Crystal Photo Keyrings
A crystal keyring with your own photo engraved inside it. Choose a heart or rectangle crystal, plain or set in a soft leather keyring, and we laser the picture into the glass in three dimensions at our studio in Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire. Any text you want is engraved free, and if you'd like to see it before we make it, tick the preview box when you order — it's free and emailed within 24 hours.
This is the keepsake people actually carry rather than leave on a shelf. Because the image is cut inside the glass rather than printed on the surface, there is nothing to rub off — keys, pockets and time do not reach it.
Heart keyring or rectangle keyring?
The heart crystal keyring suits one face, or two people close together in the frame. The rectangle gives a portrait photo slightly more room. Both come plain or set in leather with a presentation box. At this size, one face close up is what works — anything wider loses detail. If you want something to display rather than carry, see the larger heart crystals and rectangle crystals.
Questions we get asked
What is a crystal photo keyring?
A small block of optical crystal with your photograph laser-engraved inside it, fixed to a keyring. The image sits within the glass in three dimensions rather than being printed on the outside, so it cannot wear away. Here is how the engraving is actually done.
What photo works best on a crystal key ring?
One face, close up. Two people works if they are close together in the frame. Send us the photo and we will tell you honestly whether it will hold detail at this size before you order — our guide to choosing the right photo covers the rest.
Will the photo wear off in a pocket with keys?
No. The engraving is inside the crystal, not on it. The outside is optical glass and will pick up marks eventually, as anything on a keyring does, but the picture itself cannot be scratched away.
Can I have a name or date on it?
Yes, free of charge. There is not room for much more than a name and a date at this size, and short reads better in glass anyway.
Is a crystal keyring suitable as a memorial keepsake?
Often, yes, for people and for pets. It tends to be the one people choose when they want it with them rather than on display. See also our memorial crystals.
How long does delivery take?
Free UK delivery in 2–3 working days as standard, with 24-hour delivery available as a paid option at checkout.
