Definition of Ivory as it relates to Collectibles, Jewelry, Vintage Costume Jewelry

Ivory: A lustrous white substance derived from the tusks and teeth of animals such as elephants, walruses, and narwhals, prized for its beauty and durability. Ivory has been used historically in a variety of decorative and functional objects, including collectibles, jewelry, vintage costume jewelry, figurines, and other works of art. Its rarity and association with luxury have made it a highly sought-after material throughout history. However, due to concerns over animal cruelty and the illegal ivory trade, the use and sale of ivory is heavily regulated in many countries, making authentic and legal ivory objects valuable and collectible.
