Knoll & Pregizer KP Earrings Back
On the screwback it is marked Germany Sterling 935 KP and a letter P. The letters P & M appear on several different jewels I own and have no idea what they mean. Because of the hallmarks, these were able to be sold in Europe or exported to the US and Canada.

A caveat. If you hate screwbacks (which I do) and ever desire to have your earrings converted to pierced (which I have) I BEG of you, get the screwback fittings back from the jeweler and keep them in the same box with the earrings and a a note that you had them replaced. An expert jeweler can always put the screwback on. More KP earrings have probably been lost to posterity due to conversions. The fitting is where 95% of the time the jewel is marked with metal content and makers mark...rarely on the jewel itself. Authentic earrings from this time frame whether fine jewelry or faux were made with screwback fittings. Pierced went out of fashion, especially with long hanging heavy deco earrings.
