[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 5522098, member: 2844"]It is gorgeous, K.:happy: Don't want to put a damper on things, but I still saw these sold new in the early 70s. Chinese were never very fussy about adhering to international agreements on their favourite materials. But what's done is done, it is vintage, and by buying true vintage for a song you don't support the illegal ivory trade. Keep it and enjoy it.:happy: On the Dutch 'Marktplaats' they also use that term. Or instead of 'ivoor' (ivory) they will spell it 'iv00r' or 'iveur', so it won't be picked up by the digital control system, but everyone knows what it is. To be fair, the listings I've seen were for pre-CITES ivory, which can still be sold legally overhere.[/QUOTE]
