Frosted Glass Medal

A frosted crystal medal does not proclaim itself with bright reflections or sharp flashes. Instead it seduces you with a hazy, fuzzy glow that more resembles water sunlight than shiny glass. This is how we have treated this piece, starting with a clear K9 crystal block and changing the surface into something more subdued, more refined.

The rectangular face measures 18x25cm, providing ample room for text and design. It is 3cm thick and therefore has a physical heft that thinner awards lack. It weighs 1.2kg, heavy enough to feel meaty in the hand. More often than not, we hear from buyers that this weight changes recipients' reaction to the award, moving the perception from "something nice" to "something earned."

The frosted finish is achieved by a controlled process to create a uniformly matte surface. It remains clean looking after use, unlike polished crystal that shows every fingerprint and reflection. It has a fine grain that you can feel more than see – smooth to the touch.

Frosted crystal is different from polished surfaces when it comes to engraving. Lines appear precise without the sharp contrast that can at times feel sharp on clear glass. The net effect is quieter, more integrated. This makes it suitable for settings where a more muted aesthetic is desirable - professional workplaces, academic institutions and formal ceremonies.

The size 18x25cm is ideal for complex engraving layouts or simple centered designs. The frosty background makes anything engraved readable from a distance.

We see this medal used in many contexts. The subdued look is a good choice for service anniversary, educational achievement, professional certification and organizational recognition programs. It fits neatly on desks or shelves due to its rectangular shape, and it weighs only 1.2kg, so it won't move around when you touch or shift it.

Customization features include layout and content, engraving depth. You can personalize the cut even more by changing the shape, the size, or the edges. The frosted surface is also well suited to color elements when the design requires it.

Each piece is made individually and has its own production process. Crystal selection precedes the start of finishing, considering internal clarity and consistency. The frosted surface is made in a controlled environment to make sure that the coverage is uniform. We check the material, we check the finish, we check the engraving. We do quality checks at every stage. We don't let problems get to the final piece.

Packaging is with protective wraps so that contact with the surface is avoided during shipping. International orders will have extra corner bracing to prevent stress at the edges. Samples are available for review prior to placing bulk orders.
