Description
Solid all the way through, this crystal ball paperweight magnifies the etch cut into its surface so your logo appears to float inside the sphere instead of sitting flat and forgettable. Built for executive gifts and long-service awards, it weighs down loose paper on a working desk.
Give the 4 inch sphere as a retirement gift and the recipient gets an object with real heft, the kind that stays on a desk rather than moving to a drawer. The 2.375 inch size travels better, so your team can hand it to a conference speaker at the end of a session without adding luggage weight. Sales leaders keep the middle size for top-account thank-yous, where a round shape reads warmer than a spike or a plaque. Nonprofits use the same sphere as a donor gift, since clear crystal photographs well on a banquet table. Your etched mark runs across the widest part of the sphere, and the curve enlarges it as light passes through, so a name stays readable from a doorway rather than only up close.
Set it beside the solid crystal block paperweight when one desk should hold two pieces, because the round form and the square form catch light in different ways and the pair reads as a set rather than a duplicate. If you would rather compare shapes before you commit, the full custom paperweight collection covers domes, cubes and flat rectangles that all run on the same production schedule.
Send artwork and choose a size, and production takes five working days once you approve it. Single pieces are accepted, so you can order one gift before committing to a whole program.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a crystal ball paperweight used for on a desk?
A crystal ball paperweight is a solid optical crystal sphere that holds papers flat and doubles as a recognition piece. Companies hand them out for retirements, sales awards and client thank-yous. The sphere is solid rather than hollow, so it carries real weight on a working desk.
What sizes does the crystal ball paperweight come in?
The crystal ball paperweight comes in three diameters: 2.375, 3.125 and 4 inches. The smallest travels easily in a bag, while the 4 inch sphere works as a top-tier award. Every size accepts the same deep etch decoration.
How is a logo etched into a crystal ball paperweight?
A logo is deep etched onto the surface of the crystal ball paperweight, in a band up to 3 inches wide by 0.75 inch tall. The curve of the sphere magnifies that etch, so the mark looks as though it sits inside the ball. Etch width steps down to 2.5 and 2 inches on the smaller spheres.
Does a solid crystal sphere roll off a desk?
A solid crystal ball paperweight is heavy enough to settle in place on a flat desk, and a sloped surface is the only real risk. Many recipients rest it on a blotter, a mouse pad or a closed book. At 1.24 lb it does not shift when papers are pulled from under it.
What events do companies order crystal paperweights for?
Companies order the crystal ball paperweight for retirements, long-service milestones, sales club awards, board thank-yous and donor recognition dinners. Executive desks are the usual destination, which is why the piece is built to sit out in view. Conference organizers also use the smallest size as a speaker gift.
How long does production take after artwork approval?
Production on the crystal ball paperweight runs 5 working days from artwork approval. Transit time is separate, so give your in-hands date before you place the order. Quick artwork approval is the single biggest factor in hitting a deadline.
Can a single crystal ball paperweight be ordered?
A single crystal ball paperweight is a valid order, because the minimum is one piece. That makes it practical for a one-off retirement gift and for a yearly award program. Ordering in volume lowers the cost per piece.
How should optical crystal be cleaned to keep it clear?
Clean an optical crystal ball paperweight with a soft dry cloth, adding a little water for fingerprints. Avoid abrasive powders and scouring pads, which leave fine scratches on a polished surface. The etch is cut into the crystal, so handling will not wear it off.
What determines the cost of a custom crystal ball paperweight?
Cost on a crystal ball paperweight depends on the sphere size, the order quantity and the etch area used. Larger spheres take more crystal and more finishing time. Send your size and quantity to receive a current quote.
