Does anyone know if it's okay to travel wearing personal ivory jewellery?

Yes, you can wear, own it, gift it, but you can not sell it.

I personnally would avoid crossing borders with ivory jewelry.
Countries members of CITES prohibit importation and exportation of elephant ivory, unless you have a special authorization (for scientific purposes).
So you run the risk of having your ivory items confiscated by customs, even if you claim they are your personal property.
