Selected work

Made to the client’s artwork

Most transaction pieces carry confidential deal names, so the pieces shown here are ones cleared for publication.

Crystal logo sculptureA brand mark cut in optical crystal, colour-filled and mounted on a bevelled black crystal base. The construction behind most corporate deal toys.
Lucite embedmentA branded object sealed inside clear lucite above a crystal base. The usual route when the deal is best told by the client's own product.
Solid crystal sculptureA sports car cut, polished and engraved in solid crystal on a black base, made to the client's artwork for a corporate conference.

Photographs of comparable pieces are sent on request with the quotation. Ask for photographs.

Materials we cut

The material decides the weight, the engraving method and the freight, which is why we name it before anything else.

MaterialWhat it suits
Optical crystalLead-free optical glass, cut, polished and laser-engraved inside the block. Takes colour fill, printed logos and bonded multi-part shapes. The heaviest and clearest option, and the usual choice for a desk piece.
LuciteCast acrylic. An object, coin, document or printed insert can be sealed inside it, which is how most embedment deal toys are made. Lighter than glass to ship.
Acrylic glassCut and polished acrylic sheet with printed or engraved faces. Suits flat tombstone shapes and larger runs where weight and freight matter.
Metal and crystalEngraved metal plates, emblems or figures set into or onto a crystal body. Used where the deal name changes but the piece stays the same.

Questions we are asked

Deal toys, answered

What is a financial tombstone?

A financial tombstone is a commemorative piece for a completed transaction. It may also be called a deal toy, deal lucite or deal tombstone.

Crystal or lucite, which should we choose?

Choose a material based on the design, required finish, quantity and intended presentation. Include those details in your request so the quotation can confirm suitable options.

What do you need from us to start?

Share a non-confidential product or design brief, quantity, material preference, required date and delivery destination. Share transaction names or artwork only if you are authorised to disclose them.

How long do design and production take?

Design takes 1 to 3 days. Production takes 5 to 7 days after you approve the design. Include your required date and delivery destination so the quotation can confirm the schedule.

Is there a minimum order quantity?

No. There is no minimum order quantity. One piece or a full deal team set is quoted the same way.

How is the price set, and how does it compare?

The price per piece is set below what leading US suppliers charge for the same piece. Tell us your budget and we tailor the design, material and size to fit it.

Can you design to our budget?

Yes. Send a budget range with the brief. We tailor the design to that budget and show the options in the quotation, with a free design proof before you commit.

Skip the middleman. Pay the factory price.

Firms such as Altrum and other corporate-presence names buy their production from factories like ours. Crystal Century is that factory side: Premier Trophy Limited makes the pieces in Hong Kong and China and quotes you directly.

One fewer margin

Every reseller adds a mark-up. Ask any agency for the factory quote behind their price, then compare it with ours.

Talk to the maker

Artwork, size and timing changes reach the factory the same day, with no relay.

Quote first

You approve a written quotation before anything is produced.

Lowest price guarantee. Send a written like-for-like quotation from any other supplier or agency. We give you a better price on the same specification, or tell you plainly why we cannot.
