    It is artificial amber from the Himalayan region. We've had these before. Will try to find.

    Agree, Himalayan faux amber.
    Did you test them?

    @Any Jewelry Glad you popped in, was hoping you would.

    A simple acid test can be positive for silver with a fineness less than 925, the definition of sterling. Usually these are more like 800.
