Purchased at an antique shop in Ebisu. The dice themselves are from 18th-19th century France, made of animal bone. The dice holes were likely made in the late 20th century. (I remember being jokingly told that it might be the bones of someone who lost at gambling.) At the time, people who enjoyed gambling often wore necklaces and accessories with playing card and dice motifs for good luck. The original leather cord was severely deteriorated and would stain shirts, so I replaced it with a titanium ball chain. Martin Margiela has designed items that are considered masterpieces by sourcing from various cultures and customs. I suspect that these kinds of accessories from that time were the inspiration for dice necklaces and playing card necklaces. This is a very valuable item. Honestly, the color, texture, and feel surpass Margiela. Being genuine bone and an antique, it has an atmosphere that transcends the brand. martin margiela maison martin margiela archive archive
