about crystal images

Luminart Limited specialises in creating everlasting images into crystal cubes.  The image is processed through the computer and output to a laser machine which engraves the image into a chosen crystal from our selection.

 

The image is engraved in the middle of the crystal (sub-surface).  The final image is made up of thousands of dots which are created when the laser focuses and makes tiny cracks in the crystal, creating the image.  The finished product is monotone.  Unlike a standard black and white photograph where the image is made up of black, white and grey tones, the crystal image is made up of purely one tone.  The tone produced by the laser is white.  Toning is created by more or less dots through different parts of the images.

 

Crystal images are forever.  They will never

deteriorate or fade.

 

We can create 3D portraits in crystal or we can create a permanent work of art with an existing 2D photograph.  We can add text and will endeavour to meet any special requests you may have.  We will create mock-ups for trophies and photographs with text, free of charge.

 

3D portraits are taken using a special 3D camera.  Unfortunately we are unable to transform 2D photo into a 3D photo.  2D images can be emailed to us and we will create your portrait for you.  Images are clear cut from the background to ensure maximum effect of the subjects.

 

We can create trophies and awards, and other corporate material such as promotional gifts and paperweights.

 

Check out our artworks page where you can choose from a wide selection of 3D graphics to have etched into a crystal.  We also have a raneg of 2D graphics and photographs.

 

All our crystals come in a black satin lined presentation box.

 

Your crystal block will be delivered back to you within 5 working days of receiving the order.  Express service is available and we can create a crystal for you, in as little as one hour, if necessary.  When you have your 3D portrait taken we can also usually process it for you while you wait.

We will replace any product damaged in the post.

3D portraits are unsuitable for children under the age of 5 years, because of movement.  If you wish to attempt a 3D portrait with a child younger than this, we can, however if it is unsuccessful we cannot give you a refund on the portrait.  We engrave a 2D photo for you instead.
