This link might be a little helpful. Someone posted this that has a similar
maker's mark on 925 earrings. One person thought it was Kenny Jack (KJ) but then corrected his post. K or KJ or some other combination might be worth trying to research. Check out the comments in the following link & good luck. Very nice find.

Although Kenny Jack did indeed use a conjoined ‘KJ’ mark, those earrings are for sure not his work… nor Navajo style.
They look to be relatively modern. The 1961 amendment to the National Stamping Act of 1906 requires that articles sold in the USA made of gold or silver which are marked for quality must also be trademarked, or stamped with the full name of the maker. There’s no registered trademark in the US for that conjoined KJ, so I would suspect the earrings are foreign-made and purchased on vacation abroad, on a cruise ship, or via the internet.
Here's the same mark on another pair of earrings, which also look to be modern, and for sure not Kenny Jack’s work. I would guess that the ‘J’ stands for ‘Jewelry’ as part of a company name rather than being a silversmith’s initials.
