Luxury Blue Epoxy Diamonds Backgammon Set in Walnut — Handmade in Armenia
Blue epoxy diamonds alternate with walnut diamonds edge to edge across both faces of this luxury backgammon set — a harlequin of resin and figured wood ground to one flat plane — and inside the same resin, this time deep green, fills points drawn as stacked diamond outlines and a sun-wheel in each half. 60 × 60 cm / 23.6″ × 23.6″ open, handmade in Armenia.
This is the wooden backgammon set that plays its pattern in colour rather than relief: the blue swirls a little inside each diamond where the resin set, the walnut between them shows its own figure, and a thin dark line borders the field. The rails carry long troughs at each end, a scalloped line runs along the ends, and brass clasps hold it shut.
The checkers are wooden discs topped in resin, half green and half terracotta, so they answer the green points beneath them; a pair of dice comes with them.

Good to Know Before You Buy
Is the pattern a print? No — every blue diamond is epoxy resin poured into a recess cut in the walnut, cured and ground flush, and the green points and sun-wheels inside are filled the same way. The scalloped border is scored into the wood. No printing, no applied parts.
What about shipping and returns? Shipping is free worldwide and tracked. Every set is covered by our 30-day returns policy.
How do I look after it? Keep it out of direct sunlight and away from radiators, which can cloud or yellow resin over time. Wipe wood and resin with a dry, soft cloth and store it closed.
