[QUOTE="David Askett, post: 3973344, member: 4727"]I’d love to know what the group thinks about this pendant. Is it genuinely old, or merely something modern that’s trying hard to look old? It appears to be walrus tusk ivory in a silver mount, with a coral cabochon on the bail. There are no maker’s or other marks on it anywhere. The ivory (if that’s what it is) fluoresces a purplish-blue under U.V. light. I purchased it in an auction that included many pieces of antique jewelry in the hope that it’s a native American piece, but I can’t decide if it's real or not..
