These are what is called the "Hallmark". All silver articles made in Britain have to have a Hallmark. It identifies where it was made and the year of making. It is a complicated system, there are books written about it. I'm sure you can get details from Google as well. Further answer: when you specified an "old sterling silver ring", I assumed it was British, but of course it might have come from elsewhere. Other countries have their own systems of hallmarking. A useful site is "www.925-1000.com" which gives details of the marks of many countries as well as Britain, so you should be able to find what you have on your ring.
