When it comes to ivory, all friends who collect it know that they tend to be complacent about their exquisite ivory carvings. Because of its precious, superior products and huge appreciation space, ivory once became a luxury art ornament and collection for dignitaries.

In the face of such a ban on buying and selling, if we ignore it, collecting and selling ivory and ivory carvings will not only be sanctioned by law, but also condemned by public opinion, and eventually people and money will be exhausted. Still the familiar sentence:? No business, no killing? .
