Crystal Obelisk Awards: Recognize Top-Performing Employees
Obelisk and Pillar Awards
The obelisk has marked achievement for thousands of years, from the monuments of ancient Egypt to the Washington Monument. That history is part of why it still reads as a serious, lasting honor. Its height gives you a clean vertical face for a name, a date, and a logo, and it makes a strong statement on a desk or a shelf.
People reach for an obelisk or pillar award when the moment calls for something that feels permanent: leadership recognition, years of service, and top-performer honors. The tall form also photographs well on a stage, so it works for awards handed out in front of a room.
Materials, Sizes, and Engraving
We make obelisk and pillar awards in optic crystal for the premium end, in glass at a friendlier price, and in acrylic when you need volume for a program. Heights run from a few inches for a desk piece up to display size for a headline award. Engraving is free, and sandblasted etching holds fine detail on the tall face, so a logo and a few lines of text read cleanly. You approve a proof before we make it.
