The Elegance of Crystal Plaques



Maybe you are not a Hollywood movie star, maybe you are not a Fortune 500 CEO but can you imagine your name on a crystal plaque reading: Best Mom Ever? That’s the prize I aim for everyday and my fictional accolade is always my name ‘’Monica Kroos’’ carved elegantly on a crystal plaque. All kidding aside, there are several materials on which one could write practically anything as long as the character count would fit in the space of the piece.

Perhaps the most common materials on which people write are: wood, metal, crystal and marble. They are all very elegant and perhaps the least durable is the glass option but there is an intangible aspect to its fragility that makes me choose it above the rest of the pack. Crystal is also shapeable which means that you can mold glass into many things. The most common examples are statues, sculptures and bottles.

Whenever the issue of vulnerability arises, a lot of people particularly elderly ladies will recommend the super glue option, however, in our modern times you can opt for a glass replacement company. They can certainly replicate your piece and make it look identical. Always remember the sentimental value of awards or name tags; they are given to you at one time in specific (usually once in a lifetime so even if you know you can have them replaced you certainly want to keep the original one for the sake of uniqueness).
Another thing I love about crystal plaques or sculptures is that they are very light and therefore portable. The fact that they are so light also allows the owner to have them hung on almost any wall without fear of them breaking. Next time you’re vying for the employee of the month award, make sure you ask for a crystal plaque, that whole picture and name label is pretty played out.
