From Photo to Light (2025): How We Craft Custom Pet Crystal Ball Night Lights at MemoriaStella

Some keepsakes are made; ours are crafted. At MemoriaStella, every piece begins with a story, a photo, and a promise: to bring a gentle presence back into the room. This is the care-and-craft process behind our custom pet crystal ball night lights—from your photo to a warm bedside glow.

  3. Choose your base & light — Warm light is most popular for bedtime comfort; touch-control/RGB options are also available.
  4. Approve & craft — Once approved, we begin precision laser engraving for your custom pet crystal night light.

🛠️ The Craft: Photo → Crystal → Light

1) Photo Refinement

We start by enhancing your image: remove background noise, adjust contrast for fur/whiskers, and keep expressions natural. For group photos, we can crop to the companion you want to feature.

2) 2D-in-Sphere Engraving Map & Depth Planning

Your lamp is a 2D engraving inside a spherical crystal. Our software converts the refined photo into micro-points (“light points”) with different intensities. We fine-tune density around eyes, nose and whiskers so the portrait reads clearly under warm light.

3) Precision Laser Engraving

Using a high-frequency laser, we place thousands of micro-points inside the crystal—no surface printing. The exterior stays smooth and the image remains permanent.

4) Base & Warm-Light Tuning

We test the engraved sphere on the selected base (Warm/Touch/RGB). Warm light is calibrated to soften shadows and reduce glare at night.

5) Triple Quality Check

  • Optical clarity — no bubbles, no internal scratches.
  • Face test — the portrait must read well at 1 m and in low light.
  • Engraving review — name/date wording and alignment verified.
