What is the 3 1/2" Clear Crystal Globe on a Clear Crystal Base?
This crystal award is made from full-lead crystal with high refractive brilliance and hand-finished edges. It measures 3 1/2". This is the clear colorway.
Worth knowing before you order: 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.
Crystal is the accepted visual shorthand for "this one mattered", and that is why it remains the default for flagship recognition. Sand carving produces the deepest, most tactile mark. Laser engraving is faster and better suited to fine text and small logos.
At this price the item is a statement about the recipient. Personalize every one, and keep the list to people you could name from memory. Concretely: $80.00 each at 1-11, $49.60 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 1.35 in x 1.58 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
- Supply Pantone (PMS) references for any color that has to match exactly.
- A 300 dpi raster at the actual imprint dimensions will run cleanly. Anything pulled from a web page usually will not.
- Raster artwork should be at least 300 dpi at the finished imprint size, on a transparent or white background.
- Outline your fonts before sending. It removes the most common cause of a proof coming back wrong.
- Convert all type to outlines so fonts do not substitute in production.
Production schedule
| Digital proof | Same or next business day |
|---|---|
| Standard run | 3 to 5 business days once the proof is signed off |
| Rush run | quoted per job once the proof is signed off, with the date confirmed in writing |
| Delivery | 1 to 5 business days on the ground network |
Common uses
Executive recognitionBuilt for executive recognition. That is the use case the format was designed around, not one retrofitted to it.
Top performer awardsTop performer awards is where this earns its cost, and where buyers re-order it.
Partner and board recognitionBuilt for partner and board recognition. That is the use case the format was designed around, not one retrofitted to it.
Sponsorship and partner thanksGiven to the people who funded or enabled the work, in a form they can keep visible.
Employee milestonesAnniversaries, promotions and retirements: the moments where a personalized object does what an email cannot.
Executive and board giftingShort lists, individual personalization, and a piece that survives scrutiny.
Community and civic eventsLocal sponsorships and volunteer thanks, where visible presence matters more than volume.
Event and conference giftingHanded to qualified conversations rather than to everyone, so the spend goes where the pipeline is.
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. Donors read the gift as a statement about stewardship. Something visibly expensive can cost you more in confidence than it earns in goodwill, which is why restraint and a personal inscription usually outperform scale in this sector. $80.00 before breaks buys something that stays on a desk for years.
2
Technology, SaaS & Startups
Distributed teams have no office to carry the culture, so the objects have to. Company swag competes with genuinely good consumer products for the same desk space, and it usually loses. The piece has to be something the recipient would plausibly have bought, or it becomes a donation to a charity shop. 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. Give this to the handful of people who genuinely moved the number.
3
Employee Recognition & Service Awards
Recognition fails when the object does not match the words. If you are marking five or ten years of someone's working life, the piece has to carry weight. Literally and otherwise. Personalization with the individual's name is what converts a company gift into a personal keepsake, and it is the single highest-leverage decision in a recognition program. At this price the recipient list should fit on one page.
4
Financial Services, Insurance & Legal
Professional services sell trust, and the gift has to look like the invoice. Compliance shapes the purchase more than taste does. Many institutions cap the value of a client gift and require it to be logged, which pushes this segment toward pieces that read as considered rather than expensive. Decoration holds up in this setting, which is where cheaper substrates fail. Executive tier. Treat the engraving as carefully as the invoice.
5
Corporate Gifting & Client Appreciation
Client gifting has one job: to be kept. The recipient is rarely the decision maker you are trying to reach, which is the part most programs get wrong. Choose something that will sit in a shared space rather than a drawer, and the gift starts working on people who were never on your list. An imprint area of 1.35 in x 1.58 in is enough for a logo and a line of text without crowding. Even at volume it holds $49.60, which tells you what tier this is.
6
Government, Military & First Responders
This segment is precise about protocol and unforgiving about quality. Challenge coins, unit recognition, retirement and commendation pieces all carry established conventions. Sourcing compliance and documented lead times usually matter as much as the item itself. Spend it where the relationship is worth more than the invoice.

What do buyers ask about CRY113?
How should this be cared for?
Hand wash only with a soft cloth. Never dishwasher. CRY113 measures 3 1/2" 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.
What does it actually cost at quantity?
The published ladder on CRY113 runs from $80.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $49.60 at 500+, about 38% less per piece. Price breaks on this item fall at 1-11, 12-23, 24-47, 48-95, 96-249, 250-499, 500+. 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.
How long does production take?
Door to door at standard speed: a day for the proof, 3 to 5 business days in production, then 1 to 5 business days in transit. 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. CRY113 sells from a single unit at $80.00, 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.
What if the artwork does not fit the imprint area?
The personalization area on CRY113 is 1.35 in x 1.58 in. If your mark does not sit well in that shape we redraw or re-proportion it and show you the result on the proof before anything is produced. Engraving is charged on the share of the area your artwork covers, so a smaller mark costs less.
Can you work to a fixed in-hand date?
Yes. Give us the in-hand date and checkout tells you immediately whether standard production makes it. Standard production is 3 to 5 business days after proof approval, then 1 to 5 business days of ground transit. A rush is quoted per job, with the date confirmed in writing before you pay.
What is the minimum order for CRY113?
CRY113 can be ordered from a single piece. The published ladder on CRY113 runs from $80.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $49.60 at 500+, about 38% less per piece. There is no setup fee at any quantity. The personalization area on CRY113 is 1.35 in x 1.58 in.
