This tabletop crystal is a six-sided hexagon block of K9 optical crystal with your photo engraved inside it. The faceted edges catch and refract light, so the engraving glows softly even without a light base. This cut is also known as the "iceberg" crystal.
After you upload a photo, the design team reviews and enhances it and builds a 3D model that fits the hexagon. A 4K laser then etches microscopic points inside the crystal, layer by layer, to form the image. Because the engraving is inside the glass, it does not fade, peel or scratch off. The finished crystal is hand-polished and inspected. This version has 4K HD engraving, which adds about 50% more dots than Standard for finer detail and smoother gradients. The difference is most noticeable up close or on a light base.
The hexagon works best with a single portrait, a couple, or a small group of two to three faces. Plain or softly blurred backgrounds engrave with more depth than busy ones. A name, date or short message can be added in the Special Instructions field at checkout, and a company logo can be engraved alongside the photo. It is made for indoor display on a desk, shelf, podium, mantel or display case.
