They're my custom chips, the BearRose Timeless set on the ASM new Hourglass mold. Here's what I wrote over on Chiptalk about it:

For those of you who haven't heard the story behind my Timeless set:
I don't have a casino, nor a card room; heck, I don't even have a regular game yet. But I do have a husband that I simply adore. Michael - whose nickname is Bear - has gotten tattoos every ten years we've been together (2 so far, for our 26 years) of a bear holding a rose. His tattoos honor our marriage, and I've always wanted to do something similar. To me, chips are a work of art, similar to a tattoo; and I wanted something simple, yet complex in its meaning, as a tribute to him and us. Something that would tell our story without words (though I can't help but gush as it is when I speak of him).
So, with the help of Austin5String and Jsmithjr32, we came up with the BearRose stamp...I decided to call the set "Timeless".
