Silver-filled is a new layered metal, introduced during the surge of silver prices during the recession. Det er ikke en legering, fordi metalindholdet ikke er det samme i hele materialet. Sølvfyldt er enten 5% eller 10% sterling silver by weight, fused with heat and pressure to a brass core. Da sølvfyldt er et lagdelt metal, kan det ikke støbes. The silver layer thicker than silver plated, but this is still a much lower quality product than most solid silver alloys. Now that the price of silver has gone down, this metal is less common in the market. There is no legally approved quality stamp standard for silver-filled pieces at this time.
