When UTC 925 is stamped on jewelry it means that the metal is 925 hundredths of the metal. The UTC means that due to the purity of the metal it should not be worn during ultrasounds, in extreme or sudden changing temperatures, or when it could come into contact with chemicals such as hairspray, perfumes or cleaners.
UTC = Ultimate Trading Company. A wholesaler jeweler.
