It is possible to resize a sterling silver ring, however in many cases it is not very cost efficient. Once you pay for the cost of the resizing, you may end up paying close to double the actual value of the ring.
Can a ruby be real in a sterling silver ring
plated sterling silver
925 indicates the purity of the silver out of a possible 1000. A purity of 925 is fairly standard because they take Fine silver (999) and add a small amount of copper to give it strength and beauty. 925 is more commonly known as "Sterling Silver". A US size 7 ring would be size N½ in Australia, Ireland and the UK.
The 925 means that the ring is sterling silver (92.5% silver with 7.5% copper). Not sure about the DQZ2 though. It might be a manufacturer's mark, but I'm not certain.
I have an old silver ring that belonged to my dad and it had "925" inscribed inside as well as "11". I found online that the "925" refers to the high quality of sterling silver (92.5% silver, the rest most likely copper) but found nothing on the "11". Today I went to a jeweler for a watch battery and took the ring with me to have it cleaned and when I asked the jeweler what the 11 meant, I was told it was mostly likely either a personal inscription of the original maker (unknown meaning) or just the SIZE, and she measure it and said it was a size 11, so that was probably it. If your ring is not a size 11, then this answer won't help, but it made sense for mine!
It may mean that the ring is made of sterling silver.
Size 8, maker is NV, 92.5% silver (Sterling silver)
5 NV means the ring is a size 5 and the NV stands for Nevada Silver but it does not come from Nevada lol its just what they called it, it is still real sterling silver
Look to see if 925 is engraved inside the ring, if it is it is made from sterling silver.
