The term Ivory was derived from the Egyptian word ‘abu’ and Latin ‘ebur’, which means nothing but the hard, opaque, white colored tusks of animals like elephants, walrus’, hippopotamus and mammoths. As killing of elephants are banned in most countries, it is very rare and costly to get curios and jewels made out of ivory. It is interesting to note that before the age of plastics, billiard balls were actually made of ivory. Ivory has been used in countries like India to craft jewelry like bangles, rings and pendants since ancient times. In countries like India, women who are married consider wearing Ivory bangles as a symbol of sanctity.
