The pet design on a bell-shaped glass ornament with your photograph. The bell is taller than it is wide, which makes it the shape for an animal photographed sitting up rather than lying down.

Vertical Animals

A dog sitting, a cat standing on a windowsill, a bird, a horse photographed head on: all of these are vertical compositions, and every other outline in the range crops them top and bottom to fit. The bell takes them as they are. If your picture is an animal stretched out across a sofa, the square is the shape that will hold it and this one is not. The proportion is close to that of a phone photograph held upright, which is how most of these pictures are taken in the first place.

What It Removes

The shape narrows towards the top, so the upper corners of the photograph go. Indoors that is wall or ceiling and outdoors it is sky, so the loss is almost always nothing at all. Keep the animal central and reasonably low in the frame and the crop is considerably kinder than the silhouette suggests.

On the Tree

Your photo stays in full colour, so a black or brindle coat keeps its real colour, markings and shine. Thin glass transmits light, so a bulb behind the ornament is what lifts the picture out of it. Hung near the end of a branch it swings slightly, and with a light behind it that movement catches the glass in a way the flat-sided shapes do not manage. It is one of the few ornaments that is better placed loosely than firmly.

Choosing the Size and the Version

The largest size is the one that makes the shape worth choosing, since the middle size is square in proportion and gives up most of the height advantage that brought you here. The bell is the most traditionally Christmas of our outlines, which suits an ornament meant to put the animal on the tree alongside everybody else rather than to mark an absence. A Santa pet version is also made, and a plain bell with no design at all for anybody who wants the photograph alone.

There are seven outlines. Heart, round, square, octagon, bell, bone and paw. Build your own set rather than take a fixed one. Ten per cent off at two, fifty at fifteen. Colour Enhancement is an optional extra, $1.99 per image.

Pet Photo Glass Bell 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.
