<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 339804, member: 2844&quot;]Jeff, it is delightful, so exquisitely painted on such a small piece of ivory.</p><p>And I think the child is cute. I agree, at that age it could be a boy or a girl. Slightly older than a toddler though, I think 4 or 5, just before boys started wearing boys clothes.</p><p><br /></p><p>Since the ivory in this case is so delicate, I would advise not to attempt repair yourself. It is not a big chunk of ivory.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" /></p><p>In a piece like this, the moisture from the glue could be a problem, both for the paint and the ivory. Besides, most glues contain sulphur, which eats away at ivory. Other chemicals could be a problem as well. Expert ivory restorers know what to use and how.</p><p>If the cost is more than the value, you could leave it as it is, and if you want to sell, sell it as it is.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
