Crystal Wedding Anniversary Gifts
Crystal is the traditional 15th wedding anniversary gift, and these are crystal anniversary gifts made from your own photograph rather than a bought ornament. Your picture is engraved inside solid K9 optical crystal, up to 15 million individual points, so it has real depth and cannot fade. Free preview if you would like one β tick the box when you order, emailed within 24 hours β plus free text engraving and free UK delivery.
An anniversary is the occasion customers explain to us most often, and it is easy to see why a crystal fits. A card gets thrown away and flowers last a week. A photo of the two of you, standing in glass on the windowsill, is still there on the next one.
Which anniversary is the crystal anniversary?
The 15th. A favourite photo from the wedding day engraved in crystal is one of the most common crystal wedding anniversary gifts we make β there is more on the 15th specifically in our article on what to buy for the 15th. That said, customers order them for every milestone from the 1st to the 60th β the tradition is a reason, not a rule. The 40th is the other one we see constantly, usually from an album photo nobody has had printed since the day.
Crystal anniversary gifts for him
The two most ordered for men are the cube and the leather keyring, for the same reason: neither looks like an ornament. The cube sits on a desk and takes up almost no room. The keyring comes out of a pocket a dozen times a day. Both start at Β£39.99βΒ£40 and both carry the same engraving as the larger pieces.
Crystal anniversary gifts for her
The heart is the classic, and it suits a close-up of the two of you better than any other shape. The crystal necklace is the smaller version of the same idea, at Β£39.99. If the photo you want to use is a group shot from the wedding, take the rectangle instead β a heart will crop the guests out.
Choosing the shape for your photo
The heart wants a close-up of two faces filling the frame. The rectangle and tall rectangle hold couple and family portraits, and are the right answer for anything wide. The Prestige Iceberg is for when it is going somewhere it will be looked at properly. The cube is the desk one. The keyrings and necklaces are for carrying rather than displaying. Our shape and size buying guide sets them out side by side.
If you are not sure, read our guide to choosing a crystal anniversary gift, or send us the photo and we will tell you honestly which shape suits it before you spend anything.

Questions we get asked
Which wedding anniversary is the crystal anniversary?
The 15th. Crystal is the traditional 15th wedding anniversary gift in the UK. That is why a personalised photo crystal fits so well for that year, though customers order them for every milestone from the 1st to the 60th.
What is a good crystal wedding anniversary gift?
The one with the right photograph in it. A crystal engraved with your own wedding photo, or a picture of the two of you, is specific to you in a way a bought crystal ornament is not. Choose a photo where the faces fill enough of the frame to hold detail, and the shape follows from there.
What are good crystal anniversary gifts for him?
The cube and the leather keyring are the two most ordered for men. The cube sits on a desk without looking like an ornament, and the keyring gets carried rather than displayed. Both are engraved with your own photo, and text is included free.
Can I have our names and the anniversary date engraved?
Yes, free of charge. Names, the date, the anniversary number or a short line of your own. If you tick the preview box when you order, it appears on your free preview so you can check every letter before we engrave.
Can you use an old wedding photo from an album?
Yes, and we do it constantly. Lay the print flat, photograph it on your phone in good light without flash, and send that. Plenty of our 40th anniversary crystals started life as a 1980s album photo.
How long does delivery take?
Free UK delivery in 2β3 working days as standard, with 24-hour delivery available as a paid option at checkout if the date is close.
What if it is not right when it arrives?
Full no-quibble refund, no hoops and no questions. In practice it rarely gets that far, because the free preview β tick the box when you order β catches problems before the laser is switched on.
