"A jewelry maker can take advantage of changes in the state of silver by melting the silver down."
"DJN" are initials of the craftsman/jewelry maker, likely a Native American artist.
925 is the silver content, sterling silver. Hct is the maker. 925 is the purity of the silver. 92.5 % fine silver which is Sterling Silver. The extra % is other materials added for strength and usability.
HCT is the maker of the jewelry
Maker's mark (also called a Jeweler's Touch) for jewelry made by Sai Krishna of India.
JPK is Celtic jewelry maker
Could be a manufacturer's stamp, name and lamp style number. Gim is a lamp maker. 925 is a silver jewelry mark for sterling, not pure silver.

RJ could be the maker's initials. 925 means that the metal fitness is 925 out of 1000. that means that it is real silver, that is the number used for silver, like on tiffany's jewlery it says 925 if it is real silver

Have a ring RJ 8 marked inside. The 8 refers to ring size. Am searching RJ myself.
Sterling silver will have what is called a hallmark on it, usually on an inner edge. It will be like three or four small punched emblems, which represent the maker, date etc. In England, silver objects without the hallmark should not even be called silver, but by the name 'white metal'.
this likely is an AR italian maker off jewelry peice not sure makers name .. The number 1517 is most likely the # of the peice of jewelry.. or possible date mark but i believe number of peice..if you see another number on peice it will tell you if you have silver or gold..925 would be sterling silver... 585 would be 14k gold
