I'd have to respectfully totally disagree with the poster who said "NS" on a gold chain means rolled gold... Rolled gold is usually marked as such: 10k, 14krgp (10 or 14 is the karat, rgp is rolled gold plate).
I've seen many NS marks, one is in a sideways diamond shape or like a pennant. There is an old company "National Silver" that made gold over sterling necklaces, I'm not sure if that's the one you have because I have no visual, but initials, letters, rather usually NEVER tell gold content, that's usually a number10,12,14, or 18 k etc, with gf or hge, rgp, etc.
I've only seen letters signify the maker of the piece, not the gold content, unless it's preceded by a number and karat like above, like 14ktgf or 18khge, initials are always makers marks!
How this helped a little! Sorry i couldn't totally answer your question, but start with Lang university or other jewelry makers research sites... 925-1000 . is an AMAZING resource for silver items!! Try Lang university there's a wealth of information there, too!
Be well!

What does a 14KMG mark on a gold chain mean?
I believe this is the mark of MG Co., Ltd., a jewelry findings company in Korea. I also have a chain with both endcaps marked 14kmg (c) and my search led me to their site. It just indicates that they made the endcaps and, I assume, the lobster claw clasp.

My guess is the chain is 10K and the other mark is probably a maker's mark of some sort. I tried looking up the mark on the internet and didn't come up with anything. That's what makes me think it is a maker's mark instead of a standard industry mark (like HGE).
