The numbers on a silver jewelry clasp are used to measure the precious metal content of the piece. For examples if the numbers on a clasp read 999 then the piece consists of 99 percent silver, and 1 percent other metal. If the letters on the clasp read STER, then the piece is sterling silver usually 92.5 percent 7.5 percent other metals.
