What does NF 925 mean when it’s stamped on a piece of jewelry?

What does the stamp "NF 925" signify when found on a piece of jewelry? I'm curious about its meaning and significance, particularly in relation to the materials used and the quality of the item. Any insights into how this marking affects the jewelry's value or authenticity would be greatly appreciated.

That stamp indicates that it is made with true real sterling silver.

The “NF” is a hallmark, indicating the sponsor.

92.5% pure silver.

(Unless, of course, it’s a fake stamp!)

You can dig further into the origin of the “NF” here:

NF has nothing to do with purity, sterling silver is 92.5 percent silver, NF means that the remaining 7.5 percent does not contain Nickle which a lot of people have severe reactions too.

NF means nickel free. 925 means it is 92.5% silver. The other 7.5% is an alloy that is nickel free. They usually add an alloy to all pure precious metals when making jewelry because they are too soft and bend easily when pressure is applied.

925 means it is real sterling silver. I get mine off of QVC and that is what they told me about the 925.

92.5 % pure silver. I’m guessing it’s old.
