3D Crystal Iceberg

All of our custom products are made of K9 Crystal. We chose this material for its clarity, which makes it perfect for showcasing 3D engraved images. It’s also highly durable; even after a lifetime of use, these crystals never lose their characteristic shine.

All of our engraved products are made from high-quality crystal, which is pretty fragile. However, as long as you handle your crystal with care and display it somewhere safe, it should last for over a lifetime!

Our crystal products are made in our production facility at 2250 Arthur Ave, Elk Grove Village, Illinois

Nope, never! As long as your crystal remains intact, the image inside will be safe from any kind of fading, deterioration, or discoloration.

3D laser photo crystal engraving is more than just the most innovative way to preserve and display your favorite photos. It brings your memories to life with realistic depth and stunning motion inside a luxury keepsake designed to last for over a lifetime! Once you’ve seen your photo dazzling, optically clear crystal, you’ll want to share this experience with everyone you know.

Unlike physical photos that will degrade over time or digital photos that only exist on a computer screen, our 3D Photo Crystal benefits from being a gift that will last a lifetime and then some. You also have the benefit of choosing from a variety of crystals to memorialize your memories. From Rectangles, Hearts, Squares, Keychains, Necklaces, Candle Holders, and more! Just find a photo you cherish and get started.

You can use photos of people, pets, places, and everything in between, 3D Photo Crystals can be used to enshrine precious memories and people in our lives, both those who have left us and those who are still with us. Made from hand-cut K9 Crystal, chosen for its clarity and durability, they are the perfect gifts for all times of the year, from crystal hearts for Valentine’s Day to crystal rectangles to show off family photos on Christmas Day.

Have you ever wondered how we create such detailed and clear crystal engravings? Once your 3D model is ready, our team uses state-of-the-art subsurface crystal engraving machines to laser small white dots inside the crystal. These dots are laser etched to form the full model inside the crystal. The level of precision and detail achieved through this process is truly remarkable.

Text engravings are also engraved using this same method, with the text engraved closer to the surface to ensure it does not overlap with the model engraving.

Next, our team will review your crystal after it is finished engraving and before it is boxed up for shipping. If we find any mistakes or imperfections, we will remake the crystal to ensure you receive a great final product. Now you know how 3D Crystal Engravings work. But how can you contribute to this high-tech process?

That's the easiest part. Click the image below to visit our shop, select a crystal that matches what you're looking for, upload your image, and you'll be on your way to getting your own Crystal Engraving.

All of our custom crystals are engraved using state-of-the-art laser technology that allows us to create tiny etchings at specific points beneath the surface of the crystal.

To make sure we can create the best possible 3D image inside your custom crystal, we’ve come up with a solid rubric for the maximum number of faces or figures we can engrave inside each of our crystal shapes and sizes. You’ll be able to see the recommended number of faces for each size when customizing your crystal shape in our shop.

1-2 figures: Small Rectangle, Small Square, Small Heart, Small Diamond, Small Iceberg, all of our Necklaces, Keychains, and Wine Stoppers

Up to 3 figures: Medium Rectangle, Medium Square, Medium Heart, Medium Diamond, Medium Iceberg

Up to 4 figures: Large Square, Large Heart

Up to 5 figures: Large Rectangle, Large Diamond, Large Iceberg, X-Large Heart, XX-Large Square

Up to 6 figures: XX-Large Rectangle

Up to 8 figures: XXX-Large Rectangle

Up to 9 figures: Max Rectangle

Up to 15 figures: Titan Rectangle

For our crystal necklaces, keychains, and wine-stoppers, we recommend using photos with 1-2 figures.

If you’re uploading a picture with more than one person or pet, be sure to let us know how many of the figures you want to have included in your crystal. You can do this by writing a special request in your Order Notes during checkout. If you don’t plan to include everyone in the photo, please specify which figures you’d like to have engraved.

Typically, our designers remove the background of your image to make the people and pets in your photo the focal point of your engraving. However, the whole point of a customizable product is that you get to decide how it looks! If the background of your photo is important to your engraving, you can opt to include it for an additional fee by selecting 2D Background after uploading your image.

Please note that your background will appear in 2D, but people and pets will still appear in 3D unless otherwise specified. Before finalizing your purchase, always double-check your order summary during checkout to make sure that 2D Background has been enabled for your item.

If there are a few objects of importance in the background of your photo that you’d like to keep in your engraving, but you’d like the rest of your background removed, you should still select 2D Background. Then, you can add more specific instructions in your Order Notes. The additional fee still applies.

If there are people and pets in both the foreground and background of your photo, you’ll need to let us know in your Order Notes if you want to include everyone in your engraving. You don’t need to select 2D Background to make this request unless you actually want your background to be included in your engraving.

That would be neat, but unfortunately laser engraving isn’t the same as laser printing. Our custom crystal images are created by making tiny laser etchings on specifically plotted points beneath the surface of the crystal. Because of that, we’re not able to deposit color. We still think the final product looks pretty cool!

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.

Well, almost. You can send us a photo of any subject, but there are other factors that can affect your engraving. To get the best results for your 3D Crystal, you’ll need to upload a clear, high-resolution photo. You should avoid photos taken in poor lighting or from unusual angles (for example, a bird’s eye view.) The best images to upload are close-up portraits of the people, places, or pets you want to capture in 3D.

Selecting a photo is the most important part of your customization process. After all, your 3D image will be the focal point of your crystal! Our designers ensure that each photo looks its best before engraving, but certain types of photos can produce especially breathtaking 3D images.

Here are a few tips to help you choose the best picture for your 3D engraving.

Portraits and half-body shots tend to yield the most impressive results. To get the neat “following” effect on the backside of your crystal, you should pick a photo with a clear view of the subjects. All faces should be looking into the camera.

Choose a photo that was taken in good lighting. Shadows can sometimes become empty space in a 3D engraving.

Try to avoid photos taken from a bird’s eye view or other unusual angles. These images can sometimes look strange as 3D engravings.

You’ll receive a warning message if you try to upload an image that doesn’t meet our minimum requirements. However, our system can’t detect every potential issue with an image. We do our best to screen each image we receive, but if you have any doubts about your photo, you should email it to us at info@artpix3d.com

When you upload your photo to our online template, we’ll show you a quick visual guide with examples of good and bad quality photos to help you determine if your image is usable. If the photo you provide doesn’t meet our minimum requirements, you’ll receive a warning message that will prompt you to choose a different picture.

As a final precaution, we double-check each image we receive for potential problem areas. We’ll contact you if we notice something that could negatively affect your engraving.

If you’re unsure about the quality of your image, let us take a look before you order! You can send us your photo at info@artpix3d.com or message us by clicking Chat in the lower right corner of your screen.

It’s easy! When you select a crystal in our shop, you’ll be able to upload a photo from your computer or mobile device onto a template by clicking Upload Photo.

Once your image is uploaded, you’ll drag it into the position you want, then use the Rotate and Zoom tools to adjust its size and orientation on the template. When you’re finished, select Done to continue customizing your item.

Before proceeding to checkout, always make sure that your image is positioned the way you’d like it to appear in your crystal. Double-check that your figures are centered and that no important features have been cropped out.

Of course! You can add custom text to any size of our 3D Crystal Rectangle, Square, Heart, or Diamond.

After uploading your photo, select the text box labeled Custom Engraving to write your message. It should be 150 characters or less, including spaces.

You can review your message in your order summary once you add the item to your cart. You should always proofread your text before completing your purchase!

We’re not able to engrave text on any of our crystal necklaces, keychains, or wine stoppers because of their small size. We’re also unable to add text to our 3D Crystal Iceberg due to its unusual shape.

Typically, our designers engrave your text underneath your image. If you’d like to customize the layout of your text, you can specify this in your Order Notes. Be aware that we may not be able to approve every request, especially if we feel that it could poorly impact the appearance of your crystal. To run your concept past us before ordering, email us at info@artpix3d.com

Please note that your custom text will only be readable on the front side of your crystal. We cannot engrave text on the side with the “following” effect.

It’s super simple! First, check with our customer support team to make sure your request is feasible. You can email us at info@artpix3d.com or send us a message by selecting Chat in the lower right corner of your screen. If your request is approved, you can add it to your order by typing it under Order Notes during checkout.

Please note that we’re not able to approve every special request, and we cannot accommodate special directions for the carrier to leave your package in a particular spot outside your home.

Sure, we can engrave mature or adult content, as long as it’s legal. However, if we feel that your photo’s content is inappropriate, we may choose to decline the order. Should this happen, you’ll receive a refund.

You can email your photo to us at info@artpix3d.com if you’d like us to evaluate it before you place your order. Don’t worry: your photos are safe with us. We never use them for any purpose other than creating your crystal.

Before we can engrave your photo in 3D inside the crystal shape of your choice, we first need to build a digital model. This allows us to create and perfect a beautiful, three dimensional version of your photo that looks almost real! With a 3D Preview, you can sneak a peek at your 3D model and custom text to make sure you’re happy with it before you order your 3D Photo Crystal.

The 3D Preview is an optional feature that lets you see what your photo will look like in 3D before we engrave it inside your crystal. It also gives you the opportunity to let us know if there’s anything you think we could do better. This helps us ensure that your final product is everything you hoped for!

When you order a 3D Crystal, the 3D Preview option will be automatically enabled during checkout. This feature is completely free. However, if you’re pressed for time and need your order shipped ASAP, you can choose to opt out of the 3D Preview by deselecting it.

As soon as we finish creating your 3D Preview, we’ll send you a link via email where you can view it. You’ll need to approve your model before we can move forward with your engraving. You can also request changes to your model if you’re not satisfied with the results. However, be aware that once you approve your model, you won’t be able to request any further changes.

Please note that if you wait more than a day to respond after receiving your 3D Preview, it could affect your estimated delivery time. Requesting changes to your model may also delay your order.

As soon as we’re finished creating your 3D Preview, you’ll receive a link via email where you can view it online. Simply enter your order number and email address to access it. Once you’ve had a chance to review your 3D Model, we’ll need your feedback so that we can move forward with your engraving. Select Approve if you’re happy with your preview, or Rework if there’s something you’d like us to improve. Be aware that once you approve your model, you won’t be able to make any further changes. Please be sure to respond promptly after you receive this link; if you wait too long, it could affect your estimated delivery time.

That’s the beauty of ordering a 3D Preview: if you’re not happy with the way it looks, you’ll be able to request edits to your 3D Model free of charge! Select Rework and write us a detailed message in the text box explaining how you’d like us to improve your model. We’ll let you know via email when we receive your request and when your updated 3D Preview is available for you to review. Please be aware that, while we’ll do our best to accommodate your rework instructions, we can’t always guarantee that your request will be feasible.

Ready to show off your personalized 3D Photo Crystal? The first thing you’ll want to do is choose a secure location in your home where it isn’t likely to fall or get knocked over. Second, it helps if you can find a dark, solid-color background to make your image stand out. Finally, for the best 3D experience, we recommend purchasing an LED Light Base to put your custom engraving in the spotlight!

We offer three different light base options, and our website automatically recommends the correct size and type based on the crystal you select when personalizing your order.

Wooden Light Base – Features color-changing RGB lighting (white, red, green, blue, yellow, cyan, and purple).

Plastic Light Base – A white light illuminated base available in the recommended size for your crystal.

Rotating Light Base – Features color-changing RGB lighting (white, red, green, blue, yellow, cyan, and purple) while continuously rotating your crystal for a dynamic display.

The wooden and plastic light bases are powered by a supplied cord. The rotating light base can be powered either by the included cord or by three AA batteries, giving you the flexibility to display your crystal with or without a cable.

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.

No — we do not include invoices, receipts, or pricing information inside our packages. This is intentional, as many of our items are sent as gifts. By leaving invoices out, we help ensure that the surprise isn’t spoiled for the recipient.

When placing your order, please use your own email address — not the recipient’s. All order confirmations, receipts, and tracking updates are sent via email. This way, the recipient won’t accidentally see pricing or spoil the surprise before the gift arrives.

Sometimes, a recipient may receive a package and call us to find out who sent it. For privacy reasons, we cannot disclose the purchaser’s information. We understand that this might be disappointing for recipients, but we take customer privacy very seriously and cannot share personal details without permission.

If you’d like the recipient to know it’s from you, we recommend letting them know after the gift arrives.

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.

Of course not! We offer you the option to create an account so we can improve your online experience, but our website lets you customize your crystal and place your order with no strings attached. After checkout, we’ll ask you if you’d like to create an account with us, and whatever you decide is just fine. You can also change your mind at any time by going to the Sign In page.

It’s easy! Just go to our Sign In page and select Sign Up. Then, enter your email address and create a secure password that you don’t use for other websites. You’ll also have the option to create an account during the checkout process when you place an order. Welcome to the ArtPix3D family!
