I think I found some treasure...How/where to get it valued?

Before anyone starts shouting about the Treasure Act, it's not that sort of treasure!
I bought a large (77 g) yellow bead necklace in a junk/vintage shop a few days ago. I know a little bit about vintage jewellery and initially wondered if it might be Bakelite, however now I'm pretty sure it is egg yolk Baltic Amber. Does anyone have any idea where I could go that would be able to confirm this for me (specialist auctioneers?) and provide me a reliable value please? and cross your fingers for me as this could really help with the fuel bills if real!

An antique jewellery shop would help. Loads in Brighton South lanes, but sure you can find some locally to you if you're not near there

Take it to a good antique jewellers and they’ll give you a valuation on it.

My sister had some costume jewellery professionally cleaned and valued for insurance at the same time? (Hers also turned out to be real amber and worth a pretty penny - 🤞 for you)
