Dear Linda, in
every time I visit the site to find a ring that I love and that I would always wear, I realize that part of your collection.
we certainly have an affinity to what we like
I used to see these faces more available. Now not as easy. I had the ring made to house the face and also due to recent changes in the laws , especially in my state it makes it now difficult to deal with these things, virtually rendering it all useless and worthless if one wanted to sell it or my daughter did , which she can not . Unless the laws change and the league of antique dealers are willing to go fight the laws, for now, this material is off limits. Obviously banning antique ivory will not stop the poaching quite opposite in fact. It will make it more likely to foster a black market and the beautiful works of art in peoples collections and investments will most likely be sold on a black market that would have been created by stupidity.
