Description
The optical crystal circle award is a thick clear disc with a deep recessed centre sunk inside a wide polished border. Foundations, hospital boards and engineering firms hand it over when the moment calls for glass that holds light rather than a flat certificate that ends up in a drawer.
Research grants, donor recognition, patent milestones and retirement presentations all suit a piece that sits on a desk without a stand under it. The bottom edge is cut flat so the disc leans back on itself, and the body tapers from a thick base toward the top, which keeps the whole thing stable on a shelf that gets knocked. Three sizes are made, 5 inches, 6 inches and 7 inches across the face, at 1.125, 1.25 and 1.375 inches thick. Decoration goes on the back of the award, up to 5 by 5 inches on the largest, so the artwork reads through the clear body and appears to float inside the recessed centre. A deep etch or a full colour print can both go in that same rear window.
Buyers who want the same round idea in three dimensions instead of a flat face often look at the custom sphere globe, a solid ball that reads the same from every side and needs a stand of its own. Both belong to the crystal awards range, so a foundation can give the globe to a lifetime honour and the disc to the annual list without the shelf looking mismatched. The disc holds its own on a narrow ledge.
Send the artwork and a proof comes back showing the etched panel centred behind the recess before anything is cut, with five working days in production once you sign it off.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the optical crystal circle award made from and how thick is it?
The optical crystal circle award is one solid piece of clear optical crystal with no separate base under it. Thickness runs 1.125 inches on the smallest size, 1.25 inches in the middle and 1.375 inches on the largest. The body tapers from a heavy bottom toward the top, which is what keeps it upright.
How does the optical crystal circle award stand without a base?
The optical crystal circle award has a flat-cut bottom edge, so the disc leans back slightly and rests on itself. The mass sits low because the piece is thickest at the bottom, which is what stops it tipping on a desk. Nothing needs to be assembled when it comes out of the box.
Where is the artwork etched on an optical crystal circle award?
The optical crystal circle award is decorated on the back, across 3 by 3 inches, 4 by 4 inches or 5 by 5 inches depending on the size. Cutting the art into the rear face means it reads through the clear body and looks suspended in the recess. Send us vector artwork and the placement is shown on the proof.
Can a full colour logo be printed instead of etched?
The optical crystal circle award takes a full colour print in the same rear window as the deep etch. That route holds brand colours and photographic detail that a cut line cannot carry. A deep etch reads more traditional and catches light along the cut.
How long does production take and how does it ship?
The optical crystal circle award needs five working days in production after we have artwork approval. Each piece weighs 1.05 pounds and travels on its own in a carton measuring 6.63 by 6.5 by 2 inches. Transit time is separate, so allow for it when booking a ceremony date.
What affects the cost of an optical crystal circle award?
The optical crystal circle award is quoted on quantity, on which of the three sizes is chosen and on whether the decoration is a deep etch or a full colour print. Artwork complexity feeds into the setup, and a repeat run from a stored file is simpler than new art. Ask us for a written quote against your expected numbers.
Which occasions suit a round crystal piece rather than a plaque?
The optical crystal circle award suits donor recognition, research grants, patent milestones and retirement presentations where the piece will live on a desk. A plaque needs wall space and a hook, while this one stands on its own bottom edge. The round face also photographs without hard corners catching the light.
