Why silver filled?... I wanted to make pieces that were more affordable than solid .925 silver. With my pendants the outer 10% of each pendant is .925 silver. These items have a brass core. The silver is mechanically bonded to the brass. The result is much thicker than silver plating. This process make the pendants much less expensive than solid sterling silver, and the difference in quality is impossible to see with the naked eye.
Unlike silver plate, which can wear off quite quickly, silver filled will keep its beauty through years of daily wear. Just use the same precautions you would with real silver jewelry - don't expose to harsh chemicals, and when not in use, store in a dry, airtight bag or container, as silver will tarnish when exposed to air. Your jewelry piece will come in a Shay Designs drawstring bag with a polishing cloth as well. It is advised that you keep your piece in this and away from air so it will have that lasting shine and sparkle. In the case it is exposed to too much air and shows signs of tarnish, just give it a little rub with the polishing cloth and it will be just like new!
