Pair o' Dice Lost | Illustration by Bruce Brenneise
Well check you out big baller, searching for some expensive dice to add to your stack of accessories! While a pricey piece of porcelain won’t win any more die rolls than the cardboard cutout dice on the back of a cereal box, the expensive option sure looks and feels a lot better, doesn’t it?
Me, I’m a budgeteer who lives on thin margins, but I can respect the hustle. For some it’s a Rolex and Rolls-Royce they’re after, but for others, it’s the thrill of watching your diamond-studded, gold-encrusted, made-from-genuine-stegosaurus-bones d20 roll a 7 as you go last in your Commander pod once again. Hey, it’s not about improving the odds, it’s about making a statement!
What Makes Dice Expensive?

Dice price is usually determined by two things: The amount of craftsmanship put into making them, and the material being used. Hand-made dice usually run a significant amount more than mass-produced dice, and an extra artisanal touch can sculpt a die into a one-of-a-kind game piece (or display piece), which warrants a higher sales price.
Material matters too. Dice made out of gemstone or heavy metals like tungsten fetch way higher prices than you’d expect from plastic or acrylic dice. Obviously dice sets made out of “pure diamond and gold sculpted by the very dust from which the universe was created” will warrant an equally extravagant price. And as ridiculous as that sounds, that’s how online descriptions of dice sets tend to be written.
Add to all this the fact that D&D dice are usually sold in sets of seven instead of as individual pieces, and therefore you’re usually paying for seven individual items all at once. If a single die in a collection is about $15-20, you can expect the full set to run around or a little over $100.
Note that we’re not really focusing on dice useful for Magic: The Gathering here. Most 7-piece dice kits include a single d6 and d20 each, so you’re better off searching up d6 dice blocks if you’re just looking for ways to track counters in Magic.
#11. Kraken Lux Persephone's Giggles Sharp Edge Dice – $48

The pink in this Persephone's Giggle design betrays the “Queen of Underworld” title she's capable of. Embrace what it feels like to be a goddess with these sharp dice.
Big plus here: If you ever whip out a dice bag full of these, you get to yell: “Release the Kraken dice!”
#10. Forged Gaming Silver Spider Hollow Metal Dice Set – $50

The dice from Forged Gaming are what I’d call indulgent. They’re wildly distinct from a typical dice set and have visual elements that transcend normal dicedom. And there are so many different varieties and collections that feel very unique from one another. The Silver Spider hollow dice are one of the most expensive, clocking in around $50. The item comes with a metal case that can be used as a dice tray, and the numbering is colored by hand.
Craftsmanship goes a long way for some people, and Forged Gaming’s definitely crafty with its dice sets. Metal dice also just feel great, though the hollowness of this set in particular might not be what people are looking for in a set of metal dice.
#9. URWizards Meow Style Glass Dice Set – $80

In-N-Out has Animal Style, 2012 had its Gangnam Style, but now, for the totally reasonable price of $78.99, you can get your D&D Dice Meow Style. There are cats on the faces. That’s Meow Style.
I’m sure there are cat lovers abound who’d love this as a gift of some sort. Sure, you’ll have to describe to your non-cat-loving friends what number the cat’s backside is supposed to represent, but that’s a small price to pay for a themed dice kit like this. Kudos to URWizards for the quirkiness on this one.
#8. Wyrmwood Labradorite Dice Set – $90

The Wyrmwood company specializes in gaming set-ups, offering artisan-crafted gaming tables, dice boxes, and other accessories. It’s basically the IKEA of people who are seriously into tabletop gaming and want to invest a little extra into their hobby. And they’ve naturally got dice for sale, like this Labradorite set. Don’t worry, no dogs were harmed in the making of these dice.
This dice set and many other gemstone dice available from Wyrmwood have held steady at $90 for a 7-piece set for a while, though they occasionally go on sale for half off.
#7. Misty Mountain Gaming Indian Agate Stone Dice – $100

$100 is the upper limit of the stone dice sets at Misty Mountain Gaming, which sounds within reason for a passionate gamer. There are quite a few collections with different numerical prints and symbols, but I was drawn towards this Indian Agate Stone Dice set because the markings remind me of lotuses.
The fine lines reflect the richness and detail that we find in Magic's art. So not only will it keep track of your counters in-game, but it'll help your card leap off the card stock.
#6. Dichroic Glass Dice Set – $113

The gemstone dichroic glass dice from Runic Dice come with a free felt dice bag and carrying box, though they’ll still set you back a few phone payments. This is an extra fine gift idea for all kids out there playing D&D and Pathfinder, but it’s definitely on the upper end of expensive for dice kits that aren’t deliberately trying to be luxury items. We actually reviewed a set of gemstone dice produced by Runic Dice, if you want more details.
If you like colors and a clear dice and you’re looking to flaunt some pretty dice while spamming shrines over and over, these might be a consideration.
#5. Midwest Tungsten Service Store Tungsten Dice – $175
No products found.No products found. isn’t a gaming company the same way many of these other vendors are, they just happen to have a bunch of tungsten laying around somewhere that they craft into collector’s items. And apparently tungsten’s expensive. And weighty.
This purchase will net you only two dice, and you can tell this vendor isn’t marketing to tabletop gamers because they describe them as “hexahedron tungsten dice,” AKA d6s. So clearly this is more of a display item than a game piece, though if you’re trying to be a showoff and do end up using these in-game, you’ll definitely want to roll these away from anything else valuable.
No products found.
#4. Dice Envy Eternal Dawn – $250

Dice Envy has tons of affordable dice collections for sale, but also a little something special for the high-rollers with a little extra expendable cash. Eternal Dawn is their priciest offering at $250 for a 7-piece set. The description calls this a “multi-faceted rainbow crystal set with gold engraved numbers,” which is more buzzwords than I can really comprehend for a set of blocks I’m rolling around the table. But the words sound nice.
These are a bling option all the way, since prismatic dice described as “rainbow crystal” leads me to believe there may be some trouble actually discerning the numbers on the dice. I’m sure the gold-engraved numerals stand out well enough, but even in the product images there’s a lot of number reflection going on. But hey, if you’re playing in a sunny room with friends you can probably win whatever you’re playing by blinding your opponents with these.
#3. Artisan Dice Memento Mori Set – $2,691

Artisan Dice has some fanciful dice sets indeed, like their “Necromancer’s Dice” collection. The Memento Mori set is made from retired skeletons once used in medical universities. Perfect for that precious osteomancer in your life.
This set in particular runs a respectable $2,691 for a batch of 10 dice and a smart case to go with them. Steep price, sure, but you’re paying for history here. So if you believe in giving these bones yet another life and want to break these out to see which of your table’s Bracket 3 decks gets to play first, this is the dice set for you.
#2. Norse Foundry Nimbus Metal Dice – $4,000

I mean, I’m not really qualified to give financial advice to anyone, but I think it’s understood that you shouldn’t really be financing metal dice. But if for whatever reason you were looking to drop a cool $4,000 on a set of seven Tungsten metal dice, Norse Foundry has you covered.
These are some tough dice too; the site description mentions some of the dice weighing up to a pound, and even includes a disclaimer that rolling these can damage your surfaces if you’re not careful. I’m not in the market for dice that feel like bowling balls, but if you’re trying to go really big, these might be a good alternative to paying rent.
#1. Maor Yellow Gold With Emerald Dice Pair — $10,000

Jewelry as a game pieces just doesn't fit in most player's vocabulary, but here are a pair of dice that cost more than entire Vintage decks, and many of the 100 most expensive cards. Why? The Maor gold and emerald dice are made with 18k yellow gold with 21 emerald or diamond stones. The emerald carat weight is 1.22, so let these details sink in. This is as loud a statement accessory as you can find.
Wrap Up

Welcome back Mr./Mrs. Moneybags! Hope you’ve enjoyed our foray through some reasonably (and some unreasonably) high-value dice sets. These are probably best left to the super serious tabletop gamers who host often and can actually get more than three people to show up to a D&D session consistently. Those of you looking for some replacement Monopoly dice after the family dog swallowed them… probably best to look elsewhere.
Most of these kits aren’t even practical for Magic players, since the 7-piece sets almost always have an assortment of dice geared towards D&D, so this isn’t the best place to look for a nice collection of d6s. Those exist for sure, but the entries here are for more specialized games.
Have you ever spent this much on a tabletop gaming accessory? Was the purchase worth it, and where did you end up buying from? Let me know in the comments below or over in the Draftsim Discord.
