Gaming Chip Jewelry |

 Antique Gambling Counters
used in this beautiful jewelry were made from Mother-of-pearl. Dating back more than 250 years to the Ching Dynasty, these exquisitely crafted counters were made for the East India Trading Company and other European merchants who had settled in China. They were mainly used by British royalty and nobility and often were engraved with their family crests or initials. Other pieces showed symbolic themes like people, fish, flowers, animals and insects that held great meaning to the artists.
Approximately 100 years ago these Chinese works of art were transported to England when the British were ousted from China. Quadrille, Ombre and Loo were some of the games played with these chips. Around 1840, games like Whist and Bridge came along with which gambling counters were not used. The counters began to fade into the shadows of their owner's castles, palaces and stately homes in England. That is where our artist finds them now and transforms them in 14k gold to become flattering pieces of conversation jewelry. They are being rediscovered and appreciated once again for their exquisite beauty.
Our collection of pendants, earrings, necklaces, bracelets and rings start at $200. We just received a wonderful group of earrings. Click here to see some of the collection.
