    I have some jewelry that belonged to my mother's family, but I'm unsure what the letters are etc. so I know who they belonged to, any help very much appreciated. I showed rotated views as well, since I know very little about monograms or actually reading them. I also showed the mark on back of the cufflink, does anyone recognize it, or can you tell me who or what it says?

    does the makers mark say F.P.S. ? i'm not finding it yet in any databases/lists. Or is it a quality mark?

    Could it be ERS?

    I just googled this ...14k cufflink +"F.P.S." ...and came up with a few hits, seems this is an American maker. (some on page 2 etc too)

    What about the initials on fronts? I wondered if the necklace might say JML? not sure if another initial or not

    Looks like the same initials on all the pieces.

    Does it? I wasn't sure at all..... mom's gr aunt was Jennie Maude Lord = JML, that's why I wondered if the pendant at least might be hers...

    They could all be JML. On the cufflinks, think the L is in the middle, a common way to do monograms, with the surname initial in the center.

    Yes, I just read a page about the different orders of letters in monograms.

    Aquitaine Is What It IS! But NEVER BORED!

    Yep, F.P.S. look absolutely correct! But I think I'm seeing JML on the necklace, and different on the cufflinks....although they are harder to pull apart!!! The middle initial I see as two 'J's' (green & blue) with an intertwined (if I'm reading my letters correctly) 'J & C' (red) then an extra smaller 'C' (pink) at the end?? Maybe they are from different times as well??? OOOOPS....let me make that a bit smaller......and sorry, my hand's not as stable as it once was!!

    Maybe WHK or WHR on this one (again, reading from left to right).

    Not at all sure.
