The 835 mark indicates the purity of silver jewelry, by parts per thousand. So "925" denotes sterling silver, at .935/1000, while "835" is alloyed to a greater extent with other metals.

835 silver was used (most commonly in vintage European jewelry) when "hallmark" or sterling quality was not specifically desired.
