    Here's another bracelet that I don't know the name of the stones for. The only yellow stones I can find are cat's eye and tiger eye, but these don't look quite like those to me?

    Besides a really tiny obscure 925 mark (again I didn't find it until I was taking pics - they are on the loops of the clasp where it is attached to the bracelet - you can barely see one in the second picture), there is also another mark but I can't get anything out of, but maybe it is recognizable to someone who knows what they're doing?

    Amber. Beautiful egg yolk amber, most likely Baltic. That rough cavity on the back of one of the stones is good, a sign that it is natural amber.
    My guess is Poland, no specific Polish marks, which means pretty recent. Polish silversmiths love the Art Nouveau style, which is why a lot of their jewellery looks older than it actually is. Always very nice quality.
    Don't know when they started using the 925 mark, maybe 1990s.

    Same here. I'm not as sure of the country where the silver was made, but that's egg yolk amber.

    I agree with "any jewelry". Very nice piece. Note that there is very little wear on the links. That all the links are soldered shows that it is a serious piece and definitely a keeper.
