The Handshake Crystal Trophy
is a masterwork of professional recognition, specifically engineered to commemorate the most vital element of the global business landscape: the successful agreement. As a premier offering from The Awards DXB, this trophy transcends the standard corporate gift, acting as a permanent, three-dimensional monument to trust, collaboration, and mutual growth. In the fast-paced, high-stakes markets of Dubai and beyond, a handshake is more than just a gesture—it is a covenant of progress, and this award is designed to immortalize that moment of connection.
Design Philosophy and Collaborative Symbolism
The design of this award is centered on the concept of “The Golden Deal.” The verticality of the crystal monolith is inspired by the soaring corporate towers of the DIFC, representing the structural ambition of international trade. Inside the crystal, a high-definition 3D Sub-Surface Laser Etching captures two hands joined in a firm, professional grip.
This “floating” imagery is achieved through thousands of microscopic laser points inside the glass, creating a holographic effect that signifies the depth and transparency required in any successful partnership. The handshake motif is universally recognized as the seal of a contract, the end of a negotiation, or the start of a joint venture. By suspending this image in crystal, the award suggests that while the deal may have been made in an instant, the impact of the partnership will be permanent.
Materiality and Artisanal Precision
At The Awards DXB, we believe that the weight of an award should match the gravity of the partnership it celebrates.
K9 Optical Crystal: The main body is crafted from premium K9 crystal, prized for its exceptional clarity and durability. Every edge is hand-beveled and diamond-polished for over 12 hours. This ensures that light is captured and dispersed in a brilliant spectrum, making the internal 3D handshake glow with life when placed under boardroom lighting.
Gold-Plated Architectural Accents: Crowning the crystal pillar is a 24K gold-plated circular emblem. This metallic seal acts as a “seal of quality,” signifying that the partnership has reached the “Gold Standard” of corporate relations. The rich, deep luster of the gold provides a warm, luxurious contrast to the cool, transparent glass.
The Obsidian Pedestal: The trophy is anchored by a solid, multi-tiered black glass base. This high-gloss foundation acts as a dark mirror, reflecting the crystal body and adding a sense of monumental presence.
The Dubai Business Context
Dubai is the global crossroads of trade, a city built on the power of international alliances. The Unity in Partnership award is designed to sit comfortably in the most prestigious executive suites. It is the ideal recognition for:
Successful Mergers & Acquisitions: Commemorating the joining of two corporate forces.
Strategic Alliances: Honoring the synergy between long-term business partners and vendors.
Diplomatic Relations: Recognizing cross-border cooperation and governmental agreements.
Employee Loyalty: Celebrating the “handshake” between an organization and its most dedicated long-term leaders.
Technical Precision and Customization
Every unit produced for theawardsdxb.com is subject to a rigorous quality control process. We ensure that the 3D laser points are perfectly dense to create a solid-looking silhouette without any internal fracturing or cloudiness. The base is fitted with a non-slip protective underside, ensuring it sits securely on high-end marble or mahogany desks.
The front of the black base is designed for bespoke personalization. Using our high-contrast diamond-tip engraving or gold-leaf printing, we can include the names of the two collaborating parties, the specific date of the agreement, and a personalized message of appreciation. This turns a beautiful object into a personalized artifact of corporate history. When a leader receives the “Unity in Partnership” Trophy, they are holding a piece of their legacy—a reminder of a time when two visions became one.
