[QUOTE="Taupou, post: 2186677, member: 45"]Somewhere I have a similar neck piece, except it has silver findings instead of gold, and two little chain links joining the two tusks, with a silver mounted turquoise pendant hanging from the bottom chain. If it's any help, I purchased it in American Samoa, in 1971. And yes, I was told at the time that it was made from boar's tusk. All I know is that they were widely found in the South Pacific in the early 1970s. I know they were sold in Tahiti, Samoa, and Fiji. Where, specifically, they were made, however, I can't positively state. But I've seen a few over the years since, showing up at antiques shows and shops.
