Meet the newest trophy from the Exclusives Collection of luxury awards: the Metropolis Crystal.
A NYC Inspired Crystal Award
Tall, sleek, and unmistakably grand, the Metropolis Crystal transforms urban architecture into an award. Named for the collective gleaming edifices that make up the view from the former Society Awards Design Studio in New York City. Crafted in brilliant crystal, the Metropolis Crystal award imagines the city as a gem, casting unique and beautiful light from different angles. The form captures, in an abstract way, the luster of New York’s glass-faced architecture.

A Tribute to Urban Skylines in Crystal Form
The name “Metropolis” pays homage to the urban skyline. Its central prism echoes glass-faced skyscrapers, with a slanted multi-faceted form that captures light like a city at twilight. Whether featured at corporate galas or entertainment events, this design instantly conveys sophistication and place-based storytelling.
Precision Cut Crystal & Geometric Form
The central form creates a hexagonal footprint on the base (six sides and six corners). Each side of this hexagon is the base of a vertical triangular face (six triangles), while four of the corners of the hexagon are the end points to inverted triangles, creating the award’s ten interlocking sides. The four inverted triangles truncate at the top to create an angled, four-sided diamond shape. Mounted on a polished black crystal base, this highly reffected design balances light, depth, and elegance.
The high-end optic crystal, cut in this unique fashion, shines and reflects color in an alluring manner. At the same time, some facets reflect the rich black base, to provide stunning contrast.
