From the surface of real ivory, we can see that there are typical cross-ribbed grid patterns (diamond grid patterns), and the size of the grid patterns does not change much (from the root to the tip, the diamond grid is from large to small).

Furthermore, from the inner layer of ivory, there will be concentric growth lines similar to trees, but this identification feature is only effective when identifying raw materials.

In addition, ivory has a typical milky white, and ordinary bone powder pressed products are mostly miserable white.

The appearance of ivory is good or bad: the finer the structure, the whiter the color, and the better the ivory near the cusp (the ivory at the cusp has the finest texture).

Ivory jewelry is expensive, so it should be distinguished from bone carving jewelry when purchasing. The following is a simple identification method:

(1) Check by weight

Jewelry of the same size, tooth carving is heavier than bone carving.

(2) Differentiate from bone.

Ivory is fine in texture and has tiny ripples on it; The texture of the bone is very rough, and the lines on it are very thick. Ivory products are oily and shiny; Bone products look very dry.

(3) Process identification

Ivory jewelry is finely crafted, while bone carving jewelry is generally rough.

(4) from the color point of view

Tooth carving jewelry is often ivory white, while bone carving jewelry is mostly bleached. Even if some tooth carving jewelry is bleached, it gives people a feeling of oily white, while bone carving jewelry looks dry after bleaching.

Some people use plastic to imitate ivory products, which can be distinguished from the lines, and there are often traces of mold on them.
