Card Flash: Diamon Playing Cards N° 5 by Artedame Dutch Design Studio

Get into the summer vibe with these striking deck of playing cards by Artedame Dutch Design Studio. Currently in fulfillment stage, the Diamon Playing Cards N° 5 features diamond patterns with shades of butter yellow to cherry wine red, which beautifully complement each another. The eye-catching diamond patterns are assembled with mathematical precision, creating a truly harmonious composition.

This deck is beautifully done! For one, the deck is fully custom, which is rare for a deck crafted specifically for cardistry. The geometric courts, Ace of Spades and pips have been updated to harmonize the theme and pattern with a complementary color palette. They have a very modern look and feel to them.

For me, the striking card back is the highlight. Not only have the theme and colors translated beautifully to the geometric pattern, they are aesthetically pleasing as well. I can't stop admiring the deck when I first took them out of the tuck box.

The deck functions and handles incredibly! Flourishes, fans, faros, and shuffles look great. If you've back this deck, you won't be disappointed.

Printed by the United States Playing Card Company with Linoid finish on Bicycle grade stock. Available now from diamoncards.com for €15.00.
