It means that your silver is only .896 grade.

The best silver you can buy is .925 which is what Tiffany and Co, PanCharmBracelets and Silpada sell.

Sweetheart..I wouldn't advise buying anything BUT .925 silver.

I have bought more silver in my lifetime than you could imagine, and and Ive never seen 896 content. It is most likely a make #, meaning it was the 896th piece to be made of that particular style.

And a side note, .925 Sterling Silver is the best silver for JEWELRY, it is by no means the best you can buy, which is of course .999 Pure bullion.

Cheers noobs.
