I tried a barely damp (with water) Q-tip and the cotton turned very pale brown, which I assume is dirt. (I bought the necklace at an estate sale and it needs a cleaning.) Same result with ammonia. I'm a bit taken aback by these results because I had assumed the necklace was not amber. Rosanna, are these tests conclusive?

Your results indicate that it’s a plastic other than phenolic resin, or maybe real amber --- Rosanna ( 2019-09-06 23:18 )
