This kind of customized trophy is usually relatively large, often with two big ears. These characteristics They are all inherited from the evolution of the Love Cup. They are often seen in major competitions and are also relatively conservative and safe.
When we need to order customized trophies, the choice of size is one of the important considerations. In addition to affecting the weight, if it is too large, it will cause trouble for the winners’ handling and storage, and if it is too small, it will appear too petty. Therefore, Choosing the proper size is very important when ordering a custom crystal trophy.
1. Crystal trophy size
There is no fixed standard size for trophies depending on the shape and manufacturer, but they can be roughly divided into the following sizes: small trophies about 18 cm high, medium trophies about 25 cm high, large trophies about 28 cm high, special trophies The large trophy is about 34 cm high.
2. Weight of crystal trophy
Generally, the mass of the K9 artificial crystal used in custom-made crystal trophies is about 2.56-2.66 grams per cubic centimeter. As shown in the figure below, the height of 25 centimeters is about the level of a medium-sized trophy, and a weight close to two kilograms is more acceptable to ordinary people. The weight and size of the crystal trophy are generally recommended to order customized crystal trophies, but of course, customized sizes can be customized according to customer needs.
3. Dimensions of famous trophies
(1) Academy Awards
Commonly known as the Golden Man Award, it is issued by the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to recognize and reward outstanding achievements in American films. This award trophy is commonly known as the Little Golden Man. The trophy is 13.5 inches (34.29 cm) high and weighs 8.5 pounds (about 3.85 kg). The statuette is made of tin-antimony-copper alloy polished, then plated with 10K gold leaf, then finely ground, plated with 24K gold leaf, and coated with luminescent paint on the outer layer.
(2) World Cup Championship Trophy
The World Cup Champions Trophy currently in use, nicknamed the “Hercules Cup”, is the second generation of the World Cup Cup trophy designed and used. Designed by Italian designer Silvio Gazzaniga. The height of the Hercules Cup is 36.8 cm and the weight is 6.1 kg. The Hercules trophy is made of 18K gold. The diameter of the base is 13.1 cm. It is made of two layers of green malachite. The main shape is two Hercules holding the earth with both hands.
Artificial crystal is glass with high lead content, so it is also called high lead glass and lead crystal glass. In general glass, mainly silicon dioxide, adding a certain proportion of lead oxide can be made into artificial crystal, and it has high brightness and transparency. It is very similar to natural crystal and can be used to create custom crystal trophies and other crafts.
1. Material characteristics of crystal trophy trophy
Generally, glass with a lead oxide content of more than 24% is called artificial crystal. The chemical properties at this time are in the best state. Compared with ordinary glass, the light transmittance is better (more than 90%). ) The hardness is higher, the wear resistance is higher, the refractive index is larger; it can transmit more colors in the spectrum, the specific gravity is larger, and the hand feel is heavier.
2. Crystal trophy trophy material use
High-lead glass can be produced into high-grade lead glass handicrafts and customized crystal trophies through the process of quenching, removing impurities, blowing, grinding and polishing, pondering and engraving, and the light can reflect colorful colors through pondering and carving. In ancient times, it was generally called Liuli.
3. Crystal trophy material standard
Glass has strict specifications in the world, Glass: that is, ordinary glass products. Crystal: High-lead glass, also known as crystal, is the guarantee of high-lead glass with a lead oxide content of 24%.
4. The difference between artificial crystal and natural crystal
Most of the artificial crystals supply the manufacture of crystal handicrafts, customized crystal trophies and other crystal gifts, with excellent decorative functions. The main components of artificial crystal and natural crystal are silicon dioxide, and high-purity silicon dioxide is called crystal. Natural crystal is quartz crystal, which is hexagonal columnar crystal. It is formed under high temperature and high pressure environment, and has extremely high hardness and strong refractive index.
(1) Inclusions
Pure crystals are transparent and colorless mineral crystals, but there are very few natural crystals that are completely free of impurities. Most natural crystals contain natural inclusions, such as cotton wool-like impurities, stone patterns, air bubbles, etc. Artificial crystal is made of quartz sand through a certain process, and is manufactured by fine cutting and grinding technology. The crystal is transparent and free of impurities, which makes up for the lack of impurities in natural crystal, and is more suitable for making customized crystal trophies.
(2) Color
The artificial crystal, especially the colored artificial crystal, has an average color and is therefore suitable for making customized crystal trophy gifts. Natural crystals are extremely difficult to generate naturally, and the color of each place is average, and there are color differences when they are generated. And it is very obvious on citrine. The yellow of citrine is a part of the color of the inclusions radiating to the whole crystal, not the whole crystal is yellow.
(3) Using refraction
One of the special features of natural crystals and artificial crystals is that they are different from natural crystals, which have birefringence characteristics. If you put a hair under the natural crystal, you will see that the hair in the crystal has a double image when you look at the crystal. Crystal balls with a diameter of more than 4 cm will be easier to compare.
(4) Lighting
The cracked surface of natural crystal has a variety of light colors, which are emitted from the inside out, while the light on the cut surface of artificial crystal is only obtained after adding lead oxide, and it will only appear on the surface.
