Pretoria East\u2019s Premier Trophy Shop<\/strong><\/p>\n

Right now, at the beginning of August 2016, trophies and medals are uppermost in the minds of people worldwide, and that includes almost everyone who visits our Pretoria East trophy shop to acquire medals, trophies, engraving and related services.<\/p>\n

Currently, sportsmen and women everywhere, local and international sporting bodies and supporters are focussed on the greatest and most highly regarded sporting competition of all time \u2013 the Olympic games.<\/p>\n

Participation in one\u2019s chosen sport at Olympic level undoubtedly represents the pinnacle of achievement in that field, while winning or placing amongst the top three athletes in the world is the highest accolade one could receive \u2013 those priceless beribboned gold, silver and bronze medals.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, the road to Olympic glory is long and hard, paved with months and years of dedication, training and locally awarded trophies and medals. There\u2019s no short cut \u2013 you move up the ranks with each achievement on your competitive journey, beginning at a basic level, on home ground. Every trophy marks a step up the ladder.<\/p>\n

Greek Roots<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cTrophy\u201d is derived from a Greek word, very much in keeping with the Olympic Games, although unlike today, winning athletes in ancient times were awarded a simple laurel wreath, albeit highly coveted.<\/p>\n

Prior to the inception of the earliest Games, trophies were spoils of war, seized by or awarded to victorious combatants. Such items could include possessions of the vanquished, land, captured battle standards or colours, arms, captives or even body parts \u2013 all proudly displayed tokens of victory, courage or excellence.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s Trophies<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fortunately, the nature and essence of today\u2019s trophies is a lot more civilised. You certainly won\u2019t find anyone else\u2019s property or parts at our well-known, specialised Pretoria East boutique shop, but you\u2019ll be amazed at our standard ranges of fine trophies on offer, in addition to a wealth of custom-made options.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not just for sports either. There are trophies and medals galore to award and recognise virtually any meritorious occasion, ideal to comply with umpteen standards, preferences and budgets.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Medals \u2013 various shapes and sizes, die struck or cast.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Trophies \u2013 traditional cups, trays, shields, plaques, belt buckles, figurines (custom and standard), in a range of materials, including acrylic, crystal and 3D cut crystal, wood, metal, resin, glass and marble.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Gift sets \u2013 practical and commemorative.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Keyrings.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Promotional items.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Lapel badges and pins.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Engraving (laser, rotary and subsurface) and personalisation (printing, sandblasting, embroidery, embossing, electroplating, gold foiling and moulding).<\/p>\n
