Gold Metal Rising 3-Star on Rosewood Piano Finish Base
Gold Metal Rising 3-Star on Rosewood Piano Finish Base (item 8C3101) is in our Corporate Awards range and is priced on a written quote rather than at checkout, because the warehouse terms for it are confirmed per order.

ground transit. It holds if your artwork is with us today and you approve the proof within one
business day. Checkout will not accept a date we cannot keep, and it names this one.

We promise the late end, because a date is worth nothing if we miss it.

What is the Gold Metal Rising 3-Star on Rosewood Piano Finish Base?
This art sculpture award is made from solid wood with a natural grain and a finished surface. It measures 9 1/4". This is the gold colorway.
Wood carries a warmth that metal and acrylic do not, and that is why it keeps showing up on service awards and retirement pieces where the message is personal rather than corporate. That is the difference between something kept and something replaced.
A sculptural form reads as art rather than as an award, which is exactly why it survives office redecoration. On this substrate specifically: laser engraving burns directly into the grain for a permanent mark. Expect slight tonal variation between pieces.
This is a flagship piece. It is bought for the one or two moments a year that genuinely warrant it, and it is expected to be on display for years afterwards. Concretely: $139.00 each at 1-11, $86.18 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 2 in x 2 in.
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.
UV Printing
UV-cured ink is jetted directly onto the product and cured instantly under ultraviolet light. Full-color, photographic-quality artwork with hard edges and no dot gain.
Best for
Multi-color logos, gradients, photographs and exact brand-color matching.
Color
Full color, including white ink on dark substrates.
Artwork requirements
- If the logo is only available as a bitmap, we need it at 300 dpi or better at final size, ideally on a transparent background.
- If brand color accuracy matters, give us the Pantone numbers rather than a screenshot to match.
- Vector files are the safe option. They hold their edges whether the mark runs at an inch or a foot.
- Send vector if you have it. A .ai, .eps, .pdf or .svg scales to any imprint without softening.
- Outline your fonts before sending. It removes the most common cause of a proof coming back wrong.

Common uses
Flagship recognitionFlagship recognition is where this earns its cost, and where buyers re-order it.
Board and donor awardsA natural fit for board and donor awards, which is one of the settings this art sculpture award was specified for.
Annual top honorsSpecified regularly for annual top honors. The imprint area at 2 in x 2 in is sized for exactly that job.
Client thank-you programsSent after a renewal, a referral or a project close, when the relationship is warm and the gesture will land.
Recruiting and onboardingIncluded in offer packs and first-day kits, where the object is doing culture work from the very first hour.
Sponsorship and partner thanksGiven to the people who funded or enabled the work, in a form they can keep visible.
Team and department awardsRecognizing a group without the cost or ceremony of individual crystal for every person.
Renewal and retention giftsTimed to the contract date rather than the calendar, which is when the recipient is actually paying attention.
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
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. Decoration holds up in this setting, which is where cheaper substrates fail. This is the one people stand next to in the photograph.
2
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. An imprint area of 2 in x 2 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 $139.00 before breaks this is a once-a-year piece.
4
Corporate Gifting & Client Appreciation
Client gifting has one job: to be kept. A gift that lands on a client desk and stays there keeps working long after the meeting that prompted it. That argues for fewer, better pieces rather than a large volume of disposables, and for decoration that will still look intentional in two years. Flagship recognition. One or two of these, not a programme.
5
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. 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.

What do buyers ask about 8C3101?
Can I order more later and have them match?
Re-orders reproduce rather than reinterpret. We keep the approved artwork on file against the item number, so a re-order runs from the same file. On natural materials the base itself can shift a little between batches, so tell us if an exact match matters. Standard production is 3 to 5 business days after proof approval, then 1 to 5 business days of ground transit.
What if the artwork does not fit the imprint area?
The personalization area on 8C3101 is 2 in x 2 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 see a proof before you produce the order?
Always, and we do not start without written approval. A free digital proof comes back within one business day of usable artwork, and nothing is produced until you approve it in writing. Once approved, the proof becomes the specification for the run, so check the spelling and the placement carefully. The personalization area on 8C3101 is 2 in x 2 in.
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. 8C3101 is priced on a written quote rather than a published ladder, and the figure is confirmed before you pay.
What artwork do you need from me?
Vector artwork is ideal (.ai, .eps, .pdf or .svg) with all type converted to outlines. High-resolution raster at 300 dpi or better also works, and a logo saved from a website is worth sending anyway. We check it against the 2 in x 2 in personalization area and tell you before you pay whether it holds up at that size.
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.
Do you keep this item in stock?
Stock on 8C3101 is confirmed when you order. 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.
What is the minimum order for 8C3101?
8C3101 can be ordered from a single piece. 8C3101 is priced on a written quote rather than a published ladder, and the figure is confirmed before you pay. There is no setup fee at any quantity. The personalization area on 8C3101 is 2 in x 2 in.
