what an interesting find Brenda! Your local jewelry can test the gold purity for you. You might like to send in an image in a follow-up submission, without an image of the mark, it's impossible to provide a definitive identification - there are many initial marks, that do look similar. After you determine the gold content (and provide images) you might like to have your item appraised by the jewelry experts.
Happy Hunting! Yvonne

I have a KK chain by: Brenda, Ma.
Recently I went to Texas to visit my son who is in the military. While I was there I went to a second hand store and purchased some old costume jewelry in a zip lock bag. In the bag was a "gold" pocket watch chain with the letters KK not touching, on the clasp. It is an old chain and looks like 18K gold but there are no other marks.
The links on each end are soldered closed so they can't be pulled apart. I was very excited when I read about the KK mark on Anonymous's bracelet clasp. I plan to have my chain tested for sure now to see if it is gold. Thanks.

KK on Bracelet by: Anonymous
Hi thanks for writing in...
would you happen to have anymore information or any history on this bracelet? Do you know where/how your Mum acquired it? The initials, "KK" on the gold bracelet clasp are the initials of the firm or the individual who registered the mark.
Without having the benefit of a photo it's pretty much all speculation, however, if it helps, the initials K K facing this same direction as this - K K, with the letters close together but not touching, are the initial marks of the - KUZMA KONOV (Gold & Silver Smiths, St. Petersburg, Russia) - ca 1890s - 1917.
