So you have arrived. In this sense arrived in terms of career or some personal goal of a milestone achievement and you want to commemorate the moment by buying something special, something personal. Some people celebrate success by having parties or buying something as some sort of a pat on the back for themselves. Some people buy something to make the memory last forever not only for them but for others. And this is where the role of personalized glasses comes in.
A personalized glass is actually a drinking apparatus, a drinking glass personalized not only in shape but also in terms of design. The latter is usually the most common in that monograms and other designs etched or engraved on the glass surface.
Etchings of monograms are usually done by a process called hand engraving. Literally your monogram or initials are engraved by hand to achieve a clearer and deeper cut into the monogram. Other designs like corporate logos can also be done to personalize items like drinking glasses done through a form of fine sandblasting. This is called satin etching or satin printing.
But personalizing your success on your drinking glass does not stop there. The decision has to go further on really putting a mark on your achievement. Apart from choosing what type of etching you need to be done, the next decision will be to choose what type of glass you will etch onto. And the two main choices for this is will it be crystal or plain glass. Definitely the first choice is the best but it will also cost you.
Crystal glasses are more expensive than ordinary glass since they have a unique ability to disperse light to make a small rainbow when hit with light. They also can play a musical note when their edges are slightly wet and you rub your fingers around the edge.
Whatever your choice for your goblet of success, it will definitely be something to showcase to the world something that reflects your achievements and yourself.
