Engraved photo 35×25 cm – who this size suits
This is the middle option among our standard engraved-photo formats – larger than the compact 21×16 cm, yet less imposing than XL plaques. It works well as a stand-alone plaque added to an existing headstone, or as the central element of a new memorial. The black, polished granite plaque (350×250×10 mm) frames a portrait at proportions that capture facial features without excessive reduction, while not overwhelming the whole headstone.
Diamond engraving – why it never fades
A natural diamond tip mechanically traces the black granite surface, point by point reproducing the tones of the photograph – from the deepest black to the lightest highlights on the face. It is a physical change to the stone's structure, not a print or a sticker, so the engraving does not fade in sunlight, does not peel off in frost, and needs no maintenance for decades. Every portrait goes through hand correction before production – contrast, the depth of the gaze and facial details are refined so the portrait feels alive rather than a flat reproduction of a photo's pixels.

How to mount the plaque on an existing headstone
The plaque can be permanently bonded to a vertical granite headstone using stone-mason's silicone or mounting tape – no drilling or altering of the existing stone required. On a horizontal slab, the plaque is set on a support wedge that keeps the correct viewing angle. Both methods are reversible in the sense that they do not affect the structure of the original headstone.
Engraved photo, porcelain photo or photo crystal – which option suits you
We offer three techniques for preserving a portrait on a headstone, each with its own character. Engraved photo (this page) is a black-and-white, minimalist portrait that is a physical part of the stone – the most resistant to mechanical damage and the most durable visually. Porcelain photo is a full-colour photograph fired onto a ceramic plaque – the choice when true-to-life colour matters. Photo crystal combines the colour of the photo with a glass-like depth effect.
🛠️ How to order an engraved photo – step by step

- Engraving: Within 7–10 working days we complete the diamond engraving on the black 35×25 cm plaque.
- Collection and mounting: We ship the finished plaque by courier or prepare it for personal pickup, together with mounting instructions for your existing headstone.
Frequently Asked Questions
How good does the photo need to be for engraving?
A sharp, well-lit photograph with a clearly visible face – ideally front-on or in a slight profile – works best. Blurry, very dark or low-resolution photos limit the level of detail achievable with diamond engraving. If you're unsure about your photo's quality, send it for assessment before ordering – we check it free of charge.
Will a 35×25 cm engraved photo fit any headstone?
The plaque (350×250×10 mm) needs a sufficiently large, flat mounting surface – check the available space on your headstone before ordering. If your headstone has less room, we recommend a smaller 30×20 cm size.
How long does production of an engraved photo take?
Typically 7–10 working days, counted from approval of the portrait design. Production may take slightly longer during busy periods at the workshop, for example before holidays.
What's the difference between an engraved photo and a porcelain photo?
Diamond engraving produces a black-and-white portrait that is a physical part of the stone – it never peels off or fades. A porcelain photo is a full-colour photograph fired onto a separate ceramic plaque, faithfully reproducing colour but set into the stone as a separate element. The choice depends on whether colour or maximum durability matters more to you.
How do I mount the plaque without altering my existing headstone?
On a vertical headstone, the plaque is bonded with stone-mason's silicone or mounting tape – no drilling required. On a horizontal slab, a support wedge holds the plaque at the correct angle. Both methods are standard solutions in headstone installation.
Does the PLN 450 price include the granite plaque itself?
Yes – the price of PLN 450 covers both the black granite plaque (350×250×10 mm) and the diamond engraving work. There are no additional material costs – it's a finished product ready to mount.
