    To all my Orchid friends: A customer brought in a WWII era ivory
    bracelet from Burma requiring repairs.  The oiece is made up of
    seven carved ivory squares linked together by ivory jump rings. 
    These jump rings aren't carved as a solid circle, they are seamed
    like a metal jump ring which has not been soldered would be.  Two of
    these jump rings are missing.  Does anyone have any idea how to make
    a jump ring out of ivory? I would love to help this man- the
    bracelet was his late wife's, and it has enormous sentimental value. 

    any help is much appreciated, 

Cindy
