A couple of rings

Low water at a lake this past weekend allowed me to find a couple of rings in the dry sand that normally are in water a little too deep to detect. One ring is homemade; looks like someone took a stainless steel bushing and carved a little pattern in it. The other is a hefty silver ring that has a chain link pattern. There is a stamp on the inside that I believe says "825". I'm sort of new at this. If anyone out there could give me a quick and dirty lesson on what that number means in the jewelry world, I would appreciate it.

Boy, the pulltabs were hurrendous. Sometimes I'd scoop a quart of sand and get two at once. I didn't want to miss a gold ring, so I dug 'em until I gave myself detector elbow. No gold ring this time. Plenty of coins, though.
