• Mechanical engraving on crystals
• This is a fantastic  technique for producing
  several crystal awards with similar designs. In
  mechanical engraving, a computer-assisted machine
  is used so that the patterns can be etched onto
  the surface of the crystal. Thanks to this
  technique, you will get crisp, clear letters and
  it is one of the most preferred methods for
  producing engraved crystal glasses and awards.
  These products are used primarily for displaying
  dates and times, names, etc. If you need to give
  someone engraved crystals with detailed pictures,
  logos and graphics, the mechanical engraving
  method isnt the ideal one.

• Laser engraving on crystal awards
• Experienced designers are capable of producing
  crystal awards using the high-tech laser
  engraving method. This technique uses laser
  engraving machines and these machines trace
  patterns onto the surface of the crystal glass
  products. The machine is capable of producing
  sharp designs effectively and the entire method
  is speedy and fast.
• Even though laser engraving is efficient, it does
  not produce a consistent quality. Lasers might
  even fracture the surface of the crystal and
  produce uneven patterns. It cannot produce 3D
  designs.

• Sand carvings on crystals
• When it comes to engraving crystals, one of the
  most versatile and celebrated methods is
  considered to be sand carving. It is a technique
  where designers compress air and direct a stream
  of sand-like, abrasive particles onto the
  crystals surface. Sand carvings can also be used
  to create high-quality, intricate designs and 3D
  images.
