maybe some others have questions about this, maybe not, but it's something i want to know.

i recently aquired some antique ivory blanks. they came from an estate from the '20s. not sure what kind of ivory it is.

they're not big pieces, but big enough to do some cool stuff with. my first project is earrings (i swear i started these before BK posted his.) and i was thinking of doing a whakarehu shaped earring.

is this appropriate for women to wear? is ivory an appropriate material?

i could always do other designs.

mahalo!
