We all have been captivated by the dazzle of crystal, the way it plays with light, the charm it exudes when you hold it. It’s no wonder that crystal awards are highly sought after, especially for grand occasions such as Leadership awards, Founder awards etc.
Ever wondered what sets Pinnacle’s Crystal Awards apart from what else is available out there? Well, a Crystal Award is just another crystal award, unless it is crafted by Pinnacle. 😄 For a whopping 23 years, Pinnacle has been crafting and engraving Crystal Awards for the true winners among us.
Here are 5 reasons why you should buy crystal awards from Pinnacle –
Perfect Engraving:
No more squinting to decipher smudgy letters! Pinnacle promises absolutely smudge-free engraving. No matter how intricate or detailed the font gets, each stroke is well defined and engraved perfectly.
At Pinnacle, we don’t use laser engraving, like some suppliers do these days because it is fast and convenient. Instead, our crystal awards are crafted by etching, the traditional way. This may take longer, but the result is exceptional clarity in text and artwork.

Moreover, the Pinnacle advantage is that our in-house design team is totally in sync with the capability of the etching machine, as well as the artisans.
So it’s a well coordinated effort for us and a perfectly engraved crystal award for you.
Clear Optic Crystal, No Yellow Tinges:
Pinnacle uses K9 A-grade optic crystals, ensuring your award shines with the best brilliance and optic clarity in the market. This quality of crystal is lead free, extremely durable, and it does not become yellow or discoloured with time.
Optic crystal is a tough and clear crystal often used to craft lenses for cameras and telescopes due to its exceptional clarity and high refractive index. In simpler terms, it’s a highly polished material where every cut and bevel sparkles, giving it a radiant appearance. Additionally, it’s fairly resistant to scratches and chips, ensuring durability over time.
So you get a high clarity crystal award whose brilliance remains intact for years to come.
Perfectly Polished and Beveled Edges:
Dull edges, uneven bevels – you won’t find these in Pinnacle’s crystal awards. Every tiny facet is polished with precision, reflecting light and making the trophy dazzle.
This is the most labour-intensive phase in the entire process. This meticulous and intricate work is performed entirely by hand, demanding a steady hand to achieve flawlessly bevelled and polished edges. This manual precision is crucial for us in the production process.
This enhances the aesthetic appeal of the final product, ensuring that each edge is perfectly crafted for a refined and elegant finish.
No Glue Marks:
Tacky glue marks have no place on your prestigious award. Pinnacle uses high-grade industrial glue that not only holds everything together seamlessly but also leaves no patchy marks behind.
At Pinnacle, we use more than a dozen types of glue, depending on the kind of material we are working with. So the glue for sticking resin awards will be different from the glue for sticking crystal awards.
The visibility of a glue mark depends on the quality of the finishing of each piece. Before we even apply the glue, there’s a significant amount of preparation involved. This careful preparation is crucial to ensure a seamless finish. Consequently, we may reject certain designs if we believe they aren’t practical or won’t achieve the desired aesthetic appeal.
So your award stays classy, glue-free, and ready to be showcased with pride.
Artisanal Engraving:
With an in-house manufacturing facility where the engraving is done, we are amongst the few award makers in India that offer stage carving on crystal awards often also referred as multi stage engraving or deep carving. That means your award is engraved in layers, giving your artwork depth, making it come alive. This style of engraving needs highly skilled craftsmanship, with an eye for detail like an artist and a steady hand.
We are blessed to have highly skilled craftsmen in our team who have been engraving on glass and crystal awards for decades. This ensures every artwork our design team creates is beautifully engraved on crystal awards.
