I bought this necklace last week in a thrift shop. Is this Ivory or bone?
I can not recognize it. (There is a necklace with the same shape beads for sale on a local website as Ivory)

The darker areas say "Bone" to me, but.....!!
I vote ivory, I see lines and smooth yellowing, no evidence of blood vessels marks

Really pretty necklace, with quality carvind!
Here are two links helping in identification of ivory: ;-D

I'm on board with ivory. Color & growth lines are consistent. These are not beads, but does let you see carved ivory, how it ages & some let you see the growth lines.
