Bemaystar Crystal Photo Ornament Review: Too Cheap?
A clear crystal ornament engraved with a photo or text you send. The cheapest pick in this guide, with a few things to know before ordering.
Mostly yes, as a low-cost way to put a face on the tree. The crystal catches the tree lights and the engraved image stays sharp [1]. Check the size and price on the page before you order, because the lowest price may be the smallest option.

Pros and cons
- Engraved image, not a color print
- Price varies by size option
- Crystal breaks if dropped
A photo set in crystal
Paper photo ornaments curl and fade. This one engraves your photo or text into clear crystal [1], so it keeps a sharp image year after year.
When the tree lights hit it, the clear crystal glows, which suits a white or gold tree.
Text works too. A couple's names and wedding date, or a family name and the year, engrave cleanly and read well on clear crystal [1].
Which photos work best
Engraving shows the image in one frosted tone, not in color. Simple photos with one or two faces and a plain background come out best.
Busy group shots with small faces lose detail at ornament size. For a wedding photo, a close portrait of the couple works better than the whole wedding party.
Crop the photo close before you upload it, so the faces fill most of the frame. The seller works with what you send.
Bright daylight photos engrave better than indoor shots under warm lamps.
Price, size and glass
The low price on the page may apply to the smallest option, so check the size and the final price on the listing before you order [1].
It is also crystal, which can chip or break on a hard floor. Hang it high on the tree and pack it in soft paper after the holidays.
Personalized items also take extra days to make, so order well before the busy weeks of December.
Pairing it as a gift
It is cheap enough to order one for each grandparent with the same family photo.
From this guide, it pairs with the Glitzby Baby's First Christmas Wooden Block Ornament for new parents, or the Soul Décor First Christmas Together Photo Ornament if you want a color version of the same couple photo.
Keep the original photo file handy before you order, since the upload step is where most of the quality is won or lost.
FAQ
Can you put any photo on the Bemaystar crystal ornament?
The listing says you can add your favorite photo or text [1]. Clear, close photos work best, since engraving shows the image in one tone. Group shots with small faces and dark photos lose detail. Text such as names and a date is the safest option [1]
