I recently bought an 18 inch strand of 7 1/2 mm pearls at an estate sale.
They have a 14k clasp (fishook clasp?) and has the hallmark IWI stamped on the hook.
Does anyone have any idea what this means?

Sure it's not the relief of a M?

I am fairly sure...it is next to the 14k stamp and it would have to be turned upside down to be IMI, but I am not familar with jewelry at all.......
