Identify maker of heavy 8 chain necklace with triangular marks

Hello there,
Just wondering if anyone might be able to help me identify the maker of this necklace. It has 8 chains and an unusual Clasp.
The marks are a bit difficult to photograph because they’re so tiny. The first mark looks to be FA inside a triangle perhaps, or maybe FAS. Then 925, then a cross with a circle in the centre then maybe the capital letter R. I could be wrong. I’d be so grateful for some help. Thanks so much. Cheers, Michelle.

The hallmark is a London import mark with the date letter R for 1991. FA in a triangle is the sponsor's mark. It is important to emphasise that this does not identify the maker. The sponsor is the person/company who submits the piece for assay and who takes responsibility for its quality. In the case of imported items it is often, but not always, the importer. I have seen this FA mark before but have not identified it as there are no published references to help.

Thanks Phil. I really appreciate this information. Is it as an English piece from 1991?

As it was imported it cannot be English.

Ahh, sorry, of course. So 'of unknown origin'?
