    The uniformity of size & shape of the rings argues against a naturally produced material. The one with the 'blood channels' looks like a puppy teethed on it.

    what about buttons?
    I'd even consider that there was a machine to make these rings.....thus the dividing line..

    I can see similar sideway holes on another 2, or 3 rings, but they are a bit more polished, like not that explicit

    different parts of the bone...... the outer parts have less lines....and can be highly polished.

    Darling bag! I vote bone... yet, the distinctive line around the outside edge bespeaks of celluloid...

    They have mold lines around the outside. Bone doesn't have that. They are probably French Ivory (plastic)
