1950s 9ct Gold Dice Holder Pendant
The epitome of ‘novelty charm’, this adorable creation is a miniature version of a double dice holder. Back in the day, no self respecting lad would be seen dead without his dice. Who knew when a little gambling opportunity would arise?! Or at least this is how I imagine it! The gold ‘cage’ houses two real baby dice, carved from contrasting hard wood, you could actually play with them if caught short! Beautifully made, the gold holder hinges open at the bottom, releasing the dice. Super fun, and you are very unlikely to bump into someone with the same pendant!

9ct yellow gold and wood
Hallmarks
Fully hallmarked for 9ct gold, with London date letter for 1953 and maker’s mark FM

Very good vintage condition. The dice have tiny cracks indicating the wood has dried out but they are intact and look fab
