The difference between marble and stone
Of all the award materials we offer, marble and stone are ones of the highest class. Marble is a type of stone and is known for its veins, or the streaks of color running through the polished slab. Other popular stones include granite, slate, and more. Perhaps the most important aspect of stone is its weight. Its heaviness portrays an image of great achievement for the recipient. Even a small element, like the base or back panel of an award, can add that extra oomph needed to impress.
Our stone varieties pair well with other materials like glass and crystal. Stone and crystal work beautifully together by creating a very elegant effect. Also, the substantial weight of both materials makes trophies and awards of great significance. Consider pairing crystal and stone for custom deal toys or building replicas.
The different types of stone trophies
Stone is versatile in its many varieties, colors, and functions. From plaques to bases, all stone trophies reflect great individuality and substance.
Stone plaques
Stone plaques are strong and striking. They elevate any sophisticated concept and offer precise personalization. By engraving directly into the stone, you honor the recipient and the one-of-a-kind nature of the stone itself.
Marble plaques
Marble plaques commemorate special achievements while showcasing the remarkable veins and structure of premium pieces. Presenting marble plaques shows others that you deeply value the importance of high-quality recognition.
Marble trophies
A marble custom trophy celebrates champions with great class. Whether shaped into an obelisk or a prism, marble recognition pieces feel great when handled and presented. The weight of these pieces makes recipients feel the positive impact of their accomplishments.
Granite awards
Granite awards make excellent corporate awards, leadership awards, and more. Granite awards typically feature unique speckles characteristic of this type of stone. You can use granite as the main material of your design, or you can opt for a granite base or backdrop.
Marble trophy bases
Each piece of marble has its own unique print, giving each trophy base its own special character. What better way to celebrate the best with a trophy that can’t be copied? Additionally, when making building replicas that feature marble, we like to work with the same marble used in the actual building’s design. This way, we connect the two in a personal way.
Stone deal toys
Deal toys made from stone portray excellent prestige and importance for your sales team. You can fabricate the entire recognition piece out of stone or marble, or you can opt for a smaller feature. For example, the Ritz Carlton San Francisco team created a deal toy with a white marble base to reflect the celebrated property. Also, Houlihan Lokey paired a back panel of company branded granite with exquisite crystal.

A properly engraved stone trophy highlights the recipient and the program. At Cristaux, we have many tools that allow us to personalize each piece with precision and care.
- Laser engrave and color fill recipient information

- Affix a name plate with digitally printed details
Customizing stone trophies is the final, all-important touch for special awards. With our help, you can go that extra mile to ensure a successful recognition program.
