Master Carver to Engrave Crystals From Last Year's New Year's Eve Ball Sold as Mementos
Waterford will engrave names on crystals from last year’s New Year’s Eve ball, which sell for $140 to $195 each, officials said.
- On Thursday, Waterford master cutter Richard White began engraving crystals from the Constellation Ball at One Times Square, allowing the public to purchase personalized mementos.
- Waterford, a luxury crystal brand from Ireland, crafts 5,280 crystals individually over three days each for the 12,350-pound geodesic sphere representing the nation's 250th birthday.
- Prices for the crystals range between $140 and $195, depending on size, which varies from 1.5 to 4 inches in diameter.
- Nine versions of the ball have marked celebrations since 1907, with the only exceptions occurring during World War II when the city instituted a nightly "dimout" to protect against attacks.
- Delfin Ortiz, general manager of One Times Square, described the crystals as part of "tomorrow's history" as the site prepares to swap them for new designs for the upcoming New Year.
