what is sterling silver filled
What does Silver Filled mean? As I keep adding new silver filled items, I get a lot of emails asking what silver filled is. Silver filled is just like gold filled but in silver. There is a thick layer of .925 or better sterling silver mechanically bonded to brass, above we're showing a bead. Silver filled is 1/10 or 10% by weight sterling silver. Silver filled is hundreds of times thicker than regular silver plate and looks just like solid sterling silver. Silver filled also tarnishes less than sterling and if it does tarnish, cleans up easier than sterling silver.
