<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 10597454, member: 2844&quot;]My guess is 1980s. When I was in Hong Kong in the 70s the shops were still full of ivory carvings, and the manufacture and trade went on long after that. According to this publication by the Hong Kong government, the full ban on ivory trade was implemented on December 31st 2021.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.news.gov.hk/eng/2021/12/20211231/20211231_112532_966.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.news.gov.hk/eng/2021/12/20211231/20211231_112532_966.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.news.gov.hk/eng/2021/12/20211231/20211231_112532_966.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>There is so much post-Cites ivory about that it is best not to buy any ivory. Most people can&#039;t assess the age of ivory carvings anyway, so the best thing is to leave it where it is and not support poaching. Ivory poaching is a million dollar business that is done by ruthless criminal gangs. It costs the lives not only of the elephants but also of many brave wildlife guards.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
