Round Optic Top Performance Award*
The Round Optic Glass Disk Award is a round glass disk standing 5.75" high, faceted around the entirety of the award and polished to a perfect shine. Light catches every facet and travels around the rim, so the piece reads as substantial the moment someone lifts it off a desk. At 3.75" wide and 1.6" deep it has real weight in the hand without dominating a shelf, and the clear disk keeps whatever you have engraved into it legible from across a room.
That engraving is the point. You have up to 18 characters on each of four lines, engraved in-house by HansonEllis, which is room for a title, a name, a reason and a year. "Top Performance / Award / Priya Raman / 2027" fits comfortably, and so does a line of plain thanks. Recognition lands differently when it is permanent. A printed certificate goes into a drawer, but a glass disk with someone's name cut into it goes on the credenza where colleagues and family can see it.
Give it to the salesperson who carried the quarter, the volunteer who never asked for credit, the innovative member of your working team whose idea changed how everyone works, or the person retiring after twenty-five years. Hand it out at the annual banquet, the year-end meeting, the graduation ceremony or the club dinner. The same faceted disk also works away from the office, holding a wedding date, an anniversary or the name of a big event, so you can keep the memory of a special day alive and well on a mantel long after the day itself.
Encourage the competitive spirit, mark the hard work, and let someone know their accomplishments were noticed. Add your engraving text above, choose your quantity, and give the most deserving person you know something they will keep.

Which one should I choose
The real choice is between recognition that survives the drive home and recognition that does not.
| Round Optic Glass Disk Award | Choose it when one person is being singled out and you want their name, the reason and the year cut permanently into faceted glass. |
|---|---|
| A printed certificate or plaque card | Choose it when you are recognizing a large group at once and the document only needs to exist for the ceremony. |
| An un-engraved glass award | Choose it only when the recipient's name genuinely is not known until the night, because a blank award reads as a stock trophy. |
For a single top performer, retiree or graduate, the engraved disk wins because their name stays on it for the rest of their career.
