Differences Between 2D and 3D Crystal Photo Gifts

When choosing a custom crystal gift, both 2D and 3D options offer a unique way to preserve cherished memories. Here’s a breakdown of the key differences between the two:

Viewing Experience

• 2D Crystal Gifts: Appear flat and capture both the subject and background in one layer.
• 3D Crystal Gifts: Offer a lifelike, dimensional effect when viewed from the side or at an angle, making the subject stand out within the crystal.

Ideal Use

• 2D Crystal Gifts: Best for preserving full scenes, including both portraits and backgrounds.
• 3D Crystal Gifts: Perfect for portraits, where the background is typically removed to focus on the subject.

Cost

• 2D Crystal Gifts: More affordable because they do not require 3D modeling, making the process simpler and quicker.
• 3D Crystal Gifts: Slightly more expensive due to the need for 3D modeling and intricate laser engraving.

Processing & Shipping Time

• 2D Crystal Gifts: Faster processing due to the elimination of 3D modeling, making them a quicker option for urgent orders.
• 3D Crystal Gifts: Takes more time due to the extra step of creating a 3D model, leading to slightly longer processing times.

Whether you choose 2D or 3D, both options transform your favorite photo into a personalized keepsake that will last a lifetime.
