I have only recently started an apprentiship in goldsmithing but i belive it refers to the percentage of gold withing the ring as in 18 karat or 24 karat but the number means it is 96.9 percent pure gold wichh is a high percentage. sterling is 92.5 percent so you have a sterling gold ring there my friend :)

14k = 585 • 18k = 750 • 20k = 833 and so on. When 969 is found as a portion of a Hallmark the letters JTC will also be found. JTC is obviously the Markers Mark. The 969 *Was a marketing tool Zales used to to mark their jewelry. It took me a while to gather this information. I have a Pendant Hallmarked 969•14k•JTC
