What is the 10" Crystal Diamond on a Clear Crystal Base?
The 10" Crystal Diamond on a Clear Crystal Base is a crystal award built around Full-lead crystal with high refractive brilliance and hand-finished edges. It measures 10". This is the clear colorway.
Lead content increases the refractive index, which is the technical reason lead crystal throws more light and looks noticeably more brilliant under display lighting than ordinary glass. It also adds weight, which is a large part of why crystal reads as a premium award. That is the difference between something kept and something replaced.
Crystal is the accepted visual shorthand for "this one mattered", and that is why it remains the default for flagship recognition. On this substrate specifically: sand carving produces the deepest, most tactile mark. Laser engraving is faster and better suited to fine text and small logos.
Reserved for the occasion that actually earns it. One or two a year, presented properly, and on display for a decade after. Concretely: $202.00 each at 1-11, $125.24 at 500+.

Decoration options
The decoration method is chosen to match the substrate, which is why the mark is permanent rather than printed on top of it. Standard imprint area on this item is 3.45 in x 4 in.
Sand Carving
Abrasive is blasted through a cut mask to cut into the surface of the glass or crystal. A deep, frosted, dimensional mark you can feel with a fingertip.
Best for
Crystal and glass awards where depth and presence matter more than color.
Color
Frosted white, optionally color-filled.
Laser Engraving
A focused laser removes the surface layer to expose the substrate beneath. A permanent, high-contrast, single-color mark with no ink involved.
Best for
Logos, names, dates and fine text. The default choice when the mark has to outlive the campaign.
Color
Single color: the natural color of the material under the surface.
Color Fill
Engraved or carved recesses are filled with pigment. A permanent engraved mark that reads in brand color rather than substrate color.
Best for
Metal and crystal where the logo must be recognisably on-brand.
Color
Matched to Pantone where the recess allows.
Artwork requirements
- Nothing is produced before you approve a proof in writing. That is a hard rule, not a courtesy.
- A 300 dpi raster at the actual imprint dimensions will run cleanly. Anything pulled from a web page usually will not.
- Outline your fonts before sending. It removes the most common cause of a proof coming back wrong.
- A digital proof comes back to you first, every time. Production starts on your written approval and not before.
- If brand color accuracy matters, give us the Pantone numbers rather than a screenshot to match.
- Send vector if you have it. A .ai, .eps, .pdf or .svg scales to any imprint without softening.
Production schedule
| Artwork proof | 1 business day from receipt of usable art |
|---|---|
| Standard production | 3 to 5 business days after proof approval |
| Rush production | quoted per job, with the date confirmed in writing before you pay |
| Ground transit | 1 to 5 business days depending on destination |
Common uses
Executive recognitionWorks well for executive recognition, where the crystal award format does what a printed handout cannot.
Top performer awardsBuilt for top performer awards. That is the use case the format was designed around, not one retrofitted to it.
Partner and board recognitionWorks well for partner and board recognition, where the crystal award format does what a printed handout cannot.
Community and civic eventsLocal sponsorships and volunteer thanks, where visible presence matters more than volume.
Recruiting and onboardingIncluded in offer packs and first-day kits, where the object is doing culture work from the very first hour.
Executive and board giftingShort lists, individual personalization, and a piece that survives scrutiny.
Safety and quality milestonesMarking a record that took every person on the floor to achieve, with something they can point at.
Internal contests and incentivesA tangible prize outperforms a gift card for exactly the reason you would expect. It stays on the desk.
Where this works best
The same item lands differently depending on who gets it and why. Here is how this one performs across the programs it sells into most.
1
Nonprofit & Fundraising
Every pound spent on a donor gift is a pound not spent on the mission, so the gift has to earn it. Recognition pieces for major donors and board members are the clearest win: they are relatively few, they are highly personal, and they materially affect renewal. For event merchandise, price the item to sell rather than to give. Decoration holds up in this setting, which is where cheaper substrates fail. This is the one people stand next to in the photograph.
2
Technology, SaaS & Startups
Distributed teams have no office to carry the culture, so the objects have to. Shipping is the hidden cost and the hidden failure. An item that arrives damaged or takes three weeks to reach a remote hire does the opposite of what it was bought for, so pack weight and carrier reliability belong in the specification. An imprint area of 3.45 in x 4 in is enough for a logo and a line of text without crowding. Reserved for a milestone big enough to justify the line item on its own.
3
Employee Recognition & Service Awards
Recognition fails when the object does not match the words. Consistency is what makes a recognition program credible. If a ten year award looks better this year than it did last year, everyone who got last year's version notices. Lock the specification and the supplier, and treat the item list as something you change deliberately rather than annually. At $202.00 before breaks this is a once-a-year piece.
4
Financial Services, Insurance & Legal
Professional services sell trust, and the gift has to look like the invoice. Understated materials, restrained decoration and genuine quality all read as competence. Anything that looks cheap actively undermines the positioning, so this segment skews toward crystal, leather and solid desk pieces. Flagship recognition. One or two of these, not a programme.
5
Corporate Gifting & Client Appreciation
Client gifting has one job: to be kept. Timing beats budget in this segment. The same gift sent a week after a renewal lands completely differently from one sent in December with four hundred others, because in January it is the only thing on the desk. Buy for the calendar you control rather than the one everybody shares. Minimum order is a single piece, which suits how this segment tends to buy. This is the award people photograph. Budget it as a single line.
6
Government, Military & First Responders
This segment is precise about protocol and unforgiving about quality. Protocol governs the object. Placement of insignia, order of precedence on a plaque and the wording of a commendation are conventions rather than preferences, and getting them wrong is the one error this segment does not overlook. Crystal is the accepted visual shorthand for "this one mattered", and that is why it remains the default for flagship recognition. $202.00 before breaks: reserved for the moment that warrants it.

What do buyers ask about CRY103?
Can I mix colors or sizes to reach a quantity break?
Yes, provided the artwork stays the same across the run. Different artwork is fine as well: it gets its own proof, and setup stays free. Price breaks on this item fall at 1-11, 12-23, 24-47, 48-95, 96-249, 250-499, 500+. The published ladder on CRY103 runs from $202.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $125.24 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
How should this be cared for?
Hand wash only with a soft cloth. Never dishwasher. CRY103 measures 10" and is made of crystal. Lead content increases the refractive index, which is the technical reason lead crystal throws more light and looks noticeably more brilliant under display lighting than ordinary glass.
What happens if something arrives damaged?
Tell us within 10 days of delivery and we replace it. Note any damage on the freight bill before you sign for it, because that is what the carrier claim turns on. Resolving it with the carrier is our job, not yours. The replacement runs from the artwork you already approved, so it matches the rest of the order.
How long does production take?
Standard production is 3 to 5 business days after proof approval, then 1 to 5 business days of ground transit. The clock starts when you approve the proof, not when you place the order. A free digital proof comes back within one business day of usable artwork, and nothing is produced until you approve it in writing. A rush is quoted per job, with the date confirmed in writing before you pay.
Can I get a sample before committing?
Yes: order one piece. CRY103 sells from a single unit at $202.00, the first rung of its published ladder, so a sample is simply a normal order. A decorated single piece goes through the same proof as a full run.
Can I order more later and have them match?
Yes. We keep the approved artwork on file against the item number, so a re-order runs from the same file. Material batches can vary slightly on natural materials, which is worth knowing if color matching across orders is critical. The published ladder on CRY103 runs from $202.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $125.24 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
Is there a setup charge?
There is no setup charge, ever. Art preparation, machine setup and the proof are part of the price on this page. Engraving is a separate line, shown per quantity in the cost table on this page, so the all-in figure is visible before checkout. Ground freight is free on orders over $250.
What is the minimum order for CRY103?
CRY103 can be ordered from a single piece. The published ladder on CRY103 runs from $202.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $125.24 at 500+, about 38% less per piece. There is no setup fee at any quantity. The personalization area on CRY103 is 3.45 in x 4 in.

- Ground freight is free from 12 pieces, which is where this order passes $250.00 of merchandise.
- The personalization area is 3.45 in by 4 in. Engraving is charged on the share your artwork actually covers, so a smaller logo costs less. Place yours on the product above and the price updates as you size it.
- At 50 pieces this costs less than 18% of the 610 other priced items in Crystal & Glass. It sits at the dearer end of that range, which is usually the material rather than the margin.
- Setup is free at every quantity, including 1.
