The 3D Memory Crystal Candle Holder is a vertical block of K9 optical crystal with a recessed cylindrical cavity at the top. The cavity holds a tealight or a small pillar candle. It is made as a memorial or tribute piece, for places like a memorial shelf, a mantel, or a remembrance table.
A photo you upload is engraved inside the crystal, not on its surface. The design team enhances the photo, including exposure, color and background, and restores older photographs where needed. They then convert it to a 3D model that fits the tall block. A 4K laser places millions of tiny points inside the crystal to build the portrait layer by layer. The crystal is hand-polished and inspected.
When a candle is lit in the top cavity, the flame light shines down through the engraving and backlights the portrait from above. A single clear portrait works best, ideally well lit with a plain or softly blurred background.
