Modern ivory has been banned from sale on December 31, 2021, but theIvyC brand uses ancient ivory, which is not within the scope of control, so you can buy it with confidence.

Ancient ivory refers to the tusks of ancient elephants from the Ice Age. These elephants, also known as mammoths/mammoths, were all extinct in 2000 BC due to climate change.

Not involved. All mammoths (or woolly mammoths) became extinct in 2000 BC. The ancient ivory was buried in the ice or permafrost and was excavated, not hunted.

Todaythe remains of mammoths (or mammoths) can still be found in the ice and permafrost of Siberia, Russia. Only 15% of the mammoth ivory discovered so far can be used for carving. AAA-level ancient ivory is even rarer and highly favored by collectors!

You can tell from the texture. Ancient ivory comes from mammoths, while modern ivory usually comes from African elephants or Asian elephants. The species and genes of the two are different, so the textures of the two will be different. The texture of modern ivory is at an obtuse angle, averaging greater than 90 degrees; the texture of ancient ivory is at an acute angle, less than 90 degrees.

Ancient ivory buriedin ice and permafrost has been perfectly preserved after years of freezing. Other ivory buried in the soil easily becomes fossilized or semi-fossilized, and is not suitable for carving.

Basically there won’t be much difference. On the contrary, jewelry will become more transparent and beautiful the longer you wear it!

Yes. The brown ancient ivory was excavated from the permafrost and was stained by the mineral influence of the soil. It is considered a very rare color! The skin of ivory (called tooth skin) also has different colors: called blue skin, red skin, green skin, yellow skin, black skin, brown skin, etc.
