Is it legal to sell old ivory jewelry?

He must now have an official document from the US Fish & Wildlife Service to back up this claim. If so, it's legal for someone to buy and sell (morally questionable as every piece of ivory comes from a dead elephant, but legal). If the seller does not have this documentation, it's not legal.

In 2014, we shared the release of the president’s new National Strategy for Combating Wildlife Trafficking, which spelled out how the government would crack down on poachers and other criminals who have driven hundreds of species to the brink of collapse. While the strategy was a move in the right direction, we still have more work to do to truly make buying and selling ivory illegal. The Strategy’s headline is a set of new rules designed to help elephants – combined, the government is calling these new rules a “ban” on imports, exports, and sales of ivory here in the United States. We’re hedging a little on the word “ban” because there’s still some leeway for a few types of ivory, but the overall effect—if written into law—will be about as close as possible to an across-the-board prohibition. Keep in mind that it will take some hard work to make sure these rules stay as strong as the president has proposed between now and when they become final, but here’s what you need to know:

If you don’t remember anything else, hang on to these two facts:

First, the rules DO NOT make it illegal to own or inherit ivory. Second, if you can’t prove it’s old, it is no longer legal to buy or sell a piece of ivory in the US. The first point is pretty straightforward: The government does not care if you have a piano, a gun with an ivory handle, a carved tusk or any other ivory item, as long as you obtained it legally in the first place. You can display it in your front window or pass it down to your heirs, or even give it to a friend as a gift. If you move, you can bring it with you, too. On the second point: Say you walk into a store and see an ivory item for sale. You ask the storekeeper when it was made, and he assures you that it’s plenty old. But that won’t be good enough with the new rules. He must now have an official document from the US Fish & Wildlife Service to back up this claim. If so, it’s legal for someone to buy and sell (morally questionable as every piece of ivory comes from a dead elephant, but legal). If the seller does not have this documentation, it’s not legal. Things get a little tricky because there are slightly different rules for intrastate (within a state) and interstate (between states) commerce, but in both cases anyone selling ivory now needs real, legitimate proof. For travelers, if you’re trying to bring a piece of ivory into the country from overseas, think twice. That means no antiques, no bangles you bought at a market in Africa, no carved chopsticks. There are exceptions for household moves, museum or scientific specimens, instruments within an orchestra, and a few other non-commercial imports, but the rule of thumb is, if you’re planning to wear it, sell it, or show it off to your neighbors, it won’t make it past the border. Ivory exports are now limited to proven antiques and a short list of non-commercial items that are still allowed.

Carved Sperm Whale Tooth (Scrimshaw)

This engraved Sperm Whale Tooth with a farewell maritime scene comes from the collection of the Scottish Fisheries Museum in Anstruther (Fife). The art of engraving designs on to the teeth, bones or baleen of sperm whales and other marine mammals is called a scrimshaw. It was a common pastime of sailers on long whaling voyages. Sperm whales have 23 pairs of teeth which were particularly prized for scrimshaw. After extraction, the teeth were scraped smooth and polished. The design could be engraved freehand or copied using a template. The 3D model was created by the Scottish Maritime Museum as a part of the Scanning The Horizon project, working with collections from Industrial Museums Scotland (Go Industrial).
