Description
The Optical Crystal Desk Award With an Extra-Thick, Light-Bending Edge is a round optical crystal desk award. Its thick polished edge bends light for retirement, service, and leadership gifts. Five round sizes run from 3.25 inches to 7 inches wide for any desk.
The extra-thick edge is cut and polished to catch and bend light. That refraction frames the engraved words with a bright halo around the disc. Deep Etch engraving frosts your message into the back panel for a permanent look. VividPrint™ printing instead adds full-color logos or photos to that same panel. Buyers wanting a dimensional photo effect can choose 3D Etching on the subsurface panel. Desk awards like this one suit executives, retiring staff, and long-tenured team members. Each piece ships in a Carrington Box sized to protect the crystal edge in transit. Buyers wanting a tall, standing trophy instead of a flat desk piece should see the Sparkling Crystal Obelisk Award. This piece belongs to the Crystal Awards selection of optical crystal desk pieces.
Plan the presentation around the Optical Crystal Desk Award With an Extra-Thick, Light-Bending Edge and let its polished rim catch the room's light.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an optical crystal desk award and who typically buys it?
An optical crystal desk award is a rounded crystal piece with an extra-thick, light-bending edge. Companies present it for service milestones, sales results and retirement gifts. Its compact size fits easily on a desk, credenza or bookshelf.
How does a round crystal desk award compare with a tall crystal obelisk award?
The optical crystal desk award sits low and round, unlike a tall crystal obelisk that tapers to a point. It works well on a crowded desk or shelf where a taller piece would not fit. Buyers who want a compact, stackable award often choose the round desk shape.
What sizes are available for the optical crystal desk award?
The optical crystal desk award ships in five sizes, from 3.25 by 3 inches to 7 by 6.75 inches. Thickness increases slightly with size, from 1.125 inches to 1.375 inches. Larger sizes suit a more prominent presentation piece.
How does the crystal edge bend light on this desk award?
The optical crystal desk award uses an extra-thick edge cut to bend and scatter light across the crystal. That thickness makes the edge catch overhead light even when the award sits flat on a desk. The clear finish keeps an etched or printed message easy to read from any angle.
Which decoration methods are offered on the optical crystal desk award and where do they go?
The optical crystal desk award offers deep etch, VividPrint™ full-color printing and 3D subsurface etching. Deep etch and VividPrint™ decorate the back of the award, with imprint areas reaching up to 6.5 by 6.5 inches on the largest size. 3D etching sits beneath the surface in a matching size range.
What is the minimum order quantity for this desk award?
The minimum order quantity for the optical crystal desk award is one piece across every size. That makes it workable for a single retirement gift or a bulk order for a full department. Larger quantities are available at any of the five sizes.
How long does production take for the optical crystal desk award?
Standard production for the optical crystal desk award takes five business days across all five sizes. We recommend adding shipping time when planning around a fixed event date. Contact us if your order needs a faster turnaround.
Which recognition programs typically use the optical crystal desk award?
Employee recognition programs, sales achievement ceremonies and retirement send-offs typically use the optical crystal desk award. Schools and nonprofits also present it at graduation and volunteer appreciation events. Its compact, rounded shape suits a desk display long after the ceremony ends.
What affects the price of this crystal desk award?
Price for the optical crystal desk award depends mainly on the size chosen, from 3.25 to 7 inches wide. Decoration method, such as deep etch versus 3D subsurface etching, also plays a role. Order quantity can factor in as well.
How should a crystal desk award be cleaned and displayed?
Wipe the optical crystal desk award with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and fingerprints. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could dull the polished edge. Display it flat on a desk or shelf so the light-bending edge catches available light.
