How long does a custom 3D crystal photo block take to ship?

Production takes 2-5 business days (3D model conversion plus laser engraving). Standard shipping adds 5-8 business days; express (UPS) adds 1-4. Order early for time-sensitive occasions.

What kind of photo works best for a 3D crystal photo block?

High-resolution, well-lit photos with clear faces and a clean background work best. Studio portraits, outdoor portraits, and wedding photos all engrave beautifully. Blurry, dark, or busy backgrounds reduce clarity. For heart shapes, portrait-oriented photos with subjects centered fit the curve better than wide landscape shots. We send a preview proof before engraving.

Why does each size have a figure recommendation?

Laser engraving captures a finite number of points. When you fit more figures into a small block, each one gets fewer points and less detail. The recommended figure range keeps every face sharp. Exceeding it means we engrave the photo in 2D instead of 3D to preserve readability.

Does the LED stand require batteries?

No, the LED stand is USB-powered. A standard USB-C cable ships in the box, and it works with any phone adapter, laptop port, or USB wall plug. The heart shape ships with a stand cut specifically for the heart base; the rectangular block ships with a straight-edge stand.

Can I return a custom 3D crystal photo block?

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 approved proof, or there's a quality issue, message us at support@giftenova.com within 7 days and we'll remake or refund.

Product Features

True 3D Laser Engraving: Your photo is converted into a 3D model and laser-etched as millions of tiny points deep inside the crystal, not printed on the surface. Will never fade, peel, or wear off.
Two Shapes, One Craft: Pick a rectangular block for a classic keepsake or a heart for a romantic gift. Same K9 crystal, same 3D engraving, two very different moods.
Premium K9 Optical Crystal: High-clarity, lead-free optical crystal with polished, bevel-free edges. Heavier and clearer than standard glass, with a refractive index that makes every engraving glow in ambient light.
Optional LED Light Stand: A wooden stand with built-in LEDs illuminates the crystal from below, making the engraving glow against the grain. USB-powered, warm-white light, ships with a USB-C cable.
Optional Engraving Text: Add a name, date, or short dedication (up to 60 characters) engraved beside or below the 3D image in a crisp serif font.

A Photo You Can Hold. More than decor, the 3D Crystal Photo Block preserves a single frozen moment inside an object that feels permanent. A powerful choice for anniversaries, memorials, weddings, and the kind of gift that gets picked up, turned in the light, and loved for years.

Note: Photo quality drives engraving quality. We recommend images taken within the last five years at 2 MP or higher. 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 – no liquids or solvents on the polished crystal.
