Forever Diamond

The idea for this Forever Diamond design came from how a house of cards is constructed. The stacking technique used, when displayed graphically, put a simple twist on the classic diamond pattern seen on the backs of playing cards used in casinos. It also created a unique typeface and way of displaying the pips and court cards. No card front has the same pattern of stacked cards used to create this design either.

One Widow cards are made in Canada. More specifically, the cards are printed in Montreal and the boxes in Vancouver. Why? Well, lets be honest, cards take a beating. If you're a serious card player you'll know the cards you'd use in a casino are produced the way they are for a reason. And One Widow don't want to sell you a deck that looks pretty but falls apart after a few hands. That's why they use a company that prints and supplies playing cards to the major casinos near them. And One Widow didn't design a unique set of playing cards to have them stuffed into a standard box by a machine. Theirs are custom made, they open on the side and the team assembles each pack by hand. And that's not all. Each deck comes with a temporary replacement card incase a card gets lots or damaged. It has pre-printed guides you can fill in with a permanent marker. One Widow also sells single cards so you can restore your deck without going to the expense of having to buy a new one. You see, their cards aren't for display. They're to be used, kept on you at all times and played with regularly.
