A rectangle keychain keeps a photograph the shape it was shot in. Straight edges mean nothing is cropped into a curve, so a portrait keeps its shoulders, a couple keeps both faces and a small family group stays whole. A metal cap and ring are fitted to the top of the crystal, which is what lets it live on a working set of keys rather than in a drawer. Inside the block, a photo keychain made this way carries the image at varying depths, so the subject has real dimension instead of lying flat on one plane. An LED version is available if you want the picture lit, and a keychain with photo of the same image is easy to order in pairs or small sets.
Printed and resin keychains abrade within months, because the picture is on the outside where keys, coins and pockets reach it. A 3d crystal keychain puts the image below the surface of the block, where nothing can scratch it off, lift it at a corner or wear it thin. Sunlight through a car window will not fade it either, since there is no ink involved at any stage. The outside of the block may pick up marks over the years, but the engraving stays exactly as it left us.
Scale sets the limits. One face close to the camera, two people side by side, a pet, a car or a house all read clearly at keyring size, while a wide shot with distant faces does not. Upright or landscape both work, so the orientation follows your picture rather than the other way round.
Send any photo you like, including one taken on a phone. Our designers retouch it and clean up the background where that helps before anything is engraved.

A heart requires the photograph to be cropped into a curve, which usually costs you the edges of a group or the top of a subject. A rectangle keeps the proportions of the original shot, so a custom rectangle keychain suits two or three people side by side, a portrait with shoulders, a car, a house or a landscape. It is also the shape most people choose when they want something that reads as a keyring rather than as a sentimental object, which matters if it is going on a work set of keys.
Your photograph is created inside the crystal, not on it. A focused laser fractures the glass at controlled internal depths, and millions of those microscopic points build the image as a three-dimensional form. Nothing sits on the surface, so the picture cannot abrade against keys, cloud with wear or fade in sunlight. This is the practical difference between a crystal photo keychain and a printed or resin one, and it is why ours are still legible after years in a pocket.
A keychain is small, so the subject has to be close in the original photograph. One or two faces filling the frame engrave clearly. A distant shot, a full-length photo or a large group will not survive the reduction, and our designers say so when they send the proof rather than engraving something unrecognisable. Close daylight phone photos are usually excellent source material.
The plain version relies on ambient light passing through the crystal. The LED version has a small light in the metal frame: press it and the engraved points glow while the clear glass around them stays invisible, which reads well in a dark car or a bag. Both take the same engraving and the same text options.
Names, initials, dates and short phrases can be engraved beside the image at no extra design cost; add the wording at checkout. A designer prepares your photo and will say if it needs a tighter crop. The finished keychain is boxed and ships within 1-4 days in the US.
