Ivory jewelry purchased from gem palace within the last 15 years

Does anyone know if gem palace purchased legally acquired ivory that was registered. Meaning only cutting off end of tusks, no harm to elephants.

Any feedback is appreciated.

You think that cutting off the tusks is no harm to the elephant?

I would assume that any ivory was illegally acquired.

There is no way I would buy anything in ivory at this time and try to bring it into the USA. Even century-old and older ivory (no matter how obvious the antique item is) must have expensive government supplied paperwork to make it legal to buy, sell or transport it from state to state.

Not worth the risk IMO.
