[QUOTE="Dessert58, post: 5516617, member: 78465"]Ksw, nice find! I don't know where you live but here in Belgium I see ivory beeing sold everywhere around me both by people who actually know what they have as by people who don't :sorry: If you tell them what they do is illegal, they just change the description to: 'a noble material' and keep on selling.:( 10- 15 years ago people in the town where I live were still able to buy new old stock ivory from some religious monastery who send its people to Congo till the seventies. Laws are good but people will always find a way to adapt to be able to do what they want. So just keep this ring in its original state, please, and just enjoy it and maybe pass it on to your relatives.[/QUOTE]
