    Hello Matt. I can see why you wanted it, I like it too.
    Are you sure it is ivory? I can't tell from the photos. If you photograph it against a white background, it will be easier to get a focused picture, more light.
    So far it doesn't look like resin to me, which is good. It could be bone, if so, no ivory problem. Those pierced beads were made in both India and China.
    The bird, which I love, is in a Persian-inspired style which is seen in India and China. That bit of humour in the depiction of the bird makes me think China, the overall look of the necklace India.
    Maybe one of the others will be able to give you a more definite answer.
