Converted by hand into a wearable charm from a set of miniature Victorian dominoes.
 
I knew instantly when I saw this set of 24 dominoes the fate that awaited them and I absolutely LOVE that we're giving something old and forgotten a whole new life in 2026.
 
They are going to make the most adorable little addition to your talisman/charm jumble, a nod to your lucky number/a birthday or anniversary with a dose of historical charm.
 
Each domino has been individually carved from bovine (cattle) bone and despite their remarkably small scale, retain their numerical markings. The exceptionally compact proportions and detailed construction place the set within a broader European tradition of miniature gaming objects and intricately worked bone wares.
 
Generally, miniature domino sets of this type are well documented among objects traditionally attributed to prisoners held during the Napoleonic Wars, who produced miniature games, boxes, models, and other decorative objects from whatever readily available materials they could get their hands on.
 
We've intricately drilled a 9ct gold pin bale into the top of each domino, with a touch of glue to secure and added a generous 4mm jump ring to fit a range of chains and clasps.
 
Each domino has been hand carved from raw/natural material and this means that each one is unique in terms of colour and grain. The dominoes are over 150 years old, you are buying an antique gaming piece, please don't expect them to look new.
 
It's been a pleasure to bring these little darlings to life, I hope you love them as much as I do.
