"ND" before the 925 (ND 925) is more indicative of "Norwegan Design"...perhaps a piece made by Anna Gretta Ekker. However, there is usually a more extensive hallmark or signature that would give you additional information.

If the "ND" is after the 925 (925 ND) it is most likely a piece produced in Bangkok, Thailand by (or for) Nida Factory Co., LTD. This is normally the only marking on the piece.

Style will also help you. A more modern design (1960's - 1970's) will probably indicate the Norwegian Design, while an older, more ornate design will probably be a product of Thailand.

Regarding the value, the Norwegian Design is significantly more valuable because of the artistry, identification of the artist by way of the hallmark (signature or marking) and limited production. The jewelry produced in Thailand is basically anonymous and mass-produced.

The 925 represents .925 (92.5%) pure silver...which is the benchmark for sterling silver.

Great information.  One more question: what if the piece just marked "ND" but not 925 in front of after.  Does it still mean that it's made by Norwegian Design?  Thanks.
