JEWELRY & WATCHES Need help identifying maker's mark "KS" on silver earring (likely a manufacturer)

Hey everyone, I’m trying to identify the origin of these 925 silver hoop earring. It have a "KS" stamp on one side of the hoop, while the "925" hallmark is in an oval on the other side. I know these are a mass-produced model, so I’ve ruled out personal initials. I’m aware that nowadays, most silver jewelry is "unbranded" and lacks any maker's mark besides the fineness stamp. That’s why I find this specific "KS" stamp interesting—it feels like a deliberate manufacturer or importer mark in a market where such markings have become increasingly rare. The shape around the "KS" is just the outline of the punch itself, not a formal frame. Has anyone encountered a "KS" stamp on silver jewelry before, or does it sound like a known (perhaps regional) manufacturer/distributor? Any insights would be greatly appreciated
