What does 925 mean?
Pure silver is too soft for everyday use, so it's mixed with a little copper to make it stronger. Sterling silver is 925 parts silver in every 1,000, which is why it's stamped 925.
You'll often find the stamp inside rings, on necklace clasps, on the back of pendants and on the back of spoon handles. British pieces may also have a full hallmark with a lion, a town mark and a date letter.
