    Yeah - the dimples on the back of the carvings look like coral. Plastic would just be smooth on the back I reckon. But I'm not seeing ivory.

    If the photos were in focus maybe someone could tell.....they look man made from a ball burr and dremel.

    It is costume jewellery.

    Coral can have holes or irregular cavities, no dimples. In white coral you often see a bumpy texture, holes, hexagonal cellular cavities with raised centres, these can extend to long, spidery structures, but no dimples:

    Komo, the pendant in your picture has the cellular structure with the raised centre.

    Try taking your photos on a plain white or black background. The green is interfering with the camera color focus. Also, if you take the photo from a bit further away and then crop it, you'll get a sharper image.

    This looks like molded plastic to me.

    Exactly, no ivory, no coral, but costume jewellery with plastic, from what we can see so far. I think we're all in agreement.

    I don't know how much the price should be, but I am in agreement that it does not look like coral, thanks for the enlargement AnyJewelry. I just wanted to tell you your second set of photos are much better than the first. Best wishes. :singing:
