Nice competition idea :)
After having a look around the site I think my favorite piece would be this 24K Gold Dice pendant
I like it because I've always loved the idea that the world is ruled by probability and chance, and that a good understanding of those concepts can be used in every single field of expertise that is.
I love Nassim Taleb's work on the use and abuse of statistics and probability, which he's organized as a multi-book spanning Essay collection entitled INCERTO, which includes books like Black Swan and dive deep into how probability is used, and misused, in the modern world.
To get back to that dice, one thing I also love about probability is it's role in boardgames.
I love being able to lose or win not only because of a good strategy, but because the "dice were with me".
Seriously... some of my friends look at me funny when I manage to get just the right combination of cards 10 times in a row one night, then on another night I keep getting unlucky draws...
I usually joke that I've been doing something with Lady Luck, and my luck depends on how well I performed the night before ;) ;) ;)
Very interesting explanation ! Entry accepted :)
Thanks :)
Who shall win... the Followers of the Dice... or those other guys and gals ? XP
OH, and the reason It's not the actual gold dice themselves is that I feel they'd vanish mysteriously the moment I took them out to play a board game.
Most boardgames require lots of people, so you might not know everyone, and one of my favorite things is going to board game bars and playing after a busy week.
The necklace would allow you to discreetly rub it for luck while playing, while the dice would probably vanish if you played with them XP
