A first Christmas married ornament in heart-shaped glass, with your photograph in full colour. Three sizes are made, and the outline is doing a job that lettering would otherwise have to do.

The Heart Names the Occasion

A round ornament with a photograph on it could mark anything. A heart could not: it says the first Christmas in question is a couple's rather than a baby's, without a word of text on it. For a first Christmas ornament given to newlyweds, that saves the design from having to spell the occasion out across glass that is already carrying a picture.

Wider Than It Is Tall

Every size here is broader than it is high, which is how a heart is drawn. That favours two faces side by side, which is exactly the photograph most couples want on it, and it is why the heart suits this occasion better than the circle does. A heart crops harder than a circle, taking the corners and tapering at the bottom, so crop close to the two subjects before sending.

The Lightest Ornaments We Make

A heart removes more glass than a circle of the same width, so these weigh less than anything else in the range. That means one hangs on the thinnest branch at the end of a bough, where a heavier ornament would bend it downward and turn the picture towards the floor.

Files and Light

Glass passes light at this thickness, so a tree light behind the ornament shows through the picture. The photo keeps its full colour, so skin tones and clothing look as they did on the day.

A round version of the same design is made for a baby's first Christmas rather than a couple's, and glass is brittle rather than flexible, so it hangs out of reach of small children and animals. Order early, since December post runs slower and the date cannot be moved, and send us the file as it came off the camera rather than one that has travelled through a chat app and lost resolution on the way. An ornament is unpacked once a year, so the box it arrives in is worth keeping for the next thirty of them.

There are seven outlines. Heart, round, square, octagon, bell, bone and paw. A set is assembled from the shapes you pick.

From two pieces 10% comes off, from fifteen 50%. Colour Enhancement costs $1.99 per image. Buy two for 10% off, fifteen for half price.

First Christmas Photo Glass Heart Ornament FAQs

You can upload any high-quality image that you’d like to have engraved in your crystal. That could be a favorite family photo or a picture of you and your spouse. It could also be a really great selfie or a picture of your dog. Everyone has unique memories that are special to them, and at ArtPix 3D, we totally get that.

So go ahead! Upload a photo of the llama you saw at the petting zoo, the cactus that poked you on your family vacation, or the treehouse you used to hang out in before it got struck by lightning. Maybe this picture is linked to a significant moment in your life, or maybe it’s part of an elaborate inside joke; either way, we’re happy to engrave it in a custom crystal keepsake that you can treasure forever.

All our crystal items come in a custom black gift box with internal padding, which protects your crystal during shipment, and offers a great way to store your crystal securely when not on display.

Ordering a custom crystal online at ArtPix 3D is easy! You’ll start by selecting a crystal product from our shop. Next, you’ll upload your photo and adjust its position on a template of your crystal shape. Once you’re happy with your preview, you can customize your crystal by choosing your size and writing a note or caption to be engraved below your image. You can also select various add-ons to be included with your order, such as light bases, greeting cards, and a cleaning kit.

When you’re finished, double-check to make sure you’re satisfied with the customization options you selected. Next, check the box that reads “The personalization I entered is correct,” and select Add to Cart.

You’ll have another opportunity to confirm your personalization in your cart. Check your order summary to verify that the size, shape, and orientation (if applicable) of your crystals are correct. You should also proofread any text and make sure your selected add-ons are all present and accounted for. If you enabled ArtPix HD for your photo, your summary should confirm it.

Next, enter your payment and shipping details. If you have a discount code, you can apply it at this stage under Apply Coupon. You can also provide any custom instructions under Order Notes. Finally, select Place Order to finalize your purchase.
