Elforyn® bangle with diamonds in rose gold
Elforyn – substitute for ivory
When developing Elforyn, great importance was placed on the exact reproduction of the characteristic properties of ivory. The researchers have thus succeeded in developing a material whose structure is more than 89% identical to ivory.
Elforyn lends itself to the same uses as its natural counterpart, including intricate carving, instrument making, luxurious furniture and jewelry, such as the Elforyn Diamond Bangle by RENÉSIM.
When exposed to black light, Elforyn fluoresces – a phenomenon that can also be observed in ivory.
The fact that this alternative to ivory is largely mineral-based also ensures a high level of environmental compatibility.
Species protection thanks to Elforyn
Ivory has been highly valued for thousands of years and is used to make artistic objects. The art of ivory carving flourished especially in China and Japan. The precious material was obtained primarily from elephant tusks, but also from the teeth of hippos and whales.
Due to the immense demand for ivory, elephants in Africa were increasingly threatened with extinction. In response, an international ban on the trade in ivory was introduced in 1989.
Thanks to the development of Elforyn, it is possible to create pieces of jewelry that have all the positive properties of ivory and avoid its negative aspects. The soft ivory-like shimmer is particularly effective when combined with diamonds or precious colored gemstones .
