    They don't look like the same mark to me, but I have no idea how fussy the quality control is.

    I don't know much about Anne Klein jewellery, but I don't believe for one minute the mark would be as sloppy as on kard's bangle.
    The entire execution is not as good as the example inh posted. And blobs.:(

    I've got some AK, it's well made. Having said that, it's not expensive enough to fake.

    I agree with Bear. I have a ton of Anne Klein. Later pieces are not as well-made as earlier pieces. I tried googling to see if her jewelry was first manufactured in the USA with production moving to overseas, I can't find that info. I do know this was the case with Kirks Folly- I own many early pieces made in the USA. There definitely is a difference in quality.

    I guess that’s good news for Kard, but a sad state of affairs for quality and workmanship. :(

    Thanks for the replies.
    It’s supposed to be an early mark but at the same time casting quality is on the poor side. And then, why fake something that’s not of a great value?

    I realize that in casting and stamping things can vary, but honestly, I don't even think it's the same font.

    I know nothing about AK jewelry, though, so there's that.

    Anne Klein did that textured backing on her jewelry, too. I vote Anne Klein.

    I'm suddenly sad about a jewelry line where I previously had zero feelings. :p
