In this review we talk about Candy Dice Sets, handmade dice with bright colors inspired by the gummy candy of our childhood. These accessories are part of an Italian Kickstarter project and we thank its creator Emanuele Terzoni for sending us two sets. To stay up to date on his work, you can follow him on the Instagram (or the second specific profile) and Facebook pages.
To purchase this product, we recommend you to visit the official Kickstarter campaign page. With 18 euros you can have a complete set in a delicious glass jar; the possibilities and customization are then very wide!
Every Color Dice
The offered options include five “basic” sets that differ in name and color; furthermore, just for the Kickstarter, there are three exclusive and more elaborate options available .
The “simple” models are Dark Love, Lemon Twist, Sugar Rush, Sweet Dream and Tropical Taste. The second category includes AcquaSparkle, IncubiPassion and SugarGasm. Looking at this variety, I can say that anyone can find a particular color that is right for them.
The author sent us two sets: the Tropical Taste, with its exotic colours, and the IncubiPassion, with passionately dark tones. One detail that I particularly appreciated is that, when crossed by light, they project pleasant reflections of the colours that compose them.
Candy Dice Sets Technical Review
The dice are really beautiful to see, light to roll and smooth and pleasant to handle (thanks to the rounded corners); it really seems to have a candy in your hand!
The materials used include glass-effect epoxy resins, silicon rubbers and alcohol-based dyes for resins; each element has been selected with high quality standards.
Speaking of the font, I can say that it is always well readable and never confuses with the colors of the dice. After all, one of the most basic (and sought after) features is still the comfort of use!
The dimensions are the standard of a classic set of seven dice, including d4, d6, d8, two d10, d12 and d20.
Passion Makes a Difference
Each set of dice is shipped in a beautiful glass jar closed with a cork, at the neck of which there is a piece of string tied with a cardboard with the words “Homemade with love”; a clear sign that indicates the great passion of the author in creating them.
In this regard, we can say that the production and packaging, although handmade, are made by an expert; these details give even more value to the product. Holding in your hands something that exudes love and not “mass production vibes” is always a nice feeling, both as a purchase and as a gift.
Candy Dice Sets Review Conclusion
To conclude this review, I must say that I really liked Candy Dice Sets: beautiful to look at and practical to use; surely this is also possible because Emanuele is a professional painter who knows how to use the right tools and who never gives up on quality.
Surely it is a purchase recommended to anyone looking for handmade dice and also eager to support a Made in Italy product.
