These crystal chess sets may not enable users to see more clearly into the future of a chess game but they do make a striking stylistic statement.

The hand-made Refraction Chess Set comes with deep cuts etched in the bodies to form their identifying patterns. The cuts can be finished in either shiny (white) or matte (black) to differentiate the chessmen and sides.

It's made in limited quantities of 10 and prices start at $2,950.
