Beyond Memories: your own photo laser-engraved inside a crystal

Shopping at Beyond Memories? See all current Beyond Memories promo codes and deals, checked regularly.

Beyond Memories is an American studio that turns a photo into a 3D keepsake. You upload a picture, place it in the crystal shape you've picked, and a laser sets thousands of tiny points inside optical glass, never on the surface, so the image appears to float in the middle. Everything is designed, engraved and hand-inspected at its studio in Henderson, Nevada, and it has been making photo crystals for well over a decade.

It suits anyone looking for a personal gift that will sit on a shelf for years: anniversaries, new babies, weddings, a family pet, or a memorial for someone who's gone. Before you order, the product page shows you how the photo will look turned in 3D, and every order then goes through a photo review and design proof by the team. Boxes go out with no receipt, invoice or prices inside, which helps when the crystal is being sent straight to the person it's for.

What's worth a look

These six were on the homepage when we checked. Prices are "from", as they rise with the size you choose.

The Rectangle from $65 is the simplest starting point and works for most portrait or group photos. The Heart from $79 is the obvious one for anniversaries and Valentine's Day, while the Prestige from $129 is a larger, faceted piece for a bigger occasion. There are also cubes, an arc, a candle holder and a "jeweled" edition in the full range.

If you'd rather give something to carry or hang, the heart-shaped necklace and keychain both start at $39, and the heart ornament at $44 is a good fit for a first Christmas. The site also sells add-ons such as gift bags, cards and a cleaning cloth.

Good to know before you buy

Pick the photo carefully. The image is made of points of light inside clear glass, so a sharp, well-lit photo where faces fill most of the frame will turn out best; the team reviews each picture and sends it through design proofing. The homepage says crystals are made in one to two business days at the studio, with delivery time then depending on the shipping method you choose, so leave a little time before a birthday or holiday.

Current offers

We don't list any Beyond Memories codes at the moment. When we checked, the site offered a 10% code by email to new subscribers, and there's a "Gifts under $50" section for smaller budgets.

How to save more

• Sign up for the 10% code before your first order, and use it on the larger piece rather than an add-on.
• Choose the smallest size that suits the photo: the "from" price is for the smallest option.
• Order early for Christmas so you can pick standard shipping rather than paying for a faster service.
