Is it legal to own animal ivory within the UK?
It makes a difference what kind of ivory it is, where it originated, how old it is, where and when it was imported. It is important to have documentation for your ivory if you intend to sell it or travel with it. Under current US Federal laws, you may own, buy, sell, or trade ivory that is over 100 years old within your state. Because state laws vary - buying, selling, trading, or even traveling with ivory intrastate might be illegal. International importing and/or exporting is complicated, requires complex documentation, is only legal for ivory over 100 years old, and might not be permitted with certain countries.

How is ivory obtained?
There are several ways that ivory is obtained. One is by killing animals like elephants for their tusks and walrus for their tusks. Another is to find fossilized ivory left from animals dead for millions of years. Each type of ivory has a different color to it and texture. For instance the African elephant ivory has more a yellow cream shade to it than the Asian elephant ivory. The Asian elephant ivory is a bright white. The walrus ivory tends toward the yellow brown shades and fossilized ivory is often light brown to dark brown. Today very few bull elephants live past 3-4 years old because they are killed for their ivory and it is hard to find an older bull elephant with a full set of tusks since they have all ready been killed by poachers and hunters.

Can you sell ivory beads?
No. In many countries including the United States, selling ivory is illegal. Also, do not export ivory. That is highly illegal too. Sorry, but the above answer is wrong.

How strong is the elephant tusk?
Usually in mammals tusks are enlarged canine teeth but in elephants they are actually elongated incisors. Tusks are essentially no different from other teeth. A third of the tusk is actually hidden from view, embedded deep into the elephant's head. This part of the tusk is a pulp cavity made up of tissue, blood and nerves. The visible, ivory part of the tusk is made of dentine with an outer layer of enamel. Elephant ivory is unique which when viewed in cross-section reveals criss-cross lines that form a series of diamond shapes. Elephants tusk never stop growing so some old bulls display enormous examples. However the average size of tusks has decreased over the past hundred years because hunting elephants for their ivory has resulted in the 'big tusk gene' becoming increasingly rare.
