Ordering a personalised 3D photo crystal from Incrystals takes less than five minutes: choose your shape and size, upload your photo, add an optional engraved message, and place your order. Our team does the rest — enhancing the image for free, sending you a preview by email, and dispatching the finished crystal in 1–2 working days from our UK workshop. Here is a step-by-step guide so you know exactly what to expect.
What are the steps for ordering a personalised crystal?
- Choose your crystal shape and size. Browse our range of 3D photo crystals — cubes, hearts, rectangles and keyrings — and select the one that suits the occasion and the recipient.
- Upload your photo. Any clear photo will work. We accept digital files from your phone, computer or email. Our free image enhancement service will optimise it before engraving.
- Add optional engraved text. You can include a name, date or short personal message at no extra cost. Enter this during checkout.
- Place your order. Our team receives your order and begins enhancing the image immediately.
- Approve your free image preview. We email you a digital preview of exactly how the finished crystal will look. You can approve it or request adjustments — nothing is engraved until you are happy.
- Dispatch in 1–2 working days. Once approved, the crystal is laser-engraved in our UK workshop, quality-checked, gift-boxed and dispatched in 1–2 working days.
What photo gives the best result?
A clear, well-lit photo of one or two subjects facing the camera gives the strongest 3D engraving result. That said, our free image enhancement service can rescue older prints, lower-resolution phone photos and even ultrasound scan images. If you are unsure whether your photo is suitable, send it over — our team will tell you honestly before any engraving takes place.
How do I choose the right crystal shape?
- Rectangle or cube — the classic choice for a portrait photo. Works beautifully for individual and couple portraits, pet photos and family shots.
- Heart-shaped crystal — our best-selling shape for romantic occasions, Mother’s Day and memorial gifts.
- Crystal keyring — the most accessible price point and a great everyday keepsake for someone who wants to carry a photo with them.
