[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 1577493, member: 2844"]Welcome, Rebeca. She is really lovely, and I am glad you want to keep her, I would. Selling could be a problem, not only because she is ivory, but also because she may have been made after 1947, the year which is used as the last manufacture date in those parts of the world that allow the sale of vintage and antique ivory. Her style is 20th century, and she may have been relatively new when your grandma bought her way back when. Mind you, ivory was still sold legally after 1947, but that is where the line is drawn. The international law for the protection of endangered species and their parts or products is called CITES. Understandable, that one is pretty recent so definitely post-CITES.:grumpy: And I'm with komo, Rebeca's is much nicer. A case of the older, the better.;)[/QUOTE]
