What does 925 mean inside my gold ring?

Your ring was probably made in England or another country that doesn't use our standards. In USA we mark items with KT such as 18KT. Your ring is probably 22KT gold. it is gold plated sterling silver In the UK we do not use 925 on gold or silver. We use a 'Hallmark' that is for every area of the UK from which it was made. This is helpful when 'pricing' antiques as the hallmark identifies the area, manufacturer and era from which it originated.

The main difference between 22 ct and 24 ct gold is the purity level. 24 ct gold is pure gold, which is 99.9% pure, while 22 ct gold is 91.7% pure with the remaining 8.3% being other metals like copper or silver. This means that 24 ct gold is softer and more malleable compared to 22 ct gold, which is more durable but slightly less pure.
