∙ 8y agoElephant ivory is very valuable. Small items, such as bracelets or necklaces, which are smaller than the palm of your hand, can be worth about $100-150. Bigger items can be $200-250.

In most countries of the world it is now illegal to import/export or sell animal ivory (including elephant) objects. The exception is that the Ivory has to be provable to be ancient ivory (it has to have a CITES certificate).
I would therefore suggest that you ivory is worthless as you could never sell it legally.

∙ 8y agoDoesn't really matter, since all trade in ivory - which tusks are made of - is banned to protect the elephants from poaching.
Only ivory that's legal to buy and own is antique pieces, and it's really hard to set an average price on that.

∙ 9y agoElephants tusk & any artifact related to them are forbidden to trade today after is has been in 1989 but all pieces of elephant ivory before 1989 are legal to trade but if you wish to export them out of your country you should have cites certificate for it otherwise it will be stuck at the custom.
The price of carved elephant ivory tusk is depends onh the age of the tusk , condition & of course the size of it - it can start from $300 - $20,000.

∙ 11y agoDoesn't really matter, as there's an international ban on trading in them to protect elephants from poaching. The only ones that are legal to trade in are ones classified as antiques - if you dare to trust such a document.
Depending on the country, between 2 an life imprisonment.
