Turn a photo into a solid, hand-held keepsake. The 3D Crystal Photo Block is an optical-glass photo keepsake with your picture laser-engraved in three dimensions inside K9 crystal. You may also see this described as a glass photo block, a 3D glass photo, or a picture inside glass. It is engraved in depth rather than printed on a flat surface. Choose a classic rectangular block for a timeless desk piece, or a heart shape for a romantic anniversary or Valentine's gift. Pair either with an optional LED stand (a square base, or a circular base that rotates) and the engraving glows softly from within.
All dimensions listed as Width x Depth x Height.
Rectangular (4 sizes):
Heart (3 sizes):
There is no heart XL. For a five-figure group photo, choose the rectangular XL.
Five quick checks before you upload:
There is no fixed megapixel minimum. A well-lit original from a modern phone is normally plenty. Every uploaded photo is reviewed before production. If it needs work we may enhance it, or ask you for an alternative picture. If a photo holds more figures than the block can carry at full depth, it is engraved in 2D rather than 3D, which keeps the faces more readable at that size. Our guide to what photos work best for a 3D crystal covers this in detail.
Each piece is manufactured and laser-engraved to order from your uploaded photo, with 100,000+ happy customers worldwide. Every crystal is inspected before it ships.
Because each block is engraved to order, we cannot accept change-of-mind returns. If it arrives damaged, the engraving does not match the photo you uploaded, or there is a quality issue, message us at support@giftenova.com within 7 days of delivery and we will remake or refund.
There is no proof or preview step for 3D crystals, but every photo is reviewed before production, and we will contact you if it needs work. See whether you get a proof before a photo gift is printed across our range.
A Photo You Can Hold. More than decor, the 3D Crystal Photo Block holds a single moment inside a solid object you can pick up and turn toward the light. A considered choice for anniversaries, memorials and weddings.
Note: Photo quality drives engraving quality, so send the highest-quality original you have. Printed colors are not applicable; 3D crystal engravings are clear-and-white laser points by design. Keep the block out of long direct sunlight (can cause localized heat). Wipe with a dry microfiber cloth, with no liquids or solvents on the polished crystal.
We don't have a live visual mockup yet. Upload the clearest available original image; if additional information is required before production, Giftenova may contact you.
Manufacturing takes 3 to 5 business days after checkout (depth-file preparation plus laser engraving). Standard shipping is free within the U.S. and takes 2 to 6 business days. Express shipping is available at checkout for faster delivery. Order early for time-sensitive occasions.
Original, well-lit photos with clear faces and a clean background work best. Studio portraits, outdoor portraits, and wedding photos can suit the format when the subject is clear. Blurry, dark, or busy backgrounds reduce clarity. For heart shapes, portrait-oriented photos with subjects centered fit the curve better than wide landscape shots. Upload the clearest available original image; if additional information is required before production, Giftenova may contact you. Our guide on how resolution affects your print helps you check upfront.
Each block size carries a recommended figure range. If a photo holds more figures than the block can carry at full depth, it is engraved in 2D rather than 3D, which keeps the faces more readable at that size. Choosing a larger size, or cropping tighter, can keep the photo within the supported figure range for 3D engraving.
Both LED stands run on either batteries or USB power, so you can light the crystal anywhere without needing an outlet nearby. Either stand fits any crystal shape and size, stand choice is independent of whether you pick the rectangular block or the heart.
Both light the crystal from below so the engraving glows from within. The LED Stand has a square base and holds the crystal still. The Rotating LED Stand has a circular base and turns the crystal, so the engraving catches light from every angle as it moves.
The LED stands light in several colors, including white, warm white, blue, red and green, and the color can be changed on the stand itself, you are not choosing one at checkout, so the glow can match the room or the occasion whenever you like. The light color changes the mood of the piece without affecting the engraving itself, which is clear-and-white by design.
Because each block is engraved to order, we can't accept change-of-mind returns. If anything arrives damaged, the engraving fails to match the photo you uploaded, or there's a quality issue, message us at support@giftenova.com within 7 days and we'll remake or refund.
