925 is the fineness in percent of the silver or gold, so it is almost pure gold (925 out of 1000.) The dqcz will probably be the stamp of the manufacturer - it should also have what is known as a Hallmark, which would identify the year of its manufacture. hv I do not recognise, it may be an obscure abbreviation to denote that it is only gilded (gold plated) not pure gold. China does not follow international rules concerning the stamps for identification and description of items made of gold, silver, other precious metals or those which are simply plated.
In addition, the Chinese' idea of what constitutes 92.5% gold does not concur with Western standards. Their gold is usually of poor quality, recycled with many impurities (hence the small imperfections which appear and get worse and worse as the metal rots, the more you wear the object) and their products are more often only gold-plated, not pure gold. One way to check it is the specific weight of the ring v. the equivalent specific weight of a piece of gold. Yours should be 0.75% lighter than the gold.
There is so much fake "gold" stuff - including jewellery, coins and medallions, which has been coming out of China with the government's sanction over the past 8 years that I wouldn't touch such Chinese "gold" rings or anything else, with a bargepole.
If you intend selling it, have it valued by a jeweller first, to avoid a legal action by the buyer for fraud.
All in all, you get what you pay for. If you see a Chinese "gold" ring being sold on eBay (a true viper's nest for Chinese fraudsters) for $10 and a gold ring of similar weight being sold in your local jeweller's store for $600 then the answer is obvious.

∙ 9y agoThe .925 stands for Sterling Silver. Pure Sterling, 92.5%, will always be stamped .925, even if it it Gold Plated. The DQ stands for Diamonique Quality, which means it was purchased at QVC. The CZ is Cubic Zirconia. So it's a Sterling (or gold over sterling) earring with fake stones.

What does 925 AU stamped in a ring mean?
I had the same question. And there seems to be some contradiction in AU. I have found a maker of the name Archibald Ure a silver and gold smith from Edinburgh, Scotland 1700-1730. However, I don’t believe the earrings I have, and are marked 925 AU c, are from 1700s. I haven‘t found any other makers with the copyright AU yet.
