How it's made

Your sky is engraved inside the crystal with a laser, point by point, so the stars sit at different depths inside it.

The lamp base

The lamp base is optional. It lights your stars from below. Without it, stand your crystal by a sunny window or a bedside lamp and the stars catch the light.

As featured in

Goodnight, little star.

On its lamp base, the sky from the night they arrived lights up from below. A soft glow by the cot now, and a keepsake for every birthday after.

How it works

  1. Tell us when they arrived

    The date, the place and, if you know it, the time they were born.

  2. We map their sky

    We plot the stars, the constellations and the horizon from where they were born, at the very minute you chose.

  3. We engrave it

    Their sky, their name and their birth date are engraved inside solid crystal, each star at its own depth.

The night they arrived.

Whether they arrived at 3am or teatime, Skies takes the date and the place they were born, maps the sky that was overhead and engraves it into solid crystal.

It's their sky as it really was, star for star. One day you'll show them what it means.

Look closer

Every crystal is engraved to order, just for you.

FAQs

How do you know where the stars were?

We plot every star from a professional star catalogue for your date, time and place, so your crystal shows the sky as it really was.

What if I don't know the exact time they were born?

Go with your best guess. The sky turns slowly, so being a few minutes out makes very little difference. Or leave it blank, and we'll engrave the date and place without a time.

Can I add their name and birth date?

Yes. Their name is engraved beneath the sky, along with the date and the place they were born.

What sizes can I choose?

Three. Small is 8 × 5 × 5 cm, medium is 10 × 6 × 6 cm and large is 12 × 6 × 6 cm. Every size holds their whole sky and their name.
