Amazing natural certified humane ivory. Hand cast solid 18kt gold Bothisattva beads and end beads with inlaid rubies, all from India . (Note: On the animal reserves they put the teenage elephants to sleep and humanely remove their ivory. This deters the would be poachers from killing the elephants to get their ivory. The reserve then sells the humane ivory to help pay for the care of the animals) The ivory beads are very rare.
