IS my ring real if it says "Fas" but doesn't have a number?

I have a silver ring , and on the inside it says "FAS" but it doesn't say "925" and it also is stamped with "Thai". Is my ring sterling silver?

Most sterling silver products have a small stamp of "925" somewhere on them, even if there is no other mark. Which means that 925 parts out of 1,000 are silver and the remaining 75 parts are other metals like copper and tin. FAS means that the sterling silver is fused with another alloy, prob copper or tin.....doesn't mean that it's not real sterling silver, although you might wanna double check with a jeweler or appraiser.
