Unique Mark on old silver earrings

Post by Tammietired »

I cannot find this mark anywhere. I couldn't figure out how to make the pics small enough to fit so here are the links. Thanks.

It looks like it says 925K which I've seen used on Turkish jewelry. They don't look very old though, definite 1980's style to them.

Do you mean the letter "K" in English or a Turkish letter "K" ? Because it def. doesn't look like an actual English "K" to me.

I'm not sure what mark they use. I just happened to recently come across something that mentioned 925K which sounded odd to me since K means Karat which is a gold measure. I did some searching and all the pieces that were listed as 925K came from Turkey.
