This crystal is a smooth, curved half-moon of K9 optical crystal with a photo engraved inside it. A 4K laser places microscopic points at exact depths in the glass and builds the image layer by layer. The engraving sits inside the crystal, not on its surface. The curve refracts ambient light around the image.
After you upload a photo, a design team reviews and enhances it. They convert it into a 3D model that fits the curved shape. This 4K HD version adds about 50% more dots than standard engraving, for finer detail and smoother gradients. A name, date or short message can be added in the Special Instructions field at checkout.
Portraits with one or two subjects work best, and plain backgrounds engrave with more depth than busy ones. The crystal is made for indoor surfaces such as a desk, shelf, nightstand or mantel. It is compatible with the Memory Light Base, sold separately, for illuminated display.
