What Are 3D Crystals?

3D crystals are more than keepsakes, they’re timeless works of art. In this guide, we explain what they’re made of, why K9 optical crystal is the best material, how to care for your crystal, and why these pieces make the perfect personalized gift for any occasion.

What Are 3D Crystals?


A 3D crystal is a high-quality optical crystal block that holds a photo or design engraved inside of it, not on the surface.

Using advanced laser technology, your flat 2D photo is converted into a three-dimensional model.

The laser then engraves thousands of microscopic points inside the crystal to recreate the image with depth, detail, and realism.

Unlike a regular photo frame, 3D crystals can be viewed from multiple angles, giving the impression that your subject is suspended inside the crystal itself.

What Are They Made Of?


Our crystals are crafted from K9 optical crystal, also known as K9 glass. This premium material is known for:

  • Exceptional clarity and transparency – no bubbles or distortions.
  • Durability – scratch-resistant and strong, built to last for generations.
  • Brilliance – refracts light beautifully, especially when paired with an LED light base.

K9 crystal is widely used in high-end optics, chandeliers, and precision instruments, making it the ideal choice for preserving your memories.

WHO WE CREATE FOR

We create for everyone — spouses, parents, pet lovers, best friends — anyone who wants to hold on to what matters. From joyful milestones to quiet tributes, our keepsakes help people say: “I love you,” “I remember,” or simply, “You mean everything.”

How to Clean Your 3D Crystal


Cleaning your crystal is simple and helps maintain its brilliance:

  • Use a microfiber cloth to gently wipe away dust or fingerprints.
  • Dampen the cloth with plain water or glass cleaner if needed (never submerge your crystal in water).
  • Avoid abrasives or harsh chemicals, as they may scratch or dull the surface.
  • For crystals with a light base, clean the base separately with a soft cloth.

With proper care, your crystal will remain as beautiful as the day you received it.
