Another material suitable for making custom paperweights is crystal. Unlike lucite, crystal is a solid material, and custom shapes are created using cutting machines. Crystal offers better transparency and has a heavier weight, giving it a more substantial and shiny appearance. While you cannot add colored elements or insert objects into crystal paperweights, you can apply 3D laser engraving for intricate patterns and designs. Due to the qualities of crystal and the craftsmanship involved, it is often chosen for achievement awards or other luxury pieces. Keep in mind that crystal paperweights may come at a higher cost compared to lucite.

Lucite paperweights serve a dual purpose as both functional items to keep papers in place and beautiful ornaments that can showcase creativity and uniqueness. Contemporary artists and craftsmen often push the boundaries of design to create visually stunning paperweights. These innovative creations can include a wide range of items and themes, allowing for the inclusion of cool or memorable objects within the lucite. For example, you mentioned a project where simulation insect models were embedded in lucite paperweights, which served as a unique and educational teaching material for a school. Such creative uses demonstrate the versatility and potential of lucite paperweights beyond their traditional function.
