I don't usually buy any product that hasn't been reviewed yet, let alone as a gift. But boy, I'm glad I took the chance with this set: they're amazing!
I figure that, as the first reviewer, it'd be helpful to do a pretty thorough (ridiculously long) review, but to sum it all up: I'm extremely pleased with these dice, and they're an excellent purchase for pretty much anyone.
As the product description says, these dice are sized at 25mm. As a reference, your average set of D&D dice are 16mm. On paper, that doesn't seem like a significant difference in size, but in person, these things are massive! The first two pictures show the d20 and d4 next their standard-sized Chessex counterparts, and you can see that the Nyx are about twice as large! If you're after a set of large dice, you've found them.
They're described as "smoky black... with gold etchings", and that's pretty accurate, overall. However, the 'black' is more like a very, VERY dark blue-green, and shimmers -- absolutely gorgeous.
The gold on the faces is matte rather than metallic, and isn't a in-your-face Bright Gold -- it's more of a true gold, maybe green-gold, and it fits very well with the main color of the dice.
I think this point is very obvious, but just for the sake of clarity, the description refers to them as "SEVEN STONES", but these aren't literally made from stone. I'm not really knowledgeable as to how dice are made, but I'd guess that these are resin or plastic, just from comparing them to the Chessex dice I own. However, the size alone makes these heavy enough to create an amazing 'thud' that's weirdly satisfying to listen to.
Also, these are claimed to channel the Greek goddess of the night, but I sadly cannot confirm nor disprove that. They are, however, weighted wonderful and get an even spread of rolls on each of the dice, but perhaps the manufacturer could include a certification of whatever blessing they add for channeling, y'know, just to be safe. ; )
The wooden box these dice come with is, in two words, super cool! The recessed design is beautiful, clear, and detailed, but what really impresses me is that the sliding top is a shockingly tight fit-- holding the box vertically and lightly shaking it didn't dislodge the top at all, but it opens smoothly either by moving it with a sudden jerk or, y'know, by hand.
I'm not entirely sure what sort of wood it's made from, but a relative of mine believes it's some form of pine. It seems to be built from either actual thin slabs of wood, or decent-quality plywood. Either way, you get the exact box that's advertised, and it's a good box.
Now, the one thing that impresses my the most about these dice is the faces themselves. The description says absolutely nothing about it, but after comparing the faces for a bit, I found that the designs on the faces (excluding the numbers themselves) are all unique. There are some that are similar, but each face gets it's own design. And the designs are, frankly, better and more intricate in person than any of the pictures gives them credit for.
If you're looking for some dice to paint, to challenge yourself with, to have the space for complex gradients or whatever you can think of, these are for you.
However, after all of this praise, they aren't the best in terms of the of paint itself. The paint is uneven -- some bits of the faces getting a nice, think coat of gold, but other parts are thin enough to be somewhat transparent. There are also some bits of paint that aren't where they're supposed to be, with some blotches reducing the visibility of the numbers a bit. The third and fourth pictures show this, with the fourth being the most 'severe' blotch on any of the dice.
I don't mind any of this, as I can remove the excess easily, have a ton of paint just lying around, and have always wanted to paint dice. For me, this is a minor error that'd only warrant loosing half a star, but if you're buying dice for the pre-painted faces only, these aren't going to be for you.
The only other issues I could find were with the box and a couple faces on the d4.
The box is every-so-slightly too short for the entire set to fit into, with each dice fully flush against the bottom. They all fit in pretty easily though, just not in that 'picture perfect' way.
Two of the faces of the d4 have designs that are a bit off-center. It's doesn't affect legibility and only seems to be an issue on the d4, but it's something to mention.
All of these issues are extremely minor for me, and the person these are going to isn't going to mind either. But, as these are manufacturing flaws, I have to take off a star for it.
Overall, my biggest gripe with the Nyx set is that I didn't buy them for myself! The color is great, the decorations are wonderful, and the box doesn't feel like a cheap add-on! I'm a satisfied buyer, and the person these are for will absolutely love them!

These dice are made of the same sort of plastic/resin material as normal dice, misleading ad copy about "stones" notwithstanding. It doesn't help that WizDice does sell actual stone dice - these are not those. These don't feel any denser than normal dice, but they are bigger so they have noticeably more weight.
It is in fact possible to fit all the dice flat into the box, but it's kind of tricky. Try putting the d4 in between the d20 and d12 as shown in the picture. Once you do that, it is relatively easy to get the rest of them in.

Nice dice, but you have to know the trick to use the box
By Aaron Rotenberg on May 5, 2019
Nice dice. They are easy to hold and look pretty. I was concerned that the numbers would be difficult to read in the weird font, but they aren't a problem in person. The box is neat and worth the little bit of extra money.By Aaron Rotenberg on May 5, 2019

Tragically poor quality
By Zechariah Spector on July 1, 2019
I've amassed hundreds of dice in a collection of novelty and creative dungeon dice, but this set is the worst I've ever purchased. As you can see in the photo, the numbers are either bled into, or bleed into their surroundings in terribly ugly fashion. The wood on the box is of poor quality as well, a bit splintery and guaranteed to badly wear just by opening and closing it a few times. If this is how Titan dice get produced, I'm staying far away from the entire brand name!
