I hate to say this, but I have seen a lot of mothers that wear their child's first tooth as a pendant. I always thought it rather strange, but if it makes them happy...

In my country it's a consolidated tradition to set the son 1st tooth in a little gold pendant but hardly mothers wear it, mostly it will be stored as a memory. i would hardly compare it to the stuffs posted :?
ciao

hi Alberto:

Only modern Elephant ivory trade is banned. Mammoth ivory is legal and widely used its still very much a pain to cross borders with, but doable.
