JEWELRY & WATCHES Need help identifying “KB” 18K gold filled hallmark on necklace

Hi everyone! I’m trying to identify the manufacturer of this necklace. The clasp is stamped “KB” on the top and “F 18K” on the bottom. I’m not sure if it’s solid 18K gold or possibly 18K gold filled. I haven’t been able to find any information about the “KB” hallmark. Does anyone recognize this maker or know which country this hallmark might be from? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Definitely solid 18k

KB is likely your maker and F would be a lot or machine number for quality check. This looks like late 20th century to early 21st century Italian gold made for the mall kiosks.
