Sapphire Dice

By Gramps, 16 September, 2008
Description

Three antique sapphire dice, with a total of 63 sapphires. The dice themselves MAY be made of ivory, but am not sure. I would like to know both the value of the dice themselves AND the value of the 63 small sapphires should I extract them from the dice. Not sure of their age, but would guesstimate at least 70 years.

Has anyone ever seen a similar item?

 

Thank you
