The complete guide
Choosing a Guardian Angel Crystal Ball as a Memorial Gift
When you want to say something and words are not working
It can be hard to know what to write to someone after a death. A keepsake is one way to show you thought of them.
This piece is a crystal ball with a praying angel inside it and no wording. This guide covers what it shows, its size, what comes in the box and how to look after it.
How a 3D engraved angel crystal ball is made
The angel is not printed on the ball. The listing says the 3D angel is engraved into the 3.15 inch ball by laser.
The photos show a standing angel in a long robe with hands together in prayer and both wings raised, with small stars around the figure. The figure shows white inside the clear ball.
The listing describes the ball as K9 crystal, polished, and selected to be without air bubbles and impurities.
What you actually receive
The ball is 3.15 inches (80 mm) across. It sits on a silver-colored metal stand with three scrolled legs.
Inside the gift box you also get a greeting card and a wiping cloth. A listing photo shows the card with "Best Wishes" printed on the front.
The design is fixed. This is the Angel design exactly as shown in the photographs, and no name or date can be added.
Who it suits
The listing describes it as a sympathy and memorial gift, and suggests a mom, dad, friend, wife, husband, grandpa or grandma.
Think about faith. The theme is listed as religious and the figure is a praying angel. Consider whether that suits the person receiving it.
How to choose between keepsakes
Size. At 3.15 inches across, this is a tabletop piece.
Weight. The listed item weight is 1.5 pounds. Put it on a stable surface, away from the edge and out of reach of small children.
Wording. This piece has none, and none can be added. If the family wants a name and dates, choose a different piece.
Light. There is no light in this product. The stand is a plain metal stand.
Looking after it
The listed care instruction is wipe clean. Use the cloth that comes in the box, or another soft dry cloth.
Take the ball off the stand before cleaning and set it down on a folded towel so it cannot roll.
Keep it out of strong direct sunlight. A clear ball focuses light the way a magnifying glass does.
If it needs to be packed away, the original gift box is the right place for it.
The short version
This is a 3.15 inch ball with a praying guardian angel laser engraved in 3D inside it, on a silver-colored stand, in a gift box with a card and a cloth. The design is fixed, with no wording.
You can write your own message on the card.
