Introduction

For over fifteen years, Crystal Signatures has been creating concepts and producing unique crystal awards and gifts for corporations as a way to recognize, reward, motivate or congratulate.

Our emphasis is on crystal due to the dynamic talents of world-renowned crystal designer, Peter Wayne Yenawine, President and Chief Designer of Crystal Signatures.  In addition to crystal, other
materials are available such as precious
metals, leather, pewter, porcelain and
Corian®.

Under Mr. Yenawine’s directions, Crystal Signatures has been commissioned by major corporations at all levels, the past five Presidential administrations; and sponsors of international professional sporting events and nationally televised award shows.

Regardless of the size of your order or project, the same process will be used to develop a unique, concept/product for you or your client.  By using Crystal Signatures you are ensured of the highest quality and value within your budget.

The Process

1. Initial Phase
From the onset of any program, to best utilize our services contact our consultants with the initial parameters of the event.
2.  Crystal Signatures Creative Meeting
The creative team, headed by Peter Yenawine, assimilate the information and translate the parameter into a tangible, meaningful concept.  Several concepts may result from this meeting.
3.  Design
The concepts are refined and translated into ideas for unique product(s).  These ideas are sketched, rendered and/or modeled by our art department for visualization purposes and initial costing.      
4.  Presentation
The concepts and/or product(s) are then presented as a sketch and/or model to aid you in visualizing the final design.
5.  Project Coordination
Upon approval of the design, a project coordinator will be assigned to personally oversee the development of the program and will be able to communicate updates and answer any questions for you throughout the process.

Peter Wayne Yenawine

For his sculptures in crystal and other media such as gold, silver and stainless steel, Peter Wayne Yenawine has become known as one of America’s most talented designers.  In the natural elements of the earth, he discovers and then cultivates exquisite native possibilities until a form emerges that is as essential and pure, and recognizably a Yenawine, as those of Tiffany and Faberge before him.

Peter was for seven years a Master Designer at Steuben Glass, and since that time has had designs created by most of the major international crystal and art glass houses:  Baccarat, Daum, Orrefors, Rosenthal, Nachtamm, Cristalleries de Saint Louis, Val St. Lambert, Lenox, Steuben and Swarovski.

While Director of Designs for the Franklin Mint, Mr. Yenawine worked intimately with Philippe and Jacques Cousteau on a commission for the Cousteau Society, to create a remarkable four-part crystal sculpture mirroring the water planet of Jacques Cousteau.

Peter Yenawine has been commissioned by four White House administrations to create numerous gifts of state and has designed numerous international sporting trophies.
Private commissions are a particular favorite of Mr. Yenawine.  One-of-a- kind sculptures present a wonderful opportunity to create something truly personal for the recipient.

Mr. Yenawine is on the Board of Visitors of the College of Visual & Performing Arts at Syracuse University in New York.  He serves on the Board of Directors of the Community Art Center in Wallingford, Pennsylvania, as well as the Arts Council of the Wallingford-Swarthmore School District.

Mr. Yenawine has been bestowed with many awards including the George Arents Pioneer Medal by Syracuse University for excellence in the field of design and the Collector Editions Award of Excellence.

Whether by gift or private commission, Yenawine designs and one-of-a-kind sculptures reside in private as well as museum collections throughout the world.
