925 means 92.5% pure silver, so there are a few other minerals in there and they usually last longer. 999 means 99.9% pure silver so it's pretty much pure silver but wont last as long if you wear it often.

Would that be the same for gold? I have a 9-carat gold bracelet, witrh 375 stamped on it. so it would be 37.5% (9/24)
Thats always handy to know
