As the only source of ivory is from the tusks of elephants, the trade in ivory has been a big contributor to why elephants have been heavily poached, and in some areas actually all killed off. And since it's really hard to tell if a piece of ivory is old enough to be from the time when hunting elephants was seen as OK, or if it s from an animal that has been recently poached, the simple solution to avoid dealing with parts of poached animals is not to deal in ivory at all - and that's a complete ban on (trading in) ivory.

The ivories on organ keys is very thin. In most cases it is less than 1/16 inch. If one were to use it in jewelry making it would either have to be part of a larger piece or a very small ornament. Ivory has been banned for some time now. Bone and synthetics have been in use since.
Yes. Elephants are hunted mainly for their tusks, called ivory. Ivory is made into silverware handles, jewelry, and other household extravagances.
