Memorial 3D Photo Crystals

Most people who find this page already have the photograph in mind. Mum laughing at a family wedding, Dad in his garden chair, Nan holding her first great-grandchild. You want that face to look right, and so do we. One of us checks every photo before anything is made, then we engrave it inside premium K9 optical crystal using up to 15 million individual points, so the face has real depth rather than sitting flat on the surface.

The engraving sits inside solid crystal, so it will not fade, tear or mark with handling. Crystals we made four years ago look exactly as they did the day they left the studio.

Rectangles suit portraits and family photos, and they are what most people send us. A heart is the softer choice. The cube is the quieter one, and the Prestige Iceberg is for somewhere it will be looked at properly. If there are two or more people in the photo, go up a size so every face stays clear. Our shape and size buying guide goes through each one.

Engraving cannot be undone, so if you would like to see it first, tick the preview box when you order. It is free, we email it within 24 hours with any name, dates or line of text in place, and nothing is engraved until you are happy with it.

Every memorial crystal is made to order at our studio in Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire. Free UK delivery in 2–3 working days as standard, with 24-hour delivery available as a paid option if you are working to a funeral date, and a no-quibble guarantee behind all of it.

Questions we get asked

The only photo I have is old or blurry. Will it work?
Often, yes. A great many of the crystals we make come from creased prints photographed on a phone, screenshots and pictures taken years ago. Send it to us before you order and we will tell you honestly what we can do with it.

Can I have a name, dates or a short message engraved?
Yes, and it is free. If you tick the preview box, it appears on your preview so you can check every letter before we engrave it.

Will the crystal fade over time?
No. The image is inside the crystal, so there is nothing on the surface to rub off or fade.

Can I add a light base?
Yes, bought separately. It helps the engraving stand out in a dark room or in the evening. In daylight the crystal reads perfectly well on its own. See the LED light bases.

What if I am not happy with it?
Full no-quibble refund — no hoops, no questions. Get in touch and Sarah or Shaun will deal with it personally.
