D6 Tiles Cage
The faces have bars that divide them in a certain number of holes.
To get the result of this die, just count the number of holes between the bars on the upper face.
This die is quite big (3 x 3 x 3 cm) and the wire is 3 mm so that it should be printable in Metal.
Note that, due to its structure, this die is far from being fair (1 is more likely than 6).

D16 Sphere

This is a Truncated Sphere D16. It has a 4-fold symmetry.

This die is inspired by the repulsion force polyhedra. In fact, the underlying polyhedron (not rounded) looks like one of the two shapes that can be obtained through this technique with 16 points repulsing each others.
But in this case, I calculated the positions of those points to have a maximal radius for the circles resulting from the intersection of this underlying polyhedron with a sphere. The result is a truncated sphere with 16 circular faces of same radius.

See this thread for more informations.

Available Truncated Sphere Dice: D4, D6, D8, D9, D10, D%, D11, D12, D14, D15, D16, D17, D18, D20, D24, D32, D33
Alternative shapes: alt D8, 3-fold D10 (rounded), 3-fold D10 (pointed), 4-fold D10, 5-folded D10 (pointed)
Coming soon: D22, D50
Related dice: Concave D4, Concave D6, D4 Shell, D8 Shell.

See this post for more information.
Necklace and marbles are not included.
Be careful: if you use metal, you will have to force to make the marble enter the pendant (little flexibility) and it will be difficult to remove!

Color D6

This is a color die. The shape is a cube with smooth edges (chamfer). You can now customize the image... I used different colors for the faces in the first example so that you can understand how the texture is mapped, but I recommend a single color for the background like in the two last examples. See this post for more information.

Square Fabric

This is a fabric made of 84 links. 60 of them are identical squares. The 24 links on the borders are smaller so that there are not too loose.

Also have  look to a similar product by Stop4stuff.

D6 Tiles
Each face has a certain number of tiles or of bricks if you prefer.
To get the result of this die, just count the number of tiles on the upper face.
This die is quite big (3 x 3 x 3 cm) and contains support material so it should be quite heavy.

D4 Cage

This die is a wireframed tetrahedron that contains an hollow octahedron where the numbers are located.
In this way, it is easy to read the result of this die since it is the number on the top face of the internal octahedron.
Because it contains a small amount of material, this die is also quite affordable (try it in metal).

A ring made of one unique thread and 6 loops.
It is very flexible : the internal diameter can vary from 18 to 20 mm.
Be careful, it is quite thick for a ring though (7.5 mm).
But it is a beautiful small decorative object....

A new shape for the Average Die that looks like a molecule.
To find the result of this die, you have to make the average of the four numbers pointing upward. For instance, 8 + 10 + 1 + 1 = 20, thus the result is 20/4 = 5. The positions of the results (from 1 to 6) match those of a standard D6.

Space Filling Polyhedra
A regular dodecahedron and this other unusual polyhedron (that I call "Anti-Dodecahedron" but George W. Hart call it "Concave Dodecahdron") can fill the space (use the same proportion of each ones).
If you take into account their respective volumes, this means that dodecahdron alone can be close-packed with an efficiency ratio of more than 90.43% (which is not too bad, knowing that for spheres the maximum is supposed to be less than 74.05%).

This set contains only two ployhedra: one dodecaheron and one anti-dodecahedron.
Order it several times to fill the whole space... :)

Model designed for Elasto Plastic.
This is a big die based on a regular D12 (a Dodecahedron) where you can insert a US Quarter coin on each face.
The goal is to have 12 quarters from different states and thus to select a state by throwing the die (perhaps to choose a travel destination).
A version for 1 euro coins is also available: DodEuro.
See also the D12Euro.

This is Shapeways community member Henryseg's solution of D24 numbering with all group of 4 numbers summing to 50. Moreover the faces around triangular area sum to 37 or 38.
See this post for more informations.

This version will be available for a very limited amount of time with a very small markup: $25.00  instead of $31.99 (including VAT) in Antique Bronze Glossy (that's more than 20% discount).

The regular D24 is also available in a wider range of materials.

A new shape for the Average Die with numbers repeated on each corner and a hollow structure.
To find the result of this die, you have to make the average of the four numbers pointing upward. For instance, 8 + 10 + 1 + 1 = 20, thus the result is 20/4 = 5. The positions of the results (from 1 to 6) match those of a standard D6.
