How are Tyrone Crystal awards made?

Tyrone Crystal awards are typically made through a combination of glass shaping and engraving techniques. The base material, often clear crystal or high-grade glass, is cut and polished to achieve a clean finish. The next stage involves engraving, which can be done using sandblasting or laser methods. Sandblasting uses fine abrasive particles to etch designs into the surface, creating a frosted effect. Laser engraving allows for precise detail, including logos and small text. After engraving, the piece may be cleaned and inspected before packaging. Some awards include additional elements such as coloured panels or metal fittings. The process allows for consistent quality across multiple items, which is useful for events requiring identical trophies or plaques.
