Featured Help with marking on a pendant please

Hello,

I've bought this pendant when I didn't have any magnifying glass on me thinking that I will be able to read the signature at home... wrong, I can't figure it out at all, with or without magnifying glass.. I think the first name starts with a K and the year may be 1989 or 1990s, but nothing else.. and no luck looking it up on google..
By any chance, does anybody recognize the signature ? Thank you !

 

Thank you so, so much, I would have never find it by myself !

Dolphins.. and I've searched for holding hands.. ha ha..

 

Good one @i need help. !

That link didn't work for me (and couldn't read the whole name) , so I looked up another. Etsy (his mark is actually legible on this piece)

Ken Kenneth Kantro Dolphin sterling silver necklace signed modernist

Thank you,@scoutshouse !

 

Yes, it does - maybe he decided to up his game and created a swanky, illegible one ?

@Xristina s is a better design, imo

 

Your link the name was done with an electric engraving machine by hand,the OP's piece the name was stamped.

 

Looks like he marked this one two ways. Damariscotta(?) Is in Maine

If it was an Elsa Peretti I'd be more concerned.

I'm ok with his fluctuating marks.

 

@Xristina

I was just comparing two designers whose minimalist jewelry could be easily reproduced, not knocking your Kantro piece in any way. Her heart motif was so extremely popular in the 70s, versions of it were available at Mervyn's, etc.

I'm glad I'm not the only one, @KSW !
