A civil war era bone dice with a sterling silver bezel, and set with a diamond and rivet. The Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans carved small cubes from the ankle bones of sheep and goats, marking them with dots or symbols to signify numbers. Dice were no mere playthings in these cultures; they were instruments of divination and religious ceremonies, entwined with the realms of the divine. Handmade by Following Seas jewelry and one of a kind, on an 18" sterling silver chain.
