The 935 indicates the grade of silver (likely European), which is slightly higher than sterling. The HB is a hallmark stamp and could indicate a maker or a cycle indicating when the piece was made. Without any more information of the piece, it would be difficult to tell exactly what the HB stands for.
The "935" refers to silver; not sure about the "ec."

The number indicates how much silver is in the jewelry. So a piece marked with 935 means that it has 93.5% silver in it and the other percentage can be made up of other metals, such as nickel, steel, iron, etc. Sometimes you will see different numbers like 925 as well, it just means 92.5%.
935 is the purity for Argentium silver. Argentium silver is NOT sterling silver. It is a different alloy which has germanium in it which makes it less prone to tarnishing. Sterling is an alloy that has more copper in it. The copper is added to fine silver in order to make it stronger.
93.5 percent pure silver
The 835 mark indicates the purity of silver jewelry, by parts per thousand. So "925" denotes sterling silver, at .935/1000, while "835" is alloyed to a greater extent with other metals. 835 silver was used (most commonly in vintage European jewelry) when "hallmark" or sterling quality was not specifically desired.

This means 0.935 or 93.5% silver. American sterling is 0.925 for jewelry. Fine silver coins are 0.999. Previous answer is correct but I do not know what country that standard is for. I can't find anywhere that uses 0.935 as a standard. Could this be a mis-read 925? If it is on a piece of jewelry, ask an Estate jeweler. Maybe s/he would be familiar with a foreign standard.
