What is the 9 1/4" Crystal Star Column on a Black Crystal Base?
A working art sculpture award. Full-lead crystal with high refractive brilliance and hand-finished edges. It measures 9 1/4". This is the black 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.
A sculptural form reads as art rather than as an award, which is exactly why it survives office redecoration. Sand carving produces the deepest, most tactile mark. Laser engraving is faster and better suited to fine text and small logos.
A centerpiece rather than a program. Budget it as an event cost, because that is what it is, and expect it to be photographed. Concretely: $398.00 each at 1-11, $246.76 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 3.3 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 digital proof comes back to you first, every time. Production starts on your written approval and not before.
- Send vector if you have it. A .ai, .eps, .pdf or .svg scales to any imprint without softening.
- Name the PMS values for anything that has to match a brand standard; screen color is not a reliable reference.
- A 300 dpi raster at the actual imprint dimensions will run cleanly. Anything pulled from a web page usually will not.
- Vector artwork (.ai, .eps, .pdf or .svg) reproduces best at every size and is what we ask for first.
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
Flagship recognitionFlagship recognition is where this earns its cost, and where buyers re-order it.
Board and donor awardsBuilt for board and donor awards. That is the use case the format was designed around, not one retrofitted to it.
Annual top honorsSpecified regularly for annual top honors. The imprint area at 3.3 in x 4 in is sized for exactly that job.
Community and civic eventsLocal sponsorships and volunteer thanks, where visible presence matters more than volume.
Renewal and retention giftsTimed to the contract date rather than the calendar, which is when the recipient is actually paying attention.
Fundraising and donor recognitionThanking the people who gave, in a form that quietly encourages the next person to.
Booth and trade show handoutsThe item that gives someone a reason to stop walking, and a reason to remember which booth it came from.
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
Employee Recognition & Service Awards
Recognition fails when the object does not match the words. The presentation matters as much as the piece. An award handed over in a hallway is worth a fraction of the same award presented in front of the team, which means the object should be specified for the moment it will be photographed in, not the shelf it ends on. Decoration holds up in this setting, which is where cheaper substrates fail. A centrepiece, not a run. Expect it on display for a decade.
2
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 3.3 in x 4 in is enough for a logo and a line of text without crowding. The piece the room looks at. Price it as an event cost, not merchandise.
3
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. This is the one people stand next to in the photograph.
4
Government, Military & First Responders
This segment is precise about protocol and unforgiving about quality. Procurement documentation often takes longer than production. Quotes with fixed validity periods, documented lead times and clear line-item pricing move faster through approval than a better price presented informally. Reserved for a milestone big enough to justify the line item on its own.
5
Financial Services, Insurance & Legal
Professional services sell trust, and the gift has to look like the invoice. The gift is often opened in front of colleagues, so it is judged as a signal about the relationship rather than as an object. Understatement is the safe default, and a name engraved properly does more than any material upgrade. Minimum order is a single piece, which suits how this segment tends to buy. At $398.00 before breaks this is a once-a-year piece.

What do buyers ask about CRY010S?
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 CRY010S runs from $398.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $246.76 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
What if the artwork does not fit the imprint area?
The personalization area on CRY010S is 3.3 in x 4 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 I get a sample before committing?
Yes: order one piece. CRY010S sells from a single unit at $398.00, 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 does it actually cost at quantity?
The published ladder on CRY010S runs from $398.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $246.76 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?
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.
Do you keep this item in stock?
Yes. The warehouse shows 20 of CRY010S in stock as of the last hourly sync. If a color is short we say so the day you order rather than the week before the deadline. Standard production is 3 to 5 business days after proof approval, then 1 to 5 business days of ground transit.
How is this decorated?
Sand Carving is the primary method on CRY010S. 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. We can also run Laser Engraving and Color Fill on this item if the artwork calls for it. The personalization area on CRY010S is 3.3 in x 4 in.
What is the minimum order for CRY010S?
CRY010S can be ordered from a single piece. The published ladder on CRY010S runs from $398.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $246.76 at 500+, about 38% less per piece. There is no setup fee at any quantity. The personalization area on CRY010S is 3.3 in x 4 in.
