The trophy makes a moment permanent.

Some moments only happen once. And then the moment passes. But something remains.

Years later it still sits on their shelf. They pick it up and they are back in that room, on that day, being seen.

For what occasion?

Every award startswith someone who earned it.

  • A man at his fiftieth birthday party holding a gold award, friends applauding around him

    Milestone birthdays

    30th, 40th, 50th, 60th, 70th. The one gift they cannot buy themselves.

  • A woman at her retirement party holding a gold award, colleagues applauding around her

    Retirement and career

    Forty years of work deserves more than a card and a cake in the break room.

  • A couple smiling at their wedding table beside a gold trophy of the two of them dancing

    Weddings and anniversaries

    A gift for the couple that is still on the shelf at the tenth anniversary.

  • A runner lifting a gold trophy over her head as friends cheer and gold confetti falls

    Anything worth celebrating

    A promotion, a first marathon, a best friend, a team that pulled it off. If it deserves a toast, it deserves a trophy.

How it is made

From a phototo something permanent.

No 3D scan. No studio session. One ordinary photograph from your phone is enough to start.

The starting photograph: a dancer mid-turn on sunlit grass, a pink wrap trailing behind her
01  Photo

Full body, clear pose, good light. A phone photo is fine.

02  Sculpture

We recreate the photo as a detailed 3D sculpture. You see it and approve it before anything is made.

03  Gold trophy

3D printed, painted in three layers of gold, and mounted on a base with your engraved plate.

It starts with one photo. Send it and we will tell you straight away whether it will work, before you pay anything.

The process

Four steps. Nothing to figure out.

  1. 01

    Send us a photo

    Choose a clear photo of the person you want to honor. We will tell you straight away if it will work.

  2. 02

    We sculpt them

    We transform the photograph into a custom 3D sculpture, shaped by hand until it reads like them.

  3. 03

    You approve it

    You see the design before anything is produced. Ask for changes. Nothing prints until you say yes.

  4. 04

    We make and ship it

    Printed, finished in gold, engraved with your words, boxed and shipped free anywhere in the US.

Changing your mind

You can cancel for a full refund any time before you approve the sculpture. That is the whole window, and we think it is the fair one: approval is the last moment before this becomes a physical object made for one person.

After you approve, we start printing, finishing and engraving, and that takes several days of hand work on a piece with their name on it. It cannot be resold to anyone else, so there is no refund past approval. If the piece arrives damaged or we got something wrong, we fix it or remake it at our cost.

You approve the sculpture before we produce it. If it is not right, it does not get made.

FAQs

What kind of photo should I use?

Full body, clear pose, one person, decent light. A phone photo is fine. Avoid heavy shadow on the face and group shots where they are half hidden. Send your best one and we will tell you honestly if it will work.

Will it actually look like them?

It is stylized, the way a real award statuette is. The pose, the build and the silhouette are what make people recognize it instantly. The face is sculpted, not photo real. You see it before it is made.

Can I see the sculpture before it's made?

Always. You get a 3D preview and nothing goes to the printer until you approve it.

What if I want changes?

One round of revisions is included. Tell us what feels off, we reshape it and send it back.

How long does it take?

About two weeks from the moment you approve the design, plus a few days for sculpting and preview before that.

Can I have it by my event date?

Tell us the date when you send the photo. If it is tight we will say so before you commit, not after.

What can I put on the engraving?

Up to five lines on a brass plate. An award name, who it is for, what it is for, and a date. The funnier or more specific it is, the better it lands.

Can you create awards for multiple people?

One person per trophy right now. If you need several for an event, tell us how many and when, and we will work out the timeline with you.
