Four steps, from upload to delivery: 3D laser engraving, a preview you approve, and same-day shipping on your crystal photo gift.
An engraved photo crystal supplied together with the base that lights it, five inches wide and just over six tall, weighing close to six pounds. An engraved crystal is really a lens with an image inside it: on a shelf it looks like clear glass until light happens to fall through at the right angle. A led light base for 3d crystal removes that dependency. Light enters from underneath, travels up through the block and scatters only where the laser has fractured the material, so the engraving glows while the crystal around it disappears.
Bases and crystals bought separately produce the same mistake regularly: a base whose footprint does not match the block standing on it, so the piece overhangs at the edges or sits on a platform twice its width. Here the pairing is decided for you. The 3d crystal light base matches the block it ships with, the crystal sits flush, and the light is aimed into the engraving rather than escaping around it. That is the difference between an object that looks made and one that looks assembled.
In daylight the engraving reads on its own, faintly, the way any etched glass does. After dark a 3d led light base turns the same block into something closer to a small screen: the image is the only thing visible, suspended in a body of glass you can no longer see. That is the moment people notice it, and it is why the base is the add-on most owners say afterwards they should have ordered from the start. In a child's room a 3d led night light base earns its place twice over.
Up to four figures are recommended, engraved at varying depths so each subject keeps real volume rather than lying on one plane. Depth engraving rewards a close, reasonably sharp photograph with the subjects clear of the background; a distant shot or a scan of an old print is handled more honestly by the flat 2D panel, and our designers will say so on the proof. The first piece ships as an Initial Edition with a mounting kit, an adapter and a controller, and further crystals come with a connecting cord so they run from the same controller. Free text engraving is included and the background can be kept or removed.
More laser dots = more wow in every crystal, resulting in smoother, more defined and solid images. Next-level detail, same unforgettable memories.

An engraved crystal is a lens with an image inside it. Set on a shelf it looks like clear glass until light happens to fall through it at the right angle. A led light base for 3d crystal removes that dependency: it puts a controlled light source directly underneath, so the engraving is lit the same way at midday and at midnight. Customers who add a base almost always describe it as the part that surprised them, because the difference is not subtle.
Light entering from below passes through the polished crystal without scattering until it reaches the millions of microscopic fractures that form your photograph. Those points scatter it, which is why the image appears to glow from within while the surrounding glass disappears. Nothing is projected and nothing is backlit in the ordinary sense. The picture is the only thing in the block that can catch the light.
This is the practical reason to buy them together. A base narrower than the crystal leaves the outer edges unlit; a base much wider than the crystal looks like a plinth. Ordering the pair means the footprint matches, and it also means the two arrive in one box rather than as separate deliveries that may not line up.
Warm white is the version most customers choose for a living room or a bedside table, because it reads as lamplight rather than as electronics. Colour-changing bases cycle slowly and are the usual pick for a child's room or a gift meant to be demonstrated. Rotating bases turn the crystal slowly, which suits a shape with facets where the point is the light-play rather than the photograph alone. A 3d led night light base is the same object used as a low light source overnight.
Upload your photo at checkout and add any wording you want engraved beside it. A designer prepares the file and removes distracting background where that helps. The crystal and base ship together in a gift box within 1-4 days in the US.
