925 is the purity of the silver. 92.5 % fine silver which is Sterling Silver. The extra % is other materials added for strength and usability. 925 means it is sterling silver. The c could be a makers mark or could indicate that it is sterling plate.

923 is not a stamp for sterling silver. Sterling silver is defined as being 92.5 percent pure silver as a minimum and is therefore usually stamped 925. 923 could be another mark than a purity stamp though.
I have yet to find any Alpaca that is sterling. It is made from nickel and other varies metals. Alpaca was made for people in areas that could not afford sterling or gold jewelry. You can magnet test it......the easiest way to tell. :)
No. Jewelry stamped 925, .925 or "sterling" is genuine sterling, not silverplate.
There are two levels of clean when talking about sterling silver jewelry. The piece of sterling jewelry could be either simply dirty or tarnished or both. If the piece is only dirty a solution of Mr. Clean, water, and ammonia can be used. Mix half water and Mr. Clean with a small amount of ammonia. This is the same solution many jewelers I know use in their ultrasonic to clean all types of fine jewelry. Allow the jewelry to soak for 15 seconds then rinse with water and dry. You can repeat if need be. More likely than not sterling jewelry is also tarnished. Sterling does tarnish much quicker than gold or platinum. Removing tarnish from sterling silver jewelry is easy. Mix just enough water with baking soda to make a paste and use the paste to rub on the jewelry to remove the tarnish. Rinse with water then dry.
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.
Sterling silver charms can be purchased at most jewelry stores. Low end retailers like Target and Wal-Mart have select designs. Higher end retailers such as Bloomingdale's, Nordstroms and Zales will have a larger selection.
Could be a manufacturer's stamp, name and lamp style number. Gim is a lamp maker. 925 is a silver jewelry mark for sterling, not pure silver.
Platinum-clad sterling silver jewelry allows you to have all the wonderful shine and durability of platinum without the high cost. In addition, platinum-clad sterling silver jewelry isn't easily tarnished or discolored and, as it ages, it develops a beautiful sheen. However, oils from your lotions, makeup and skin, along with hairspray and dirt, can dull its natural shine. You could take your jewelry to a professional for cleaning, but it is easy to do at home. The whole cleaning process should take no more than an hour, depending on how many pieces you have to clean. The ammonia-based cleaning mixture is for plain platinum-clad sterling silver jewelry or those pieces that contain diamonds only. The ammonia will harm any other stones. For other gemstones, you can use the detergent and water mixture, leaving out the ammonia.
