"Hong Kong Ivory" - What is it? Where does it come from? Is it Real Ivory?

• Sometimes called "Synthetic Ivory" or "Mandarin Ivory" it does not come from elephants, and therefore is perfectly legal to own and sell. It also does not harm any animals or endangered species.
• Ox bone is the most used substance, ground into a fine powder and mixed in with synthetic resins specially formulated to give the look, feel and weight of real ivory.
• The basic shapes of the finished products are then cast, hand carved to the final design, and then hand painted so each piece is a hand carved unique product.
• Not only does this process protect all endangered animals from harm, but results in a beautiful work of art at very affordable prices.
