Optical Crystal Optical Crystal:
Among the finest of all crystal, our collection in made from the highest quality raw materials available resulting in absolutely clear and flawless crystal. Optical crystal is manufactured in large sheets then pressed under enormous pressure to ensure it has no bubbles or distortions. Our optical crystal awards are made from the same materials used in camera lenses, NASA telescopes and high-end visual equipment. Unlike Lead Crystal, optical crystal is lead free which is perfect for all kinds of engraving methods though we choose to sand blast, which provides the highest quality etch. Each piece is hand polished and beveled to perfection to achieve a mystical refraction. Clear, black, blue, pink, green and amber accents are also used in our Optical Crystal Awards and Gifts collection for a more contemporary design.

PATE DE VERRE PATE DE VERRE - THE LOST-WAX TECHNIQUE
The creation of items in pate de verre through the "lost-wax" technique is a time-consuming process requiring abundant skills. The results of the successful application of these skills are true works of art, possessing a unique translucency, texture and substance, which can not be achieved with blown glass or molded glass. A contemporary revival of this French ancient technique is used to emphasize in bas-relief and incredible detail; that is combined with pure geometric optic crystal for a unique designer collection of thematic pieces designed for personalized awards and corporate gifts.

Variation in color, size and finish is inherent. In a melted state after the ingredients have been combined at a high temperature and liquefy the batch, it is then allowed to cool until it is plastic and shapeable. Bubbles and flow lines are considered acceptable.

acrylic Acrylic:
Our selection of Premier Acrylic Awards is an economical choice and has many of the same characteristics as Glass and Crystal awards. Acrylic is shatter-resistant and provides a clean and professional frosted appearance. The advantage of Acrylic material is that it can be transformed into virtually any shape or color. The softness of the material allows the laser engraving technique to yield sharper and more vivid images than laser engraving on glass/crystal. The range of creative expression is virtually unlimited.

*Due to the soft nature of the material, Acrylic items are more vulnerable to light scratches or flaw lines.
