I understand the laws that are in place and the restrictions here in the UK on selling ivory. I know for sure that this necklace is definately not modern ivory and would have been produced and acquired long before the ban came into play. To my knowledge it’s circa 1900’s, possibly even older. My question is how do I go about getting this certified as antique ivory so that I am able to sell? Also what do you think the value of this would be - is it worth even worrying about if it’s not going to be worth anything significant, I may just as well keep it....I’d also love to know the true age of this piece but unfortunately the clasp is not the original as I know that could have helped determine its age. I have heard that there are tell take signs that can indicate the age of ivory , so any info on the above would be great[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
