As far as value, these beads are getting pricey - you can check closed auctions on eBay - but somewhere between $10-25 per bead is not unusual. The larger the bead, the more it will sell for. I saw a recent closed auction for a 36 mm round that went for $44. A nice graduated strand like yours may fetch about $1000. What is the size of the largest bead?
Search "african amber" and "copal amber" - the latter term is completely incorrect since the beads are not copal, but this term unfortunately is used in the antique bead world.
Good luck with your beads! I would keep them, wear them & love them!
