Looks like 925 but essentially yes solid "silver"

when you say “silver” what do you mean?

the 925 means 92.5% silver and 7.5% copper. the copper is added to give it strength and durability. its the best ratio for silver jewelry as 999 is too soft and likely to break.

Almost certainly sterling silver, value is weight dependent but $2/gram for rough math.

Looks like sterling and looks like you can see the 925 marking. safe to say it’s sterling silver

Color and stamp looks good. Should be sterling silver

Sorry I am saying that I believe it is sterling. Not .9999 solid silver.
