  1. First of all, we should understand the nature of ivory. It is generally pale yellow with high hardness and good gloss. Pay attention to the difference between it and the bone product and artificial ivory. Specifically, you should pay attention to the following aspects when identifying. Look at the weight. The same size jewelry, the weight of the ivory is obviously heavier than the bone -made of the bone, and the artificial ivory accessories. Look at the bone. The texture of the ivory is delicate, and there are small ripples on the top; in contrast, the production texture of bone products is rough, and the texture on the top is also thick. The artificial ivory pattern is not easy to see. Look at gloss. Ivory jewelry is oily and bright, and the bone jewelry is dry. Although the gloss of the artificial ivory jewelry is better than the bone products, it is not as good as ivory products. Look at the color. Ivory jewelry is often white, while bone carvings are mostly bleached. Some ivory jewelry even bleach, giving people a moist and white feeling, and bone carved jewelry is dry after bleaching. Look at work. Ivory jewelry is precise, while the workmanship of the bone carved jewelry is relatively rough, while artificial ivory accessories often leave mold traces.

    In imitation products, Buye is the most common and effective ivory imitation material. The imitation will press the plastic into thin slices to imitate the stripes of the ivory cutting surface. However, this kind of stripes are much more rules than ivory, and they cannot produce "Retzius" patterns, which can be easily distinguished from this. In addition, common imitation is bone products and Dum palm nuts. Of course, as long as you are careful, you can easily find the difference between them.

    The dense bone products are similar to the appearance, refractive index, and proportion of ivory, but their structures are different. Animal skeleton has an empty gravity structure. These thin tubes on the cross section are manifested as circular or oval, and they are used as lines on the longitudinal surface. These structures are more obvious when dirt penetrates into the empty pipe. The hardness, refractive index and fluorescent characteristics of Dum palm nuts are similar to ivory, but the horizontal cutting surface is hive -like structure, which shows a parallel thick straight line, and the lines also have cell structure. The proportion of nuts is about 1.4, which is lower than ivory. Soak in sulfuric acid, ivory does not fade, and nuts are rose tone, which is easy to dye.

    Is for the valuation, we can still start from the color. Ivory is rare or pure white, translucent, densely tough, fine texture, and high quality. value. Generally speaking, the ivory texture produced in Africa is delicate, with fine texture on the cross section, while the texture of Asia is loose and soft, and the color is easy to turn yellow. From the perspective of the concept of rare collection, the ivory of the material is up, the African ivory is the middle, and the Asian ivory is the bottom. Divided into three or six nine.
