[QUOTE="all_fakes, post: 94672, member: 55"]Carved ivory-like nuts might well be tagua nuts, "vegetable ivory." Native to South America, but used world-wide for bead and other carvings. It could be that your necklace was assembled from bead items originating in number of countries. Bead suppliers are very eclectic, carrying products from around the world, so one may well find necklaces assembled from unrelated or incongruous parts.[/QUOTE]
