Today we talk about items made from ivory and other materials, each with its own unique history and significance. It is illegal to sell ivory and if you try to do so on eBay you can (will) get banned. We talk about how to identify ivory and the types of faux ivory items you will find.
Materials like ivory, bone, and coral have been used in jewelry and other items throughout history. You need to be aware of what you're buying and selling, especially when it comes to materials with legal restrictions. It's crucial to do thorough research and ensure compliance with regulations.
We also talk about coral today. Angel skin coral is a prized for its delicate pink hue, and your necklace with hand-carved tulip beads is quite unique. The addition of the 14 karat gold clasp enhanced its value. Repurposing materials like the clasp to elevate the overall worth of the piece can be a simple way to enhance value.
A cautionary note about counterfeit red coral. People will die cheap white coral in order to sell it for more money. Being able to distinguish between authentic and dyed coral is crucial for collectors and sellers alike.
