Any help with stone in a ring?

Found this Sterling ring today. Looking for input on what type stone might be in it. Light yellow.

Probably glass... but it could be either a topaz or a citrine. Both have examples in that color range.

The other ring of course is a Girl Scouts Brownie ring.

Thanks Sage. I figured at that size it had to be a very common stone or glass.

Its probably glass but the hazy look made me think of moonstone...

Possibly Amber? Take a needle, heat it red hot, touch it to the backside of the "stone". If you smell pine, it's Amber.
