Yes, ivory tends to yellow over time due to exposure to light, air, and environmental factors. This discoloration occurs as the organic compounds in the ivory break down and oxidize. Additionally, the accumulation of dirt and oils can contribute to the yellowing effect. The extent of yellowing can vary based on the specific conditions and age of the ivory.
