Hi,
I am not an expert on the matter but can offer some information. The value of the silver content on any given day is based upon the market price of silver; can fluctuate daily. The percentage of silver in sterling silver is .925. Conveniently, the number 925 is frequently used to hallmark sterling silver. FYI, pure silver is generally described as .999. For something like a ring, you would have find out the weight of the ring, most likely in grams, multiply it by the market price for a gram silver and multiply it again by .925 to determine the value of the actual silver content. Market prices for silver are customarily quoted troy ounces; 1 troy ounce =31.1 grams.
Of course, the value of a ring is determined by more than the value of the raw materials that make up it's construction. Comparing prices for similar items in the market place to get a sense of the going rates is a good idea.

The NV stamped inside of your ring means that it is from the Nevada Silver Mines, and therefor must be Sterling!
It should be Sterling Electroplated and 14 should be ring size.

There are two reasons a ring could be stamped with 14k and 925 1) The ring is made from both 14k gold and Sterling Silver (925). 2) The ring is made from Vermeil which can be made from 14k gold thickly plated over Sterling Silver.

It means it is sterling silver made in Taxco, Mexico

925 is a standard marking for Sterling Silver, thus making it a silver ring, not gold.
It means it's Sterling Silver (925), and the SUN is the stamp for the manufacturer
the base ring is made and stones are set in in china and the .925 means that it is coated with sterling silver
