Lady's pink purse and flower charms adorn this silver-filled anklet. Silver-filled is a great alternative to sterling silver for the budget-conscious buyer, and it is just as pretty and durable. As with gold filled items, the sterling silver layer of silver-filled jewelry is hundreds of times thicker than a silver plating. Silver filled wire can be manipulated just like sterling silver wire. The silver is bonded to the core metal and does not flake off the way a plating might.
