*1/10 SILVER FILLED WIRE (this is NOT Silver Plated)
This high quality wire is made with Sterling Silver that is electroplated (bonded, similar to Gold Filled) onto a base metal, which my supplier uses red brass (CDA #220; 90% copper/10% zinc) and has a 10% silver thickness, greater than 1/20 wire which is only 5%. As my supplier states: "The layer of Sterling Silver is hundreds of times thicker than silver plating." This metal is bright and shiny and will not chip off like Silver Plated. A great alternative to Sterling Silver at an affordable price.
PLEASE NOTE: Photos are taken using 'super macro' for full details and to show the exposed end of the ear wires reflecting the base metal. Under normal wear, you probably wouldn't even notice the ends.
