Gem Awards

Gem Awards, established in 1988, has been a cornerstone of Southern Utah's award and recognition landscape for over three decades. Since its inception, Gem Awards has grown from a local provider of quality awards to a nationally recognized full-service awards store, fulfilling the needs of businesses, schools, universities, and individuals across the United States.

Our commitment to providing exceptional products and personalized service stems from our deeply rooted connection to the community. We understand the significance of recognizing achievements and milestones, and we strive to create awards that are not just beautiful but also meaningful reflections of the accomplishments they celebrate.

Our Expertise in Engraving

At Gem Awards, we take pride in our in-house engraving capabilities. Our team comprises highly skilled and experienced engravers who utilize a range of advanced technologies to deliver stunning and lasting results.

• Diamond Engraving: This meticulous technique involves using a diamond stylus to selectively remove the surface layer of metal or plastic, revealing a contrasting colored layer beneath. The result is an elegant and enduring design with exceptional depth and clarity. Suitable for personal items, trophies, and plaques, diamond engraving offers a timeless appeal.

• Laser Engraving: Harnessing the precision of a powerful laser beam, we remove the top layer of material to reveal the underlying surface, mimicking the stunning contrast of diamond engraving. Laser engraving is remarkably fast, making it ideal for larger orders. The technique also excels in creating intricate designs and achieving a rustic "burned" effect on wood.

• Sublimation Engraving: This method, also known as sublimation printing, involves transferring a digitally rendered image onto a plaque or trophy using heat and pressure. The image is printed in reverse on special sublimation paper, then bonded to the surface material under extreme heat. This process creates a vibrant and full-color design that is permanently integrated into the material.
