<p>[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 250164, member: 2844"]An easy way to tell if it is ivory or bone on an Indian or Sri Lankan piece is the quality of the woodwork. If the type of wood and the carving are top quality, the inlay is likely to be ivory, if they are lesser quality, it is bone. Lesser quality can still be attractive, as this set is, but top quality is stunning.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
