question on silver beads

Started polishing some pieces yesterday and had these 2 necklaces with silver beads. No marks or stamps on either one and I was wondering if sterling silver beads are not marked. Each piece did polish up but not sure if silver beads ever do get stamp...

Another brooch, old, can you ID maker by unusual construction?

This is a very old multi piece brooch with a very unusual back. Measures almost 3" x 2-1/2".Any idea who the maker might be? Age thoughts? Thank you!

Nicer earrings signed "KY" . Gold over 925. New-ish, maybe 90s? Any idea who?

Kind of a long shot. Any idea of maker? Signed "KY" in a box. Both stamped 925, so thinking gold wash over sterling. They are pierced with a mechanism that closes over the ear. Kind of remind me of Dior style earrings. They were from a sale at an exp...
