Sterling means that an item is solid silver of a certain quality, not plated.
325 sterling is not a standard marking. It is more likely that the jeweler stamped the piece poorly so the "925" that should have been marked looks like a "325". Also, by definition sterling is 925 parts per 1000 silver. No other alloy of silver is allowed to be marked or offered as sterling.
According to policy and practice, 925 sterling silver must have be marked 925 on the item.
