Four equal sides and your image in the middle. The square glass block gives the picture the same space all round, so the eye goes straight to the faces, whether it is a close-up of a grandchild, the dog on the sofa or the bride and groom.
Why a square?
The shape is calm and clean and suits a desk, a shelf or a windowsill. Many of our most loved pictures are portraits, and the square format means the image is neither squeezed nor lost in empty space.

What happens to your photo
Once you have uploaded it, one of our designers goes through the picture. The background is removed, the image is placed in the block and depth is added, so the figures stand out in 3D. Finally the HD laser engraves the image inside the crystal glass, and the surface stays completely smooth. If your picture is not ready yet, you can choose to send it another way.
Small choices that make it personal
Text: names, a date or a greeting of up to 300 characters.
Light base: a standard or a luxury light base that makes the image glow.
Background: keep the background of your photo if something important is in it.
Product proof: see and approve a proof before we engrave.
