Here is what AI says about this pendant:
“The cabochon shows the warm, creamy yolk‑yellow color and soft, cloud‑like internal swirls typical of natural amber pieces marketed as “egg‑yolk” or butterscotch amber. Its overall low luster and slightly waxy appearance are consistent with fossilized tree resin rather than a faceted gem. The piece is set in an Art Nouveau sterling setting, a common historical pairing for amber jewelry.”
