How to Choose a Crystal Award
by Paula Gomberg
There are various aspects you need to consider when choosing the best
award for your award ceremony. Among many factors are occasion, budget,
material, size, style, amount of verbiage, and design concept. This
article will help you to navigate through your decision of choosing an
optimal award .
The most important factor is the occasion for which the award is given.
There are common themes of awards appropriate for a particular
occasion: sales, achievement, service, donation, recognition, honorary,
innovation, motivation, patriotic.
Crystal obelisks and triangle shapes are a popular choice for sales
awards. Mountain peaks , obelisks and star award themes celebrate personal and
professional achievements. Eagle and flame awards symbolize
leadership, loyalty, patriotism, strength and perseverance, which makes them a
perfect choice for service or retirement awards. Donations are commonly
recognized with crystal plaques or wall plaques . If your award
celebrates global achievements, choose from a wide range of our globe awards . Stars and mountain peaks are a popular choice for motivational awards.
 In addition we created a line of sculptural crystal awards that
incorporate concepts in their design. The following sculptural awards are
tailored for a specific concept: victory , partnership , teamwork , foundation , innovation , key player , key to success , Wall Street , and spotlight .
The design of your award can also integrate industry specific elements.
For example, choose foundation or crystal key for real estate
companies. Crystal truck and airplane awards are perfect choice for transportation
companies.
Our selection of crystal awards range from $95 to $400. We offer free engraving on all of our crystal awards and trophies . Your additional
cost will be shipping charges plus a logo set-up fee of $35 if you choose
logo personalization. If you do have a set budget then opt for awards
within your price range. If your budget is less than $90 per award, we offer
the following crystal paperweights that can be used as awards: cube , pentagon , star , heart .
 Most of our awards are created in optic crystal . We work with crystal because it
is most prestigious material that manifests excellence, brilliance,
purity, perfection. Some of the awards combine hand-crafted bronze and pewter
sculptures with crystal bases. Our newest design additions feature
unique blue and black crystal. Clear crystal is more traditional. Therefore
if the nature of your award is formal, choose clear crystal or a
combination of crystal and metal. However, if you are celebrating innovation and
you want your award to be cutting edge design, you may consider our unique
black crystal awards.
Size of the award is determined by a few factors. If you plan to
present an award in front of a large audience, choose a larger piece - 8"e;
tall and up, so it will be seen from the podium. Smaller awards will work
better for a more intimate award ceremony. In addition, larger awards allow
for more personalization space. If you have an extensive verbiage, choose
a wider and taller award with a generous engraving area.
Choice of verbiage should reflect the nature of the award and your
corporate image. Your personalization text can be formal, conservative, informal, funny
or personal. Please read our personalization advice article for creative
personalization ideas.
