Custom Crystal Pricing & Sizes by Shape
Custom crystal pricing varies by shape, since each shape uses a different amount of material and internal volume. Rectangle starts from $64, Diamond and Heart from $70, Iceberg from $210, and Notch from $250. Sizes range from small, desk-friendly options up to larger display-format pieces within each shape's own range - how to choose the right crystal size: small, large & custom covers the size side of this in more detail.
What's Included at Every Price Point
Regardless of shape or size, every order includes the same core package: a crystal engraved from solid K9 optical crystal, your choice of 2D or 3D engraving, free shipping, production within 24–48 hours, delivery in about 7 days, and a 30-day guarantee covering reprint or refund. Custom crystal pricing reflects the shape and size you choose, not a tiered service level - the quality and included services stay consistent across the entire price range.
What's Not Included by Default
An LED light base is the main add-on not bundled into custom crystal pricing - it's a separate accessory starting at $15, sold in six different styles. If the glowing display look matters to you, factor that into your total budget separately from the crystal's base price. Custom crystal pricing pages and product listings show the crystal's price alone, so it's easy to overlook the base as a separate line item if you're not specifically looking for it.
The Full Breakdown
| Shape | Starting Price | Typical Size Range | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rectangle | From $64 | Small to Large | Group photos, landscapes, first orders |
| Diamond | From $70 | Small to Large, compact | Modern, minimal single-subject pieces |
| Heart | From $70 | Small (3.15 × 1.57 × 2.76 in) to Large (5.0 × 11.0 × 13.0 in) | Romantic gifts, couples, anniversaries |
| Iceberg | From $210 | Larger range overall | Statement display pieces |
| Notch | From $250 | Largest range overall | Premium display, detail-heavy photos |
The starting price in this custom crystal pricing table reflects the smallest available size for that shape - choosing a larger size within the same shape's range increases the total beyond the listed starting figure. The size range column gives a general sense of scale rather than an exact number for every shape, since only Heart's exact dimensions are confirmed here; check each shape's individual product page for its precise current size options before ordering.
How Custom Sizing Affects Price
If none of the standard sizes fit what you need, custom sizing is available on request. Since a custom size is a made-to-order request rather than a fixed listed option, it's worth reaching out with your specific dimension rather than assuming a price ahead of time - custom crystal pricing for a non-standard size will depend on how it compares to the shape's existing size range.
Does Engraving Type Affect Price?
Engraving type - 2D or 3D is a selectable option on each product page, and pricing for each can vary by shape, so it's worth checking the specific product page rather than assuming both cost the same across every shape. Custom crystal pricing overall is driven primarily by shape and size, with engraving type as a secondary factor that's easy to check before finalizing an order.
Comparing Value Across Shapes
Since engraving quality is consistent across every shape - all five use the same K9 crystal and laser process, custom crystal pricing differences come down to how much material and display presence you're getting, not a difference in craftsmanship. A $64 Rectangle and a $250 Notch are made with the same care; the Notch is simply larger. This is worth keeping in mind if you're comparing custom crystal pricing across shapes and wondering whether the more expensive option is "better" rather than just bigger.
What Affects Your Final Total
Beyond the crystal's base price, your final total depends on size selection within a shape, whether you add an LED light base, and whether you're requesting a custom size outside the standard range. Free shipping applies regardless of these choices, so the crystal, size, and any add-ons are the only variables in the final price.
Budgeting for a Gift vs a Display Piece
If you're buying a crystal as a gift, custom crystal pricing at the smaller end - Rectangle, Diamond, or Heart, all starting under $75 usually covers most gifting occasions without needing to consider the larger, pricier shapes. If the goal is a standalone display piece meant to make a visual statement on a mantel or reception desk, budgeting toward Iceberg or Notch, and factoring in an LED base on top, gives a more realistic total for that kind of purchase.
FAQ
Does custom crystal pricing include shipping?
Yes, every order includes free shipping regardless of shape, size, or whether you add an LED base, so shipping cost isn't a separate line item to budget for.
Is a custom size always more expensive than a standard size?
Not necessarily, but pricing for a custom size is handled on request rather than listed upfront, since it depends on how the requested dimension compares to the shape's existing standard range.
Does the price change if I choose 3D engraving instead of 2D?
It can, depending on the shape, check the specific product page for current pricing on each engraving type, since this isn't uniform across all five shapes.
What's the cheapest way to order a custom 3D crystal photo?
A Rectangle at its smallest standard size, without an LED base, is the most affordable starting point at $64, since it avoids the higher material cost of larger shapes and the added cost of a light base accessory.
