Dolossies are a chorus of tiny silver dancing figures, 31 mm tall. They are my own design, made and finished by hand in solid silver. The potential for quantities of Dolossies to be delicately and patiently coaxed into arrangements that are entirely chaotic or infinitely ordered is endless, and their really tiny size is seductive...

These dancers are an interpretation of the ancient game of Jacks. The word Dolossie is an Afrikaans one, meaning knucklebones used for divination and Jacks were  originally knucklebones too. the word is also linked to huge concrete blocks called 'dolosse' used to protect coastlines from erosion.

These exquisite silver dancers are extremely wearable as jewelery. As pendant multiples they hang beautifully in a fan shape and as a pair of hanging earrings they dance round the wearer's neck, one facing to the front and the other to the back.

These are not sold with the earring fittings or with the chain. The price is just for the purchase of the figures themselves.
