FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

FAQs

What are Crushed Glass Photo Prints?

Printed on archival fine art paper, then hand-embellished with multiple different special blends of imported European Crushed Glass Diamond Dust, each piece from CrystalPrints will turn your memories into Timeless Art.

GlitterGlass is incredibly delicate & is considered one of the world’s first glitters. It’s often referred to as Diamond Dust for its strikingly beautiful shine and reflectiveness.

The Glitter is created from a seven-step process, which starts with coating the glass in pure silver & then heating to extreme temperatures, before grinding it into the different sizes you see on our unique prints.

No two prints will be the same. Ever.

Is This Just Glitter On A Photo?

Absolutely not. These are archival fine art paper prints hand embellished using 3 - 6 different small batch proprietary blends of European crushed glass. Please read about Sparkle Art HERE

Do You Only Do Wedding Photos?

I embellish "Life Moments" including anything from Weddings to Holiday Gatherings, from Engagement Photos to Quince, from Baby Shoots and Showers to Adored Pets and everything in between. I can also take your video and pull out a frame you love. More on all this HERE.

How Quickly Can You Turn These Around?

Though more time is always the icing on the cake,  I can complete custom pieces generally within a week to 10 days.  It also depends on complexity and size of the print.

Do You Ship?

Absolutely - We Ship Worldwide

Do You Offer Additional Customization?

Always. We work together on anything you would like, from adding text to it, to removing something you don't want in the photo. I am both the digital artist as well as sparkle artist, so the only limitation really.. is your imagination!

What Are The Four Styles You Offer?

--Full Color is just what it says.  I will keep the color and embellish whichever components will look the best!
--Black and White is high contrast and very good for Wedding/Bridal or other emotional moments.
--Color Pop is my signature style, where I convert your photo to black and white, and then choose 1-2 colors within the image to keep in color. They won't always be the ones that are embellished, but add additional dimension to the print.
--Diamond Prints are full coverage in crushed glass and is best with larger subjects and close ups to preserve detail. Also most popular with Black and White based prints (Color Pop OK too).

What Is the Ordering Process?
