The numbers on the bottom of a silver candelabra typically represent the silver content or purity of the metal, indicated in terms of fineness. For example, "925" would indicate that the candelabra is made of sterling silver, which is 92.5% pure silver. This marking helps determine the value and authenticity of the piece.

If the letters on the clasp read STER, then the piece is sterling silver usually 92.5 percent 7.5 percent other metals.

No. Jewelry stamped 925, .925 or "sterling" is genuine sterling, not silverplate.
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%.
Oxidation numbers of all metals in an alloy, which Sterling is, are zero.
