I have a gold plated sterling silver ring that a jeweler told me was indicated by the 925 stamped inside. I didn't think to ask if the 925 mark was indicative of any other criteria. And That's What I Know!!!
925 lets you know that it's sterling silver. Sterling silver by definition is a silver alloy containing 92.5% silver by weight and 7.5% by weight of some other metal, commonly copper, zinc, or platinum, which help give the silver strength (since pure silver metal is generally too soft for producing functional objects), retain ductility, and prevent corrosion (tarnish). Sterling silver is said to have a fineness of 925, which is the number of parts per thousand of pure metal by weight. Pure silver has a fineness of 999.
LIND would be the maker/manufacturer's initials.
For silver to be sterling, it must be 92.5% silver content, the rest being copper for strength (jewelry). Therefore, when you see 925 on a ring, it is sterling silver.
The silver content is .925
