The outer surface of our newest Silver-Filled findings and wire is silver filled with a thickness which is more than a hundred times thicker than silver plated findings and bears the same properties as solid Sterling Silver. Each piece is 10% by weight and has an anti-tarnish coating for an added protection which also helps in extending the beauty of the items. This material is a great alternative to expensive Sterling Silver and has a high perceived value the same way as gold-filled compares to gold-plated.
