These three rings are made of natural bone, recognizable by their characteristic surface structure – subtle parallel striations and so-called “schreger” lines, which are formed due to the unique direction of the material’s fibers. The color is a soft cream, with a natural yellowish patina, testifying to its age and organic origin. The surface is smooth, retaining the natural luster of ivory. Today, such authentic bone products are collector’s items. The market value depends on the state of preservation, age and origin – small rings of this type can be valued among collectors at around 30-60 EUR per piece, and sets are more expensive.
