Game On!

Game Dice Pendant 

This fun pendent came to us from France but may be originally from China. A common three dice game that spread quickly from Asia is Cee-Lo. Cee-lo is a gambling game played with three six-sided dice. There is not one standard set of rules, but there are some constants that hold true to all sets of rules. The name comes from the Chinese Sì-Wŭ-Liù (四五六), meaning "four-five-six". In America it is also called "See-Low," "Four-Five-Six," "The Three Dice Game," "Chinchirorin," and by several alternative spellings, as well as simply "Dice." In China it is also called "Sānliù Bàozi" (三六豹子), or "three-six dice".
As shown above the dice come out of the pendant and are ready for play. This kitsch piece is one of a kind, and a conversation piece! We have but it on a gold vermiel chain. $78.00 with free shipping (limited time) check out our website for other one of a kind gifts.
