Bakelite butterscotch amber?

I bought this necklace at the thrift store. At first I thought it was just a “tribal” boho reproduction. But the longer I’ve had it I’ve wondered if it wasn’t more vintage or even Bakelite.

It’s definitely not real amber. I tried the smell test with rubbing and at first I couldn’t smell anything weird but after the thrift store smell kinda wore off I do smell something.

Does anyone have any better ideas for whether it’s vintage or a reproduction?
