difference, and the number of separate name layouts, the engraving content, and shipping speed also move the unit price. Send us your quantity and engraving text and we will confirm the current per-unit figure.
